I’m not exactly sure where Paramount Pictures stands right now with Paranormal Activity 5, but I know that they were originally having trouble finding a cool new take. It’s also the reason that Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones nearly became the fifth film, and was released this past January. Unfortunately, it didn’t perform as well as expected, and now it looks as if the studio is taking a (smart) breather.

Via THR, Paramount Pictures International svp, EMEA Edward Ryan told CineEurope attendees that the fifth official film in the franchise will have to wait until 2016. That’s a long wait considering it was originally slated for release this October.

Now that they have time to find an interesting take, what would you guys like to see from PA5?

From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.

Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…

“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”

The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).

Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.

In other words, we have no idea what to expect from this one. Stay tuned for more.

BoulderLight’s Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz will also produce along with Vertigo’s Roy Lee. BoulderLight’s Tracy Rosenblum and Vertigo’s Andrew Childs will exec produce.
