On the high of December, Paramount revealed it was doing one other Paranormal Activity flick with James Wan available as producer, and now they may’ve landed a director for the gig.

Per the Hollywood Reporter, Canadian filmmaker Ian Tuason is in remaining negotiations to reboot the found footage horror series. If you happen to haven’t heard of him earlier than, that’s the purpose; he gained recognition making VR horror shorts on-line earlier than tackling his first characteristic movie Undertone. That movie premiered at a Canadian movie pageant earlier this yr and was so common it launched a bidding struggle which will see it get launched by A24.

Ought to Tuason be signed on, it’ll convey issues full circle for him, as he’s deemed the primary Paranormal Exercise one of many high three films that scare him behind The Blair Witch Venture and the unique Exorcist. There’s some extra overlap between Paranormal and Undertone in that he’s referred to as the latter “discovered audio” reasonably than a discovered footage film, owing to its central storytelling gimmick of audio recordsdata a couple of couple being possessed, just like Paranormal’s recordings of a pair being haunted by a ghost in the home.

Whether or not directing duties go to Tuason or another person, we’ll have extra on this Paranormal Exercise reboot as information emerges.
