Rumor Control: No ‘Paranormal Activity 3’ for Feig, Avary
Some unconfirmed rumors hit the web this evening that we’re quickly going to debunk before it gets (too) out of hand.
Doing some fact checking, Bloody Disgusting is told that Paul Feig (Bad Teacher) will NOT be directing Paranormal Activity 3, and Roger Avary (Silent Hill, Pulp Fiction) will NOT be writing the screenplay.
That was easy.
In addition, we already reported that Michael R. Perry would NOT be involved, as of this past January.
That’s a whole lotta “NOT”s.
The only FACT is that Paramount Pictures will release on October 21, 2011, and creator Oren Peli is (obviously) still producing alongside Room 101.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
