Teaser Trailer Debut for ‘Saw’ Co-Creator’s ‘Insidious’!!

Published

Mark my words, 20 years from now you’re all going to look back at the works of James Wan and Leigh Whannell and find yourself saying their names in the same breath as John Carpenter, Wes Craven, and other great genre writer/directors. Saw is a classic, their creepy follow-up Dead Silence has aged like fine wine, and now they complete the trilogy of terror with the upcoming release of Insidious, their Poltergeist-inspired horror flick that made my top 10 of 2010 list (read the review). Arriving in theaters April 1, a young family makes the terrifying discovery that the body of their comatose boy has become a magnet for malevolent entities, while his consciousness lies trapped in the dark and insidious realm known as The Further. Rose Byrne, Patrick Wilson, and Barbara Hershey all star. Check out the teaser trailer inside!

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
