Paranormal Activity 2?
The LA Times is reporting that Paramount Pictures is tinkering around with the idea of a sequel to the sudden Oren Peli hit “Paranormal Activity“.
“We have the rights on a worldwide basis to do ‘Paranormal 2′ and we’re looking to see if that makes some sense,” Paramount Chairman Brad Grey said in an interview today.
Paramount has an extra reason to make a sequel to “Paranormal Activity” beyond trying to duplicate its success: Although the studio has only domestic rights to the current film, it would have worldwide rights to a follow-up, Grey noted.
Currently “Paranormal Activity” has made $62.4 Million domestically and is starting its international run this coming Friday. However, with the particular ending that this movie had, it’s a tough task for Paramount with trying to get a solid enough idea to warrant a sequel. There is the lackluster sequel to “The Blair Witch Project” that comes to mind, but Paramount Pictures is in the mindset to still strike while the iron is hot. This might just be one of those films that should be left alone, but this reporter said this before with a small film called “Saw” and look what happened.
