Who will direct Paranormal Activity 2?

Although newcomer Oren Peli directed the surprise hit low budget film Paranormal Activity, he’s already moving onto bigger and better things like other directing gigs. Paramount Pictures is salivating still over the thought of making a sequel to the supernatural horror/thriller film, and if they want to keep on schedule that means they have to go digging around for a new director if Peli is not up for it.

Originally Kevin Greutert was poised to helm the sequel to the eerie film, but since he got scooped up to direct Saw VII, the search continues. There are a couple of directors that are being eyeballed to take on the sequel, and among those are Brian De Palma, Brad Anderson and Greg McLean, says the LA Times.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with who these people are, let me refresh your memory. Brian De Palma directed several popular films which include the 1983 Scarface as well as Carlito’s Way and Carrie. Brad Anderson took the reigns on The Machinist and a few episodes of the Fox television series Fringe. When it comes to Greg McLean, he’s directed Wolf Creek and Rogue.
