Paranormal Activity 2 gets ready with Saw VI director!

By Ace Fernandez and Borys Kit / Paramount has hired screenwriter Michael R. Perry and director Kevin Greutert to create the sequel to 2009’s biggest surprise hit, “Paranormal Activity,” which scared up $151 million in worldwide grosses in the fall on a shoestring $15,000 budget and a shrewd, opt-in Web marketing campaign.

Significantly, Paramount will unleash it in theaters on the pre-Halloween weekend of October 22, which sets it against that date’s reigning champion in previous years, the next installment in Lionsgate’s “Saw” series (this year would be “VII”). In a symbolic twist, Greutert made his directorial debut on the sixth “Saw” film, which grossed just $64.8 million worldwide, with observers thinking that the franchise may be bleeding dry.

Beth’s Top 5 And Bottom 5 Films For 2008!

BETH’S BOTTOM 5

5. THE HAPPENING - The trailer looked amazing! It was written and directed by the great M. Night Shyamalan. It even had Markie Mark!…But even with all these things, this film left me wanting to do what the characters in the movie were doing…kill myself. You would think that since it was an M. Night Syhamalan film it’d have this amazing twist right!? WRONG! Aside from waiting for things to get really interesting (which never happened) all I wanted to do was Knock Mark Whalburg out for being such a douche bag, bad actor and get my money back for wasting my time at the theatre! The best part about going to see this was the popcorn…and the guys jumping off the roof in the film cause that was gory as hell, but that’s it! Read more …
