Paramount has hired Director Kevin Greutert (who was editor on the Saw movie series and directed Saw 6) to helm the movie sequel to Paranormal. And Screenwriter Michael R. Perry is in working on the script.

I'm a surprised that Oren Peli isn't directing Parnormal 2, but he's still involved, to a certain extent, as producer. And he seems confident that Director Kevin Greutert and Scriptwriter Michael Perry will be up to the task:



"These guys get it, and the fans won’t be disappointed."
Oren Peli





The release date of Paranormal Activity has been set for October 22, 2010. So it's quite clear that they want to eclipse Lionsgate's Saw franchise, with their own Paranormal Activity franchise.

Hope to get some plot details of Paranormal Activity 2 soon!

Actor Micah Sloat who played in the first film talked to Movieweb about the movie Paranormal Activity 2:



"I can't say anything specific about it, but I can definitely tell you that Paramount and the producers are very aware of what happened with Blair Witch 2, and how you can't really take something that's unique like Blair Witch or Paranormal and then follow it up with just a typical, Hollywood horror film. It just doesn't work. I think you can expect Paranormal Activity 2 to be just as unique, or at least have a quality of uniqueness, just like the original did, in its own way and I think it's really going to be a great movie."
Actor Micah Sloat

Considering how the first film ended, I doubt Micah Sloat will be back for the sequel of Paranormal Activity. But he must have overheard a few things about the sequel or even talked about it with Director Oren Peli... Anyway, glad to hear that Paramount will take time to deliver a movie as stunning as the first one!
