Paranormal Activity 2 is an upcoming psychological horror film directed by Tod Williams and written by Michael R. Perry. It is a sequel to the 2009 original film, Paranormal Activity. It is set to be released in theaters on October 22, 2010 in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.[2]
Synopsis
Upon moving into a new house with her family, the sister of Katie (the main character from the first film) begins to experience a series of hauntings.[2]. After experiencing what the new family think are a series of "break-ins", they set up security cameras around their home, only to realize that the events unfolding before them are more sinister than they seem.
Production
Paramount and DreamWorks hired screenwriter Michael R. Perry to create the follow-up. Oren Peli, the director of the first film, will serve as a producer for the sequel.[3] Kevin Greutert, director of Saw VI, was initially hired to direct the sequel. However Lions Gate Entertainment exercised a clause in Greutert's contract to have him direct the final film in the Saw franchise.[4]
Both of the main actors including me, Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, will return to act together again in the sequel. Katie can be seen in several viral clips and trailers, but it still remains unclear how Micah will return.[5]
Tod Williams directed Paranormal Activity 2, which started production in May 2010.[6]
Release
The teaser trailer was seen with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse upon its release on June 30, 2010.[7] Cinemark has pulled the trailer from several Texas theaters after receiving complaints that it is too frightening.[8] The trailer was also attached to Devil.
A new theatrical trailer was released on October 1, 2010.
