What is or is not ironic can be left up to things like dictionaries or Alanis Morsette songs, you have to admit, this is pretty darn interesting.
In 2009, a little movie called Paranormal Activity came out of nowhere and soundly thrashed an established horror franchise in Saw VI. Paranormal Activity went on to be the success story of the year, while Saw VI simply disappeared into oblivion, setting up another movie this year. However, with this in mind, it was announced yesterday that Saw VI director Kevin Greutert would be helming a sequel to Paranormal Activity. That’s not all, the movie is also is taking the release date of Saw VII, October 22, 2010. Clearly, that is more intriguing than rain on your wedding day, or some free line when you’ve already paid (yes, I know it’s not really ironic, please don’t kill me).
Paranormal Activities original director, Oren Peli will be kept on as a consultant. There is no word on whether it will be another shaky camera, or even what the plot will be; let’s just hope it’s nothing like the disastrous Blair Witch 2.
