‘Invisible Man’ Director Leigh Whannell Signs Deal With Blumhouse

If you’re a true horror fan then you will recognize the name of Leigh Whannell, the writer-director-actor who co-created the Saw franchise, the Insidious franchise and the films Cooties, Upgrade, and most recently directed The Invisible Man. Whannell has just signed an over deal with Blumhouse for the next two years projects, some films, some series. The deal will require Whannell to write, direct, and produce, Deadline is reporting. Jason Blum, Blumhouse CEO and founder, praised Whannell. “Leigh creates movies which not only build franchises but fundamentally change the landscape of their genre. After he and James Wan made Saw, it launched dozens of copycats. Their work with Blumhouse on Insidious founded not just a franchise but dozens of classical proscenium PG-13 supernatural horror films. I have no doubt that will be true for The Invisible Man and for anything else he wants to create. I just want to be there with him when he does!” Whannell had this to

‘Upgrade’ Director To Remake ‘Escape From New York’

Genre fans should be very familiar with filmmaker Leigh Whannell, who is behind the Insidious franchise, Saw and Upgrade. He continues to add to his long list of horror hits. Not only was it just announced that Whannell will be in the director’s chair for Universal’s reboot of The Invisible Man, we’ve just learned that he will also be directing the remake of John Carpenter’s classic Escape from New York. THR is reporting that while no deal is in place at the moment their sources are saying he’s the one. “Whannell is kickstarting Escape from New York with a new vision for the project that sources say will retain elements of the original but bring new ideas to the table. One of Whannell’s goals is to avoid the bloated tentpole remake path that afflicted the reboots of the other 1980s-era movies such as Robocop and Total Recall.” Kurt Russell starred in the 1981 original as Snake Plissken, a convicted bank

In the brand new terrifying trailer unveiled for Insidious: The Last Key we see Lin Shaye’s character Elise facing her biggest challenge yet, facing the spirits that stalk her childhood home.

In the film, Dr. Elise Rainier, the brilliant parapsychologist, faces her most fearsome and personal haunting yet: in her own family home. You meet Elise at a very different point in her life. It takes place right after the end of Chapter 3, when she walks off with Specs and Tucker and they’re starting their company, Spectral Sightings, and they are now living at her home. They’re like her two sons, her two bad sons. So it starts out in a very jovial,

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Lin Shaye

Hello again, my Little Monsters. How lovely it is for you all to join me again on this Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday. As you can see the Woman of Horror we honor today is the wonderful Lin Shaye. This Detroit, MI native caught the acting bug when she attended the University of Michigan, where she was an Art Major. During her time there, Lin also appeared in as many dramatic productions as she could. After she completed her degree at Michigan, Lin moved to New York to enroll at Columbia University and also pursue an acting career on the stage. She would find roles off Broadway and OFF off Broadway, and would also earn herself a Master of Fine Arts in acting from Columbia. In 1975 Lin would start her career as a whore. WHOA, calm down. I’m not slut shaming or casting insults at her. Lin’s first listed credit was literally as a “whore” in the movie Hester
