Welcome, Atom Insider readers, to Donato\u2019s Dungeon! Isn\u2019t chasing news headlines a grueling and exhausting task? Ever wonder where you can get all the week\u2019s biggest headlines in one easy-to-find place? That\u2019s why I\u2019m here, armed with a chainsaw and machete to slice through the week\u2019s onslaught of horror news to find the most notable happenings in our genre community. Let\u2019s see what sights I have to show you\u2026<\/p>\n
You didn’t think The Ghost Dimension<\/em> would be Toby’s last haunt, did you? Paramount and Blumhouse are developing a seventh Paranormal Activity<\/em><\/a> movie that’s yet to be titled. No word on if it’ll tie into Katie and Toby’s original story, but I hope it will for redemption. The Ghost Dimension<\/em> still stands as one of the worst franchise “enders” in horror history (not anymore, it seems). Paranormal Activity<\/em> deserves better.<\/p>\n Source: Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n It seems like those “talks” Jamie Lee Curtis and Jason Blum had a few weeks back were indeed about a Halloween<\/em> sequel! It’s been reported this week that “Universal will likely release the horror movie on\u00a0October 16, 2020<\/a>.” Curtis is set to return alongside\u00a0Judy Greer\u00a0and\u00a0Andi Matichak as the Strode women prepare to battle Michael at least one more time. Also worth noting is David Gordon Green reportedly wrote the script and will return to direct, squashing rumors about\u00a0Scott Teems writing a treatment. No word on if Danny McBride co-wrote alongside Green, but such details were not included.<\/p>\n Source: Collider<\/a><\/p>\n Talking to\u00a0KTLA 5, actress Annie Potts – who played the Ghostbusters’ secretary\u00a0Janine Melnitz – dropped that she believes<\/em> she’ll be in Jason Reitman’s new Ghostbusters<\/em> sequel.\u00a0 This is in no way a confirmation, but according to Potts:<\/p>\n I have heard some things. If it\u2019s true, what I\u2019ve heard \u2014 yeah, I think it\u2019s gonna happen. I think I will [be in the movie].<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The only confirmed original actor at this point is Sigourney Weaver as\u00a0Dana Barrett, with speculation that Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd have been wrangled as well. Add Annie Potts to the list of names who may or may not reprise their Ghostbusters<\/em> role.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Aykroyd has confirmed that Reitman’s Ghostbusters<\/em> will connect to the original in a way not yet explored:<\/p>\n “Jason came up with this idea, which is just so good, everybody got it right away and understood. It will connect, better than anything, to the first movie. That\u2019s about all I can say about it, but the two movies will connect, in a way that hasn\u2019t been done before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Danny Lloyd, famous for playing Danny Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining<\/em>, gave a rare interview in which he was asked to comment on Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep<\/em> trailer. Since the film is adapted from Stephen King’s sequel novel, much has been made about the actual sequel nature of Flanagan’s project. Here’s what Lloyd had to say about our first glimpse into Danny Torrance’s continued story:<\/p>\n I was surprised\u2026 It looked really good. I was curious since there is a fine line they have to walk with Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick. It looks like they found a way to pay tribute to both.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Meanwhile, King took to Twitter about Flanagan’s film:<\/p>\n This movie is going to blow your mind. If you have any left after IT CHAPTER 2, that is. https:\/\/t.co\/cUPCfwZS08<\/a><\/p>\n — Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 13, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n2. ‘Halloween’ Sequel Plans October 2020 Release<\/h2>\n
