Today, Wan broke the news – again, on Twitter – that Leigh Whannell, writer and co-star of the Insidious movies, will direct Insidious Chapter 3.
Whannell, who penned the script, is making his feature directorial debut. Congrats, Leigh!
No word yet as to where the story will head, but recently Whannell told fans that the third film will be more in line with the first Insidious. It’s very likely that a new story thread will be introduced to carry us into further “chapters.” I’m happy to hear that this sequel is staying within the creative family.
Shooting begins July 7th and FilmDistrict will distribute.
I’m truly honored & excited to b passing the torch onto my great bud @LWhannell, who’ll make his directorial debut w #INSIDIOUS 3 @blumhouse
