Jason Blum Teases the End of ‘Paranormal Activity’ Franchise, Talks ‘Batgirl’ Axe at Locarno
06.08.2022 - 16:27 / variety.com
Marta Balaga Blumhouse Productions CEO Jason Blum teased the end of the “Paranormal Activity” franchise in Locarno, where he will receive the Premio Raimondo Rezzonico for Best Independent Producer.“It has been enough already. That last ‘Paranormal Activity’ movie was terrible,” he says.
“Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin” premiered in 2021, with another instalment currently eyeing a 2023 release.“With ‘Halloween,’ we only had the rights to three movies, so we said: ‘Halloween Ends’! It ends for Blumhouse, at least. With other things, you just have this feeling it’s time to put them to bed.

Hopefully, we will do the same thing with ‘The Exorcist’ that we did with ‘Halloween’ – make it in a way that’s fresh and worth revisiting. And feels different enough so that people are happy we did it,” he notes, admitting Gordon Green was the “first choice” to direct it.“He is very good at respecting intellectual property that already exists and putting a new spin on it.”Blum also talked about the recent “Batgirl” debacle, one that has left the industry buzzing.
The nearly completed $90 million movie was shelved by Warner Bros.“I was surprised by it but I understood why they chose to do it. You have a new

Fast and Furious franchise.The Aquaman actor is set to star opposite Vin Diesel in Fast X, directed by Louis Leterrier, which will be released in 2023.“I’ve never played a character that’s, what’s the word — he’s evil and quirky and androgynous,” Momoa told Entertainment Tonight. “He’s very sadistic and fun. It’s very bizarre.”Momoa said he would be playing an antagonist in the forthcoming film, while keeping more specific details under wraps.“I haven’t played a villain in a very long time,” he added.Earlier this year, the actor described his character as “a very flamboyant bad boy” while he was still in negotiations to join the franchise.Justin Lin, who directed five films in the Fast and Furious franchise, stepped down as director of Fast X shortly after production had started earlier this year.Long-term stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges and Sung Kang are also returning for the next film.Charlize Theron, who first appeared in the The Fate of the Furious, and then returned for F9, is also expected to be back.Reviewing the last Fast & Furious film, NME said: “It all accelerates towards a genuinely thrilling finale that pivots between full-throttle action and intense sentimentality, making Fast & Furious 9 feel a bit like a bear hug from your gruff older brother after you’ve nearly chucked up on a roller coaster.“Like so many things in the F&F franchise, it shouldn’t work but somehow does.
