“Paranormal Activity 2″ - October 2010

Paramount Studios has hired Saw VI director Kevin Greutert to step behind the camera for the eagerly-anticipated Paranormal Activity sequel, The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday. Paranormal Activity 2 hits theaters Oct. 22, going head to head against the latest Saw movie at the box office this Halloween.

Oren Peli, who directed the original Paranormal Activity as an independent film, will produce the follow-up.

Paranormal Activity – who was shot on budget of just $15,000 — grossed more than $150 million at the international box office last year after gaining momentum via an online campaign. The critically-acclaimed horror hit is the most profitable film in Paramount’s history.
