I mean, how cool is that? Patrick Wilson is a horror legend in his own right thanks to his collaborations with James Wan in the Insidious and Conjuring franchises as well as Netflix’s In The Tall Grass. And now his place in horror history will be further cemented as he helms Insidious 5 for Blumhouse. And he’s probably going to scare us in the process.
The above announcement comes to us from Blumhouse’s official Twitter account. Patrick Wilson seems like an awesome choice to helm Insidious 5, since he played the role Josh Lambert in the first two Insidious movies. And while he’s had a break from the horror property, Wilson obviously understands James Wan’s original vision better than nearly anyone.
Following the events of Insidious 2, James Wan stopped directing and the franchise shifted its focus on Lin Shaye’s character Elise Rainier. There’s no telling what Insidious 5 will be about just yet, but Patrick Wilson’s involvement as a director is sure to build anticipation until more details about the developing project become public.
More to come…
