EXCLUSIVE: Chase Yi (Mythic Quest) has landed a lead role in the new Paranormal Activity movie from Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Paramount Pictures, Deadline has learned.
Plot and character details for the next installment in the found-footage franchise remain under wraps as the project moves forward as a priority title for Paramount Pictures and Blumhouse Atomic.
Ian Tuason, the Canadian filmmaker behind A24’s Undertone, is set to direct. Slated for release on May 21, 2027, the film will be financed and produced jointly by Paramount and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, with Paramount handling worldwide distribution.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Peli’s original Paranormal Activity, released in 2009, broke out as a cultural phenomenon and one of the most profitable films in cinema history, grossing nearly $194 million worldwide and reigniting interest in the found footage subgenre post-Blair Witch Project. The franchise has since grown to seven installments that have brought in more than $900 million globally.
Recently seen on Apple TV’s Mythic Quest, Yi has also put in appearances on shows like High Potential, The Rehearsal and Hacks. He is represented by Link Entertainment and Bloch Law.
