Whoa.

As sad as the last bit about American Pie made me, folks, I got all sorts of reasons to be cheery happy about THIS newsy bit.

Apparently the hole left by Kevin Greutert in Paranormal Activity 2 might be getting filled by a downright legend in the industry, Brian De Palma.

Now, admittedly, nothing is official yet, and there are other choices currently being bickered over.  But they’re not exactly GREAT choices–De Palma’s on a list with Transsiberian’s Brad Anderson and Wolf Creek’s Greg McLean.  Though in all honesty, neither of these two have the background and sheer name recognition of Brian De Palma.

That and can you imagine the marketing?  “Paranormal Activity 2: A Brian De Palma Film”.

I just got goosebumps.

Though it remains to be seen who’s actually going to get in, and as a result, what direction the film will take.  There was even some word going around that they were looking to bring in the writer of A Beautiful Mind to direct.  But all this adds up to one important point–Paranormal Activity 2 just might be worth catching after all.
