by

New details about both “Insidious 6” and “Ma 2” are emerging. It appears that Blumhouse Production might soon finalize the choice of their leading actress for “Insidious 6”, whereas a potential director for “Ma 2” has been identified.

Who is in talks to star in Insidious 6?

As per Jeff Sneider’s latest update from The InSneider newsletter, there are plans for Haley Bennett (known for Magazine Dreams) to headline the sixth installment of the renowned horror series. It is anticipated that Jacob Chase will direct this film, a fact previously mentioned by Sneider as well.

The franchise started with the 2011 movie Insidious, directed by James Wan. It was incredibly successful, garnering mostly favorable reviews from both critics and viewers while earning nearly $100 million at the box office. This success significantly boosted the careers of Wan and writer Leigh Whannell, as well as propelling Blumhouse Productions to new levels of achievement.

Who is directing Ma 2?

In addition to the updates shared in Sneider’s newsletter, there are developments regarding the upcoming film Ma 2. As reported by Sneider, Michael Showalter (from The Idea of You) is nearing finalization on discussions for directing the sequel. At this point, details about the movie remain scant, with only the knowledge that Octavia Spencer will reappear in some role as the main character being disclosed so far.

The initial film was helmed by Tate Taylor, who crafted the script with Scotty Landes. The ensemble included Juliette Lewis, Diana Silvers, Corey Fogelmanis, Gianni Paolo, McKaley Miller, Luke Evans, Missi Pyle, Allison Janney, Dominic Burgess, and others. During its cinema release, it garnered a global income of more than $61 million. While it started with mixed reactions, the first part eventually gained a devoted fanbase, known as a cult following.

In a rephrased version: “An older woman, living alone, makes friends with some local teens and grants them permission to host parties in her basement. However, there are certain conditions: One of the group members must remain sober, avoid profanity, and never venture upstairs; they should also address her as ‘Ma’. At first, this seems like a great opportunity for the teens, but as Ma’s friendly demeanor evolves into an unhealthy obsession, what started out as an exciting experience transforms into a horrifying ordeal. Her home, once considered the best hangout spot in town, becomes the worst place on Earth.
