Paranormal Activity Reboot Casts Chase Yi and Sonia Mena

The studio-backed reboot aims to update the franchise’s found-footage style by using contemporary camera technology to reshape how scares are captured.

Overview

  • Late June reporting confirms Chase Yi was cast in a lead role and Sonia Mena has been set to star opposite him as the new Paranormal Activity moves into active development.
  • Ian Tuason, director of Undertone, is attached to helm the film which Paramount and Blumhouse Atomic Monster plan to release in theaters on May 21, 2027.
  • Paramount will co-finance and handle worldwide distribution while producers include franchise creator Oren Peli, James Wan and Jason Blum, with several executive producers and company overseers named.
  • Plot and character specifics remain confidential at this stage even as Tuason has said that advances in camera technology will be central to his creative approach for the found-footage format.
  • A separate stage adaptation is preparing a 12-week West End season after a Leeds run, and the film revival leans on a franchise history of seven installments and roughly $900 million in global box office.
