FilmDistrict has set the release date of James Wan's Insidious Chapter 2 for August 30th, 2013. It was also announced that Wan is returning to direct the film, as are actors Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, and Ty Simpkins. I wasn't sure if Wan would be back to direct the film, he said he was going to be more involved with this sequel than he was with the Saw sequels, and directing it gets him as involved as involved can be. I thought the first film was a great horror movie, and it's pretty cool that a sequel is going to get made! Here's what Wan had to say about Insidious 2 at NYCC,

I think the sequel to Insidious is kind of my reaction to Saw where for my own reason I wasn?t as involved in the sequels, and so I felt with Insidious, think it would be good to shepherd it and keep it more in track to the version I had when I made the first film so that it doesn?t detour too far. So yeah, I?m kind of working with Leigh on the story and the script.

I never set out to make sequels to any of my films I direct. If they happen, that?s great because that means people out there love it and they want more of it, but I always felt with Insidious we created this really interesting world that we can explore more, and so even though we didn?t set out to make a sequel, I felt that there are stories still out there that could be told.

This week, Insidious Chapter 2 officially began rolling cameras in Los Angeles and writer Leigh Whannell has posted the first pic from the set on his Twitter account (via ShockTillYouDrop.com).

Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey and Ty Simpkins will reprise their roles from the first film. The next installment opens August 30th. No word on the plot yet, but we'll keep you posted!

I don't particularly like horror movies because they almost never scare me but Insidious "had an effect" on me. It's not the kind of movie I'd see in theatres but it's enjoyable. I'll watch the sequel once it's available on Netflix.

Insidious was scary until it got stupid and I started to find it more funny then scary :rofl:

Hope this one is better than the first, from what I remember it was just full of jump scares and no horror at all.

Haven't seen a horror worth watching since The Orphanage (El Orfanato), so I think I'll give the first Insiduous a go.
