Fresh off the critical and box office success of this weekend’s The Invisible Man, writer/director Leigh Whannell has inked a two-year overall deal with Blumhouse, THR reports today.
“The first-look deal will include projects [Whannell] writes, directs or produces,” the site notes.
Blumhouse and Whannell have a long history together, collaborating on various genre films including the Insidious franchise and both Upgrade and The Invisible Man.
“Leigh creates movies which not only build franchises but fundamentally change the landscape of their genre,” Jason Blum said in a statement. “After he and James Wan made Saw, it launched dozens of copycats. Their work with Blumhouse on Insidious founded not just a franchise but dozens of classical proscenium PG-13 supernatural horror films. I have no doubt that will be true for The Invisible Man and for anything else he wants to create. I just want to be there with him when he does!”
It’s too early to know what sorts of projects Whannell and Blumhouse will be making together in the future, but here’s hoping more horror films are on the way from Whannell.
Whannell’s writing credits include Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Dead Silence and all four Insidious films, and he both wrote and directed Insidious: The Last Key, Upgrade and The Invisible Man.
