According to Variety Peli, Blum, and Schneider have inked a five-picture deal with leading Canadian distributor Alliance Films to finance and produce low-budget genre films starting with Insidious, which Wan will begin lensing in Los Angeles this spring from a script by Whannell.
Alliance will release the films in Canada, the UK, and Spain. CAA, which brokered the deal, will team with Alliance in repping domestic rights.
Though nothing about the film’s storyline has come to light as of yet, Wan did offer the following, “Leigh wrote a fantastic script that took a haunted house movie with all the usual conventions and twisted it on its head.”. Sold. Look for more soon!
