We previously reported that Jocelin Donahue was playing a young version of Lorraine Lambert in Insidious Chapter 2, and we know of one more person who will be joining her for a trip to the past. Lindsay Seim (pictured below) has been hired to play a young Elise Rainier in the sequel. The part was played in the first movie by Lin Shaye, who is also expected to appear in the sequel as well.
James Wan returned to direct Insidious Chapter 2 and many of the original cast members have returned, including Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey, and Ty Simpkins. The release date was originally scheduled for August 30th, but has been moved back to September 20th.
