Scott Derrickson talks Sinister Sequel

After the box office success and positive audience response for Sinister, it doesn't surprise us to hear that a sequel may be headed our way. During a recent interview, director Scott Derrickson confirmed to SciFiNow that he is interested in seeing a sequel made, and talks about what his involvement in the project would be:

“We’re in the process of doing that.... I certainly want to write the script and be involved with it as the producer – I would possibly direct the next one, we’ll see... But I don’t see myself just handing the franchise over to just anybody and letting it go... If it goes on – then maybe – but I want to see it start its process on the right foot at least, and always have some say and have some involvement in it.”

Sinister was a Blumhouse production, which was developed for an estimated $3 million and earned $65.4 million worldwide. The movie is headed to Blu-ray/DVD on February 19th and we've included some release details below:

“A true crime novelist struggling to find his next big story moves his family into a house where the horrific murder of an entire family took place. But after finding a box of home videos in which other families are also brutally murdered, his investigation leads him to a supernatural entity that may be placing his own family in harm’s way.”

Sinister stars Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, James Ransone, Fred Dalton Thompson, Nicholas King, Clare Foley, Victoria Leigh, Juliet Rylance and Michael Hall D’Addario.
