Jason Blum Teases the End of ‘Paranormal Activity’ Franchise, Talks ‘Batgirl’ Axe at Locarno
teased the end of the “Paranormal Activity” franchise in Locarno, where he will receive the Premio Raimondo Rezzonico for Best Independent Producer.
He will reunite with “Halloween” star Jamie Lee Curtis, however, who signed a first-look deal with Blumhouse while helmer David Gordon Green will move onto “The Exorcist.” Blum also talked about the recent “Batgirl” debacle, one that has left the industry buzzing. The nearly completed $90 million movie was shelved by Warner Bros.
“The way studio filmmaking works is correlated to budget, the more expensive the movie, the more time the director is strategizing on how they are going to get their way. On a $200 million movie, the director is spending 80% of their time on politics and 20% actually making the movie. On our $4 million movie, 100% of time is spent on making a good movie.”
“When the budgets are so big, the people in charge need to think the script is amazing and perfect before they say ‘yes’. But I would rather trust the director than an executive over what’s amazing and perfect.” Still, it wasn’t the $68 million budget of Jordan Peele’s “Nope” that prevented them from working together again.
