Insidious franchise star Lin Shaye has ideas for further sequels

Insidious franchise star Lin Shaye has idea for further sequels or spin-offs that would center on Elise Rainier and her niece Imogen

Insidious: The Red Door, the fifth film in the Insidious horror franchise, is now in theatres (you can read our review HERE). A spin-off, Thread: An Insidious Tale, is already in the works… and producer James Wan, who also directed the first two Insidious movies, has implied that there could be many more Insidious spin-offs in our future. One franchise cast member who has ideas for further Insidious sequels or spin-offs is Lin Shaye, who has played psychic medium Elise Rainier throughout the series. Speaking with Screen Rant, Shaye said she might start working with her son to put together a treatment and/or lookbook so she can pitch those ideas to the powers that be.

Shaye said, “I have some ideas, I’ve thought about doing a little treatment with some thoughts I have about where (Elise) is in The Further, what she could be doing in The Further. It opens up your own imagination, and because The Further is not defined at all, except for there being fog on the floor, it’s sort of all we know for sure. [Laughs] So, I definitely have some thoughts that I really may put into action and do a lookbook or something with my son, we’ve talked about that. He’s a very savvy writer and creator. I wouldn’t do anything, obviously, without approval of any kind, but in terms of my own imagination, there’s some nice stories I can come up with.

Shaye specifically said that she would like to see the continuing story of Elise’s niece Imogen, who is also psychic and was played by Caitlin Gerard in Insidious: The Last Key. The fact that we haven’t seen more of Imogen yet is “something that always — it didn’t bother me, but I always wondered why they ended it like that if they weren’t going to continue on some other road with those same characters. I have no idea, it’s been a finicky franchise in that way where they’ve set up other characters that have come through different installments that we never see again, or that storyline never goes further, so — pardon the expression — maybe we’ll all end up in The Further. [Laughs] It’s possible, we’ve really created a true universe of people, so it’s sort of open-ended, totally, which is a beautiful way to create.

Would you like to see more Insidious sequels or spin-offs that center on Lin Shaye’s Elise and/or Caitlin Gerard’s Imogen? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

Barbie: Diablo Cody opens up about why she exited the blonde bombshell’s silver screen spectacle

Barbie: Diablo Cody opens up about why she exited the blonde bombshell’s silver screen spectacle

Original Barbie writer Diablo Cody opens up about her exit from Sony’s attempt to bring the blonde bombshell to screens.

Like most films, Barbie‘s journey to the silver screen is a tricky bit of Hollywood back-and-forth. Initially, Sony owned the rights to the blonde bombshell’s silver-screen antics, but that venture stalled out after several missteps. There was a time when Amy Schumer and Anne Hathaway could have been behind the wheel of Barbie’s pink convertible. Still, they exited the project when bringing the Mattel icon to theaters proved too exhausting. Schumer said she fled Barbie after thinking the script wasn’t “feminist and cool” enough. She’s just one of many who found Sony’s approach to the material needing more refinement. Enter Diablo Cody, who 2018 told ScreenCrush she left the project because she “was literally incapable of turning in a ‘Barbie’ draft. God knows I tried.”

It’s been several years since Cody’s comments, and now she’s opening up to GQ magazine about why she abandoned her mission to introduce audiences to a different kind of Barbie.

“I think I know why I shit the bed,” Cody told the outlet. “When I was first hired for this, I don’t think the culture had not embraced the femme or the bimbo as valid feminist archetypes yet. If you look up ‘Barbie’ on TikTok you’ll find this wonderful subculture that celebrates the feminine, but in 2014, taking this skinny blonde white doll and making her into a heroine was a tall order.”

With so much progress left to go, times have changed since Cody was tasked with bringing Barbie to cinemas. Cody’s script didn’t work because of Schumer’s unique approach to comedy. “That idea of an anti-Barbie made a lot of sense given the feminist rhetoric of 10 years ago,” Cody said. “I didn’t really have the freedom then to write something that was faithful to the iconography; they wanted a girl-boss feminist twist on Barbie, and I couldn’t figure it out because that’s not what Barbie is.”

Interestingly, The Lego Movie played a part in Cody’s frustration with Sony’s desire for a new take on the plastic icon. The animated build-a-brick adventure figured out the formula for bringing toys to the big screen, with dollars raining down and tie-in merchandise selling like hotcakes. Sony wanted that same reaction from audiences for Barbie. People often say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but in Cody’s case, The Lego Movie acted like a shadow cast upon her best efforts.

“I heard endless references to ‘The Lego Movie’ in development,” Cody told GQ, “and it created a problem for me because they had done it so well. Any time I came up with something meta, it was too much like what they had done. It was a roadblock for me, but now enough time has passed that they can just cast [‘The Lego Movie’ antagonist] Will Ferrell as the antagonist in a real-life Barbie movie and nobody cares.”

Despite Barbie’s complicated journey to screens, Greta Gerwig‘s version is one of the year’s most anticipated films. The current iteration of Barbie looks odd, meta, stylish, and dark regardless of the sets getting washed in pretty pinks and eye-popping neon. Let’s hope the version we get is the ideal.

The Barbie cast includes many of Hollywood’s heavy hitters and fresh faces, including Margot Robbie (The Suicide Squad) and Ryan Gosling (La La Land) as Barbie and Ken, alongside America Ferrera (End of Watch), Kate McKinnon (The Spy Who Dumped Me), Michael Cera (Arrested Development), Ariana Greenblatt (Borderlands), Issa Rae (Insecure), Thea Perlman (Matilda), and Will Ferrell (Elf). The film also stars Ana Cruz Kayne (Little Women), Emma Mackey (Sex Education), Nari Nef (Transparent), Alexandra Shipp (the X-Men films), Kingsley Ben-Adir (Secret Invasion), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Ncuiti Gatwa (Doctor Who), Scott Evans (Grace and Frankie), Jamie Demetriou (Cruella), Connor Swindells (Emma), Sharon Rooney (Dumbo), Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton), Ritu Arya (The Umbrella Academy), Dua Lipa, and Helen Mirren (The Queen).

Greta Gerwig directs from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach, based on Mattel’s rich history with the Barbie toy brand. The film’s producers are Oscar nominee David Heyman (Marriage StoryGravity), Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Robbie Brenner, with Michael Sharp, Josey McNamara, Ynon Kreiz, Courtenay Valenti, Toby Emmerich, and Cate Adams serving as executive producers.

"From finding horseshoe crabs to the smell of orange blossoms, some of my best memories are from the Sunshine State!"

Florida is more than sun and beach, offering activities from outdoor adventures, theme parks, historical attractions, animal encounters and more.

There are so many diverse, family-friendly hotels, resorts and rental home options perfect for all types of families. Go camping or glamping in a teepee or stay at fun places like Cheeca Lodge and Spa in Islamorada, where kids can enjoy activities such as pier fishing and lagoon swimming, or even visit the History of Diving Museum. Florida also has many amazing vacation homes, which are great for multi-generational travelers and large families who can enjoy the perks of a home away from home. Florida is even home to the Vacation Home Capital of the World: Kissimmee. Finally, fur babies are a part of the family too, and Florida boasts plenty of pet-friendly accommodations, parks, beaches and restaurants. 

VISIT FLORIDA encourages travelers to plan a getaway no matter their abilities. Florida has 175 state parks, many of which offer options for visitors with additional needs, such as beach wheelchairs, accessible boats, and scopes for colorblind visitors to see the flora and fauna in its bright hues. Orlando has been recognized as one of the nation's top three most disability-friendly cities. In Mount Dora, there is also the Rusty Anchor Boat Tour, which offers accessible cruises to see Florida wildlife in the ancient cypress swamps. The Jupiter Flatwoods Trail in the Palm Beaches is a free, autism-friendly natural area, offering hours of safe and sensory outdoor exploration.
