Original Actors Back For Paranormal Activity 2?

Well this could be a turn up for the books! Why, oh, why is Micah Sloat bigging up Paranormal Activity 2 – and why does he keep using the word “we”? Speaking to MTV, Sloat has been blabbing about the sequel to last year’s low-fi horror sensation:

“We have money now, but we’re staying true to the heart of the movie, to the spirit of it, to the vision.”

Many thought the film would be a new story, but could it be a prequel of some kind? Or will this go down ‘The Exorcist 2: The Heretic’ route and have a whole “remember what happened?” plot line (please God, no. That film was bloody awful). According, again to Sloat, my Exorcist 2 hypothesis is not on the money:

“It’s really cool, it’s gonna be really interesting and it’s not gonna suck, which most horror sequels do. This is gonna be good.”

Then again, he could be lying…and a studio plant. You know, mention the film, drop a few misleading hints, making the audience think one thing and reveal another. There was a recent news story of Brian De Palma’s potential involvement after Kevin Greutert was ordered back to the Saw VII set to finish off the franchise by Lionsgate. I’m sure he’s cursing them under his breath every day for that one!

So…Paranormal Activity 2…just what is it going to be?
