Hayden Panettiere playing the convicted murderer from a horrific and controversial case that is barely over? It’s the film “too soon” became a phrase for.

Paramount is going ahead with a Paranormal Activity sequel. Seemingly deaf to the film world’s exclamations that the only reason why the first one worked was because it had a 50 quid budget and wasn’t at all commercialised, the studio now has a definite director attached to the sequel, and plans to release it just before Halloween 2011.
