Filming For 'INSIDIOUS 5' Has Officially Wrapped!
The working title for ‘Insidious 5’ was “FEAR THE DARK” and today we have word that the film has wrapped principal photography. The film is heading to theaters, as of this writing, on July 7, 2023 but that could change.
After starring in the first two movies as Josh Lambert, we learned in 2020 that Patrick Wilson is returning to the franchise as the *director* of the upcoming fifth installment.
Wilson writes on Instagram, “…lights out on our next installment of the Insidious franchise. Second leg of the journey is done. Now on to post. To my entire cast/crew…THANK YOU…for the drive, the passion, and the hours. And a big thanks to all the partners/spouses/families/friends who dealt with our wacky schedule.”
The film was shot under the working title Fear the Dark, but at this time the fifth installment in the Insidious franchise doesn’t yet have an official title. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
Patrick Wilson will star in the film alongside the returning Ty Simpkins as Dalton Lambert, with Rose Byrne also returning in next year’s brand new movie as Renai Lambert.
“Josh Lambert (Wilson) heads east to drop his son Dalton (Simpkins) off at an idyllic, ivy-covered university. However, Dalton’s college dream becomes a nightmare when the repressed demons of his past suddenly return to haunt them both.”
This will be Wilson’s debut as a director. Scott Teems (Halloween Kills) wrote the script based on a story by franchise co-creator Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man).
“I’m honored and thrilled to be at the helm of the next Insidious installment, which will provide an amazing chance to unpack everything the Lamberts went through a decade ago, as well as deal with the consequences of their choices,” Wilson said in a statement back in 2020. “Directing the movie is both professionally and personally a full circle moment for me, and I am extremely grateful to be entrusted in continuing to tell this frightening and haunting story. Into the further we go…”
