Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne Will Not Return for Third "Insidious" Film


While Insidious and Insidious Chapter 2 were commercial hits, I never really saw the appeal.  The first one is decent, but nothing Earth shattering when it comes to horror.  Although I haven't seen it, I hear the second film was a rehash of the first.  Critics weren't too kind to the film either.

But Hollywood's never believed Beyonce when she sang, "It ain't about the money, money, money" so of course there is a going to be a third film.  What's not happening is the return of two of the original film's stars.

In an interview by "Screen Rant" with screenwriter Leigh Whannel, the writer reports that Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne will NOT return for the third installment.  Instead the film will focus on a brand new family with similar experiences in order to keep the film from becoming "stale."

Whether or not Wilson and Byrne were explicitly excluded from the sequel, I'm glad to see they aren't returning.  Both are too good of actors to keep doing the same thing over and over again.  Plus with Wilson landing a significant part in Ant-Man, I'm sure he's not too worried.

Insidious Chapter 3 releases April 3rd of next year.
