According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount has penciled in the horror for an October 22 release, pitting it against the latest Saw movie at the box office this Halloween.
Original Paranormal director Oren Peli will produce the follow-up alongside Jason Blum and Steven Schneider, while Michael R. Perry has been commissioned to write the script.
"These guys get it, and the fans won't be disappointed," said Peli of the new creative team.
Paranormal Activity grossed more than $150 million at the worldwide box office last year on a budget of just $15,000, making it the most profitable film in Paramount's history.
