Cast

Production

On September 15, 2013, a third installment was announced with Leigh Whannell signed on to return as writer while Jason Blum and Oren Peli are also set to produce.[4] When asked about returning for another sequel, actor Patrick Wilson went on to say that he "[doesn't] know where else it could go", and that "[Josh Lambert has] been through the wringer, and I think the movie sets it up well at the end [...] And that's great, that's how it should end."[5] On November 13, 2013, it was announced Focus Features and Stage 6 Films would release the film on May 29, 2015.[6][7]

On March 11, 2014, Screen Rant reported that the third film won't focus on the Lambert family, but will focus on a new family and story, and won't connect to the last scene in the second film and both Whannell and Angus Sampson will return as ghost hunters Specs and Tucker along with Lin Shaye as Elise.[8] On May 7, 2014, Wan tweeted that Whannell will be directing the third film, which will mark his directorial debut.[9] In June 2014, Stefanie Scott and Dermot Mulroney were cast in the film.[10][11] On September 22, 2014, during the Cinema Diverse Film Festival in Palm Springs, actress Ele Keats said she had recently wrapped an undisclosed supporting role in the film.[12]

Filming

Principal photography began on July 9, 2014[13] in Los Angeles under the title "Into The Further", on a scheduled 29 day shoot.[14] Several scenes were shot in the San Fernando Valley at the Delfino Studios in Sylmar, where the Brenners apartment's interiors were built.[15]

A first look image was released on July 22, 2014.[16] Filming wrapped on August 18, 2014.[17]

Marketing and promotion

A first teaser poster was released on line on September 18, 2014, featuring a grey wall with a vent and the red text "The man who can't breathe, the man who lives in the vent, I heard him saying your name last night, I heard him on your room while you were gone, he's in there right now, standing in your room."[18] The first teaser trailer for the film was released by Focus Features on October 23, 2014.[19] The same day director Leigh Whannell invited fans to join him for a live Q&A session on the movie's official Facebook page.[20] A few days later, on October 28, 2014 the same Facebook page reached 4 million fans.[21] On December 17, 2014 fans were invited to connect with Insidious on Kik Messenger for exclusive content.[22]

On March 16, 2015, Focus Features debuted a teaser for the full official trailer that was eventually released the following day, on March 17, 2015 during a series of launch events in selected cities, including Miami (where lead star Stefanie Scott held a Q&A session), Chicago (with supporting actress Hayley Kiyoko in attendance) and New York City (where Fangoria Magazine hosted a Q&A session with Lin Shaye).[23] A new poster featuring Stefanie Scott was also released the same day.[24] On July 3, 2014 Focus Features moved the already announced US theatrical release date from April 3 to May 29, 2015.[25] On December 10, 2014 the distribution company announced that the theatrical release date had been moved back again from May 29 to June 5, 2015.[26]

At WonderCon 2015 (3-5th April), a teaser clip was screened and was well received by the audience.[27]
