Sure why not? While you're at it why not a sequel to the Titanic or Saving Private Ryan? There is absolutely no way that any sequal will even have any remote chance of achieving a similar success story. This is one of those types of flms for which you just can't give a sequel for other then by title alone.

Maybe they can have evil ghosts fighting big building sized robots who battle boy band twinkly vampires with lots and lots of explosions, contrived plot lines, and dialogue so bad even George Lucas would upchuck. Why not cash in on all the hype and dumb things down even more?

How could it work? Easy! Make a crappy rip-off of the first movie, completely miss the point, add horrible dialogue and some actual celebs, and bill it as the best horror movie since the first one. Presto! Box office magic, even if it is terrible, the sheep will flock to it. It worked for the Matrix trilogy! For added horror value, have it "directed" by McG.

Ahhh. Congrats America. You ruined the future of movies even further. You just convinced studios that all they need to do is spend hardly any money to produce a movie and just use a clever promotional technique to make it work... "Our team will come up with the right creative and marketing approach"... and that proves my point.
Hooray for movies to get even worse than they already are!

I was bored out of my mind watching this movie, or should I say "home movie" because that was about all it was. I didn't see what the appeal of it was, nor did the 4 other people who watched it with me. I've enjoyed slideshows of other people's vacations more.

Well they found a unique way to tell a story. If they can repeat that formula, with a totally different story, I'll see it. Period. I saw PA twice, it's a great horror film with very good story telling, and a nice subtle arc. Do it again, I'll see it again. Get greedy and screw things up, and no one will care. I guess it's really up to the film makers.

The movie to me was was ok you could say. I like Ghost Hunters on SyFy better. So a sequel, why?

They could continue the story by writing about what happened to Katie. At the end of the movie Katie's whereabouts were unknown. They could easily write a paranormal detective story about finding her. She of course would still be possessed and is on a killing spree.

See this is the typical problem with major studios ,now it becomes all about money.
How about leaving the original alone, a sequel cannot garner the same-level of success.
Originality will be lost...a great movie will be ruined.

This idea worked so well for The Blair Witch Project.

Don't worry people... they won't make a sequel... The movie studio will just wait about 10 years and then "reimage" the movie.

When did the SciFi Wire suddenly get all gangsta hip and start using WFT (What the F~ck) at the start of an article? If SyFy wants to be hip, cool, and trendy, perhaps it should make better movies than Mansquito, et. al. instead of swearing in the headline of an article that non-adults are reading!

How about one where an unsuspecting couple is suckered in by marketing hype to a movie that is neither scary nor good and wishes they could get their $20 back? You could even slap "based on actual events" onto it.

Create the sequel spending 100 million dollars and have th audience vote on it rather than release it. Or better yet, have the audience vote on it by sending it direct to DVD sales. I am sure it will do real well.

i dont like this stupid trend of crappy movies with crappy budget, i want giant block busters.. thats the point of going to a dam movie, not movies by amateurs

WTF = What the Frak for the underage crowd :)

This was a horrible movie that cost $hit to make and made a pot of gold. Of course they are gonna milk it.

There's one born every minute...(well, apparently, there are millions born every minute...)

I KNEW IT!!!

I was more scared, when I saw that judge's head get blown off, by her cell phone in "Law Abiding Citizen"

Sometimes I really, REALLY, REALLY HATE Paramount, even if it gave us Star Trek. (Of course, look what they did with the latest iteration of that venerable series.) But this! I think Hollywood's secret axiom is: "Nothing exceeds like success." I thought that Paranormal Activity was absolutely superb. It's writing, plotting, and acting have a degree of verisimilitude that comes along once in a generation, not to mention being FRIGHTENING AS HELL. So now, of course, those empty suits at Paramount want to capitalize, capitalize, and CAPITALIZE some more on their lucky strike. And we won't get more gold from the vein that procuced Paranormal Activity. No. We will get fool's gold, and tons of acidic dross. Damn them. DAMN them all.

Here is how it could work. (Any one at Paramount please feel free to contact me so I can tell you where to send my check. ) making a direct sequel would be silly. However, if you do the sequel as an episode of "Ghost Hunters" gone wrong. Really wrong.

It could work: Two possible sernarios. One is that you have the possesd girl show up, on a dark country road at night. The Cops take her in, (This is all seen through the cop cam.) Then you could have all sort of things in going on in the prison, both where she is talking to the guards both as herself, and as the demon. You could have a psychologist and a psychic both speaking to her, and through that reveal why the demon took her, and what his plans are. 2nd senario, one simlair to the first is occuring, and the Girl from PA1 is in jail for murder, and she knows that the demon is going to go after these people next and if they don't do something it will be the same for them as it was for her... maybe some combo of the two.

WTF? Paramount mulls a Paranormal Activity sequel.....
This is old news Scifiwire staff. They reported this a little while ago. That and why so surprised? Its common sense a studio would want to take a low budget movie and turn it into a cash cow. Now we must get ready to hear...."If it's Halloween, then that must mean Parnormal Activity...."
WTF? Scifiwire catches on quickly?

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 was much, much, much better then the first film.

I own Book of Shadows on DVD, and need never see the first film ever again.

i hope they make 5 more PA movies just so they drag it on just like the saw movies because everone of those movies after the first were so cool

@Falconer

Actually, Paramount did no such thing. Lucille Ball as head of Desilu is the one responsible. What Paramount gave us was the cashing-in on a fan nutureded STAR TREK market.

Particularly I dont know what they are thinking about, of course, they can do whatever they want. BUT.. seriously?? I read reviews, my friends wanted to see it, I like horror movies and actually went a bit scared of getting scared since I live alone, oh well, I was laughing all the movie, it was a very good comedy in my opinion

@FreakGirl once pondered "...I dont (sic) know what they are thinking about..."

I think they are thinking: "This one movie, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, has turned in $85 million in profits this 4Q besting the $69 million 3Q profit built on the cumulative box office performance of the supposed worldwide blockbusters STAR TREK, TRANSFORMERS 2, & GI JOE, and PA's profit is still growing in a shorter span while only seeing domestic release."

How it could work??

What I'd do is to show it from the perspective of the demon, and display humans as these totally oddball, in turn (to the demon) scary creatures. Not easy, but if you're creative, doable.
