If you’re a true horror fan then you will recognize the name of Leigh Whannell, the writer-director-actor who co-created the Saw franchise, the Insidious franchise and the films Cooties, Upgrade, and most recently directed The Invisible Man. Whannell has just signed an over deal with Blumhouse for the next two years projects, some films, some series. The deal will require Whannell to write, direct, and produce, Deadline is reporting. Jason Blum, Blumhouse CEO and founder, praised Whannell. “Leigh creates movies which not only build franchises but fundamentally change the landscape of their genre. After he and James Wan made Saw, it launched dozens of copycats. Their work with Blumhouse on Insidious founded not just a franchise but dozens of classical proscenium PG-13 supernatural horror films. I have no doubt that will be true for The Invisible Man and for anything else he wants to create. I just want to be there with him when he does!” Whannell had this to
