Lin Shaye, a star of the “Insidious” horror franchise, directly appealed to Sony’s CEO after the planned sixth installment, “Insidious 6,” was cancelled due to a behind-the-scenes shift in leadership. Her efforts ultimately contributed to the film’s revival as the now-released “Insidious: Out of the Further.”
Prior to the release of “Insidious: Out of the Further,” a sixth film in the horror series was in development at Sony Pictures. However, a change in the studio’s leadership led to the project being removed from Sony’s production slate.
According to sources, Lin Shaye reacted strongly to the news, exclaiming, “Fuck this.” She then took the unusual step of writing a letter directly to Sony’s CEO, pleading with them to reconsider scrapping the film.
While details of the letter’s contents remain undisclosed, Shaye’s direct appeal appears to have been instrumental in saving the project. The film was ultimately revived and released as “Insidious: Out of the Further,” suggesting Shaye’s intervention played a key role in its production.
