We had the opportunity to interview Christopher Landon about The Marked Ones and talk about the franchise’s extensive mythology, the spin-off’s genesis, the place the film holds within the mythology and the importance to separate The Marked Ones from the previous entries in the series. However, it was not until the fifth film, the Latino community-centered Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (currently playing in theatres) that he took over the directorial duties as well, making it his second feature film as a director (after Burning Palms). He has joined the franchise’s creative team on the second film and has written every sequel of the franchise so far ( Paranormal Activity 5 will be the first sequel written without his direct involvement). However, Landon is now most known for his extensive work on the Paranormal-Activity-franchise. Christopher Landon’s big break in Hollywood came 2007 with his screenplay for Disturbia, a successful re-imagining of Hitchcock’s Rear Window set in suburbia and starring Shia LaBeouf.
