Looks like Paramount’s Paranormal Activity 4, 5, and 6, headed for big screen

Paranormal Activity 3

Paranormal Activity 3

With the massive success of the Paranormal Activity franchise, it’s no surprise that Paramount is eyeing at least three more films in the supernatural horror film series.

While it could be nothing more than defensive domain registrations, this week, Paramount has gone out and registered several names like Paranormalmovie4.com, Paranormalmovie5.com, and Paranormalmovie6.com.

The list of newly registered domain names includes:

paranormalactivity5movie.com
paranormalactivity6movie.com
paranormalmovie4.com
paranormalmovie5.com
paranormalmovie6.com

Although the owner of the names remains hidden behind WHOIS privacy, all of the web addresses were registered through MarkMonitor, well-reputed for its internet brand protection services provided to companies like Google. 

Paramount Pictures already registered paranormalactivity4movie.com through MarkMonitor in early December 2010.

Though Paramount Pictures hasn’t officially confirmed a Paranormal Activity 4, 5, or 6, considering the films have been one of the best investments in movie studio history, you can guarantee Paramount is already thinking forward to October 2012.

Del Toro’s monster movie will be called ‘Still Seas’, according to domain names

Guillermo del Toro

Director Guillermo del Toro will begin shooting his monsters versus mechas movie for Warner Bros at the end of this month at the Pinewood Toronto Studios.

Excepted to be titled either “Pacific Rim” or “Still Seas”, it looks like an official name may have finally been decided: Still Seas.

On October 25, it appears Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. has registered three domain names for the movie including Still-Seas-movie.com, StillSeasmovie.com, and StillSeasthemovie.com.  

Although the owner’s name is hidden, the names are registered to DNstination Inc., the Whois privacy service provided by well-known internet brand protection company MarkMonitor, where the domain WarnerBros.com itself is registered.

Warner Bros. did register Pacific Rim domain names earlier in March like PacificRimmovie.com and PacificRimthemovie.com, also with MarkMonitor, however neither domain resolves to a web page.

It’s possible the StillSeas domains are nothing more than defensive registrations, but considering the purchases coincide with the shooting of the film, an official announcement may be released any day now.

Here’s a look at the WHOIS record for StillSeasMovie.com.

Assassin’s Creed movie a done deal, according to Sony Pictures’ domains

Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed Movie

Several tech blogs and news site have been buzzing for the last 24 hours since Variety broke the news that Sony Pictures was in the final negotations to develop a film franchise based on Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed” videogame series.

While the deal hasn’t been officially confirmed by Sony or Ubisoft, that didn’t stop Sony Pictures from registering over a dozen “Assassin’s Creed” movie domain names such as assassinscreedthefilm.com.

All of the domain names were registered on October 20, a day before the Variety story was published.

Here’s a look at the full list of domain names:

assassins-creed-movie.com
assassins-creed.net
assassins-creedmovie.com
assassinscreed-film.com
assassinscreed-film.net
assassinscreed-movie.com
assassinscreed-movie.net
assassinscreed-thefilm.com
assassinscreed-thefilm.net
assassinscreed-themovie.com
assassinscreed-themovie.net
assassinscreedfilm.com
assassinscreedfilm.net
assassinscreedthefilm.com
assassinscreedthefilm.net
assassinscreedthemovie.net

Although the domains were registered before either company has even announced a partnership, Sony Pictures must have been pretty confident that the deal was certain. 

That, or the deal was already done.

Sony Pictures to produce John Burdett crime novels? 29 domains registered

John Burdett

It looks as if Sony Pictures has struck a deal with British crime novelist John Burdett to produce as many as four films including Bangkok Tattoo, Bangkok Haunts, The Godfather of Kathmandu, and his next novel set to be released in 2012 in the UK, Vulture Peak.

Sony Pictures registered nearly three dozen domain names this past Friday, like BangkokHauntsmovie.com, TheGodfatherofKathmandu.com, BangkokTattoomovie.com, and VulturePeakmovie.com.

Bangkok 8, the first book in the murder mystery series, was optioned by Millennium Films back in 2007, but filming was apparently cancelled.

While the domain registrations are certainly an indication of upcoming plans, as of yet, neither Sony Picture nor John Burdett have officially announced a partnership.

I’ve reached out to John Burdett for comment on this story through his web site at John-Burdett.com, and will update this post if I hear back.

Here’s a look at the full list of domain registrations.
