You wouldn’t think a blockbuster director like Christopher Nolan (the Dark Knight trilogy) would have anything to do with a slasher movie, even if it’s a franchise as revered in horror circles as Friday the 13th — and in the most basic sense, you’d be right. But if a scoop by The Hollywood Reporter…

Aww yeeaah, it's about to get insidious up in here. It doesn't open for another three months, but now we have our first good look at Insidious: Chapter 2, and it's looking pretty good. The trailer continues in the original's creepy vibe, as it promises to answer questions left dangling the first time around. If you get tired of watching the video on a loop, you can check out stills from the movie. Insidious: Chapter 2 hits theaters on September 13 (a Friday, of course).

It was touch and go for a while, but NBC has renewed its serial killer drama Hannibal, a re-imagining of the characters from Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon. Its ratings haven’t been stunning, but they’re a definite improvement on the network’s consistently dismal performance during the 10 PM Thursday night slot — in the past year or so, it’s hosted four now-defunct shows: Prime Suspect, The Firm, Awake and Do No Harm — as NBC is still struggling to fill the void left by ER in 2009. Like the first season, Hannibal‘s second season will consist of 13 episodes airing during midseason (i.e., early 2014).
