Patrick Wilson Interview: Why Insidious The Red Door for His Directorial Debut?
94Patrick Wilson has a wealth of experience in front of the lens, including a couple of very successful horror franchises, but the new Insidious movie will mark a significant first for him — Insidious: The Red Door is his feature directorial debut.
Wilson starred in the first two films of the franchise as Josh Lambert, a father of three who unknowingly passes his ability to astral project and reach a plain called “The Further” to his eldest, Dalton played by Ty Simpkins. At the end of Insidious: Chapter 2, Josh and Dalton’s memories are suppressed in an effort to keep both of them free and clear of potential contact with sinister entities in The Further. But, when Dalton heads off to college in The Red Door, that protection starts to dwindle, challenging both of them to go head-to-head with forces of evil they can’t even remember.
In celebration of Insidious: The Red Door’s nationwide release on July 7th, I got the chance to chat with Wilson about his choice to make his directorial debut an Insidious movie rather than a Conjuring movie and talk about his approach to making a film that aligned with the previously established style of the franchise while also making The Red Door feel uniquely his own. Check it all out in this Insidious: The Red Door interview!
