The rumored list of directors Paramount has in line to succeed Oren Peli as the director of "Paranormal Activity 2" includes Brian De Palma, Brad Anderson and Greg McLean, but one of the first movie's stars, Micah Sloat, won't tell if he knows which one has the best shot.
"Paranormal Activity" earned Peli a nomination for Best First Feature on Friday night (March 5) at the Independent Spirit Awards, but Sloat offered a vote of confidence that whomever receives the franchise next will be up to the task.
"I know a lot I can't tell you," Sloat told MTV News. "It's really interesting — the whole director drama with the 'Saw [VI]' director [Kevin Greutert]. That's been public."
Greutert had the green light...

The fate of the new Spider-Man movie's story and the coveted role of Peter Parker remain closely guarded subjects.
New director Marc Webb, who took home a Best Screenplay award for "(500) Days of Summer" Friday night at the Independent Spirit Awards, wouldn't reveal any secrets on the red carpet, but he did say that he's open to different possibilities as he looks for a lead actor. He's had "cool conversations" with "(500) Days" star Joseph Gordon-Levitt about the character and communicated with "Avatar" director James Cameron about filming "Spider-Man" in 3-D. And though he wants to hear more from Cameron, Webb won't commit to Levitt or any other face to put under the mask at the moment.
"We're casting a wide net," Webb told MTV News.

By most accounts, "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" seem likely to dominate the Oscars on Sunday — but after a clean sweep of its five nominations at the Independent Spirit Awards on Friday (March 5), perhaps things are looking a bit more "Precious."
The wrenching, heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting drama "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," was a juggernaut at the Film Independent Spirit Awards held in downtown Los Angeles. Other big winners included "Crazy Heart," Woody Harrelson, "A Serious Man" and even the quirky, endearing documentary "Anvil! The Story of Anvil!"
