Things have picked pace for the pre-production for Insidious 3 and with a few things in place the spoilers and a few hints at what fans can expect from the third in the indie horror franchise have been surfacing.

Insidious 3 To Be 'Special,' 'Like A 'Specter Of The Further'?

Here's a round up of all Enstars knows so far.

First off there will be a few big changes this time around. The first two films in the Insidious franchise were helmed by the writer-director team of Leigh Whannell and James Wan. But for Insidious 3 Whannell will be taking complete control, he will be writing and directing the film. The other major change has to do with casting, as an all-new star cast -- save Lin Shaye, who played Elise in the first two films -- has been lined up. Dermot Mulroney and Stefanie Scott will be leading Insidious 3.

New Ghoulish Still From Insidious: Chapter 3 Revealed?

Now come the juicy bits about the plot. Whannell revealed that third film will not be based around the Lambert family. But that does not mean that this sequel will be completely disconnected from the first two films, as the writer also added that this one will be "a lot more like part one than part two."

Wan, who is currently directing Fast and Furious 7, has given his blessings to the project and even stated via Twitter that the third film will be better than the first two under Whannell's direction.

Whannell also suggested the cliffhanger in the second movie will be addressed in the third chapter.

Insidious: Chapter 2 was released on Sept. 13 and topped the U.S. box office scoring $41.1 million over in its opening weekend. The film stars Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Ty Simpkins, and Barbara Hershey reprised their roles from the first film in the series.

The first film followed the story of the haunted Lambert family, whose son inexiplicably enters a comatose state and becomes a vessel for demons. In Insidious: Chapter 2, the married couple try to explore the secrets that tie them to the paranormal world and the demons that possessed their son.

Entertainment One, FilmDistrict, and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions will be developing the third chapter of the micro-budgeted franchise. Jason Blum (Blumhouse Productions) will be co-producing the third film with Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity). Steven Schneider, Brian Kavanaugh Jones, Peter Schlessel, Lia Buman and Xavier Marchand will come on board as executive producers.

The first installment in the franchise, Insidious, was made for only $1.5 million and released in 2010. The film went on to gross $97 million worldwide. Insidious: Chapter 2 was made for $5 million.

Insidious 3 will hit theaters on April 3, 2015.
