Leigh Whannell is one of the film franchises mainstays, and a long time collaborator with James Wan. After their work together on Saw and Dead Silence, they combined their talents once more in making Insidious.

Though Wan and Whannell created Saw, Whannell only wrote 3 of the long running franchises 8 films, which is unfortunate considering where it ended up. Thankfully for Insidious fans, Leigh Whannell stuck around to write the screenplays for all four films in the Insidious franchise so far.

Though he looks to be moving on to bigger things, one can only hope he finds the time to scribe any future instalments. However, after writing and starring in each of the films, and directing third film, chances are he's moving on.

Avid writer of nonsense. Can often be seen in his natural habitat watching far too many films and not enough TV. Occasionally plays on the Xbox and Megadrive whilst chastising himself for not writing more.
