The Conjuring Universe shows no sign of heading into a black hole any time soon. In fact, The Nun is killing it at theaters, bringing in over $50 million on its opening night last week. But the demonic nun, Valak, is not the only evil entity of the franchise that’s alive and well. That creepy little doll Annabelle is on her way back for another frightening flick.
Gary Dauberman, who penned the screenplays for the first two Annabelle movies and The Nun will not only be writing Annabelle 3 but directing as well for the first time.
“[Annabelle 3 is] going to go before cameras mid-October so I’m deep in prep on that now. We’re bringing the franchise back home after being so far away in Romania. It’s set in the Warrens’ house. It’s what happens when Annabelle comes into the artifact room. Much like Swamp Thing, what happens when Annabelle comes into the artifact room and how she affects her environment.” Dauberman told /Films.
Will Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will be reprising their roles as demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren?
“That is a great question and we’ll have to wait and see.”
We’ll let you know when we know more, in the meantime, go see The Nun now in theaters nationwide.
