In The Conjuring 2 Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, faced off against the demonic entity referred to as “The Nun”. Now, the spin-off which will tell the demon’s backstory has entered pre-production and the official synopsis revealed.
Much of the cast has now been announced and includes Ingrid Bisu, Demian Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Charlotte Hope, and Bonnie Arrons who will reprise her role as the Nun.
Corin Hardy will be directing from the screenplay written by James Wan and Gary Dauberman. Wan and Peter Safran are producing with Dauberman and Todd Williams serving as executive producers.
In the film, “when a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate. Together they uncover the order’s unholy secret. Risking not only their lives but their faith and their very souls, they confront a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun that first terrorized audiences in The Conjuring 2, as the abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.”
The Nun is set to open in theaters nationwide on Friday the 13th, July 2018.
