One of the biggest horror film franchises of the decade will soon begin filming its third film. I’m of course talking about The Conjuring franchise which became an entire universe.
James Wan won’t be directing The Conjuring 3. Instead, we are left in the capable hands of Michael Chaves who is about to deliver his haunting tale The Curse of La Llorona to theaters this April.
Hand-picked by Wan to direct, Chaves’s Conjuring 3 is said to be connected to the case of Bill Ramsey also known as The Southend Werewolf, which is based on a true story. Ramsey, a husband, and father of three from Essex, England, suddenly began to believe he was possessed by a demon that manifested as a wolf or a werewolf. Ramsey was said to have developed an inhuman strength, he growled, bared his teeth, and that he walked with hunched shoulders. While it hasn’t been confirmed, Wan did mention the possibility of a werewolf based Conjuring back in June of 2016.
Maybe we can go and do it like a classic American Werewolf in London style. That would be awesome! The Warrens set against the backdrop of The Hound of Baskerville.” Wan said.
Either way, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will be reprising their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring 3 and will star along with McKenna Grace (“Haunting of Hill House”) as the Warren’s daughter Judy, Madison Iseman (Goosebumps 2) as Judy’s babysitter, and Katie Sarife (Youth & Consequence) as Iseman’s character’s best friend.
Written by Gary Dauberman (IT), the sequel is set to begin filming on June 3 in Atlanta.
