‘The Conjuring 3’ Will Be A “Different Beast”

The Conjuring universe is quickly becoming one of the largest the horror franchises we’ve ever seen and there’s no sign of it slowing. The original James Wan-directed film gave way to one sequel already, plus the Annabelle trilogy, The Nun, The Curse of La Llorona, and now, The Conjuring 3. In The Conjuring 3, Ed and Lorraine Warren will return for a new scare. Patrick Wilson, who stars as Ed, shed some light on the sequel recently during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The process [of making Conjuring 3] was fantastic, and it’s a much different feel,” Wilson stated. “It’s still the same bones; it’s still very much Ed and Lorraine. Again, we are pushing our characters to places they haven’t gone, but the film will be a really nice addition because it’s definitely a different beast. Pun intended.” The Conjuring 3 began production this past June in Atlanta with Michael Chaves (The Curse of La Llorona) in the

‘The Conjuring 2’ Actor Offers An Update For ‘The Crooked Man’

The Conjuring universe continues to expand. The latest spin-off is from The Conjuring 2, The Crooked Man. The spin-off was first announced back in 2017, but thing have been quiet since. Actor Javier Botet has now offered an update during an interview with Daily Dead. Since the first time I met the producers when we were shooting Conjuring 2, they spoke to me, they told me that the intention was to make a spinoff. So I said, ‘Okay, let’s make Conjuring 2 first and then we will play it by ear.’ Botet continued, “But I love the character. It’s amazing, beautiful. So it’s a pity to see only a little, little part in The Conjuring 2. I’m so excited and I want to make a Crooked Man spinoff. But I know the same that everybody knows. They wrote the screenplay and they are waiting at the moment. They want to do it, but we don’t have a schedule. We don’t

Annabelle Comes Home soon opening in theaters, The Conjuring 3 is in production, The Crooked Man is likely on his way, and now word has come that The Nun 2 is already in the works.

Conjuring Universe producer Peter Safran teased the sequel during a recent interview with EW. “I think there is an inevitability to another Nun movie,” Safran just told EW. “We have a really fun storyline for that teed up, so I think that’s the next one that will be written.” We first met the nun, a demon called Valek, in James Wan’s The Conjuring 2 where Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) went head to head with the entity while trying to save a family plagued by supernatural activity.
