The Hollywood Reporter brings word that actor Demian Bichir (The Hateful Eight, Weeds) has signed on to star in the upcoming The Conjuring spin-off The Nun.
The Nun is the second spin-off to come from The Conjuring series, following in the footsteps of Annabelle, which will see its prequel film Annabelle: Creation hit theaters August 11, 2017.
What makes this spin-off perhaps so remarkable is that The Nun character was a late addition to last year’s The Conjuring 2 but was quickly a favorite by horror fans and was announced to have her own feature film in development just one week after The Conjuring 2 opened.
The Conjuring films and Annabelle have already earned a combined $895 million worldwide with a combined budget of just $66.5 million across the three films.
