Instead, the trade says that James Wan and Peter Safran are co-producing The Nun, a spinoff centered around the demonic entity that haunted Lorraine Warren (Farmiga) during The Conjuring 2.
What’s most amusing is that James Wan recently admitted that he didn’t have the visual cooked up for The Nun until post-production and reshoots occurred on The Conjuring 2.
During what has so far been a lackluster summer season, James Wan’s The Conjuring 2 is a bona-fide hit.
The trade notes that Conjuring 2 co-writer David Leslie Johnson will handle scripting duties on this spinoff movie.
