According to The Tracking Board, New Line Cinema has tapped screenwriter Gary Dauberman to pen the script for a sequel to Annabelle, last year’s spinoff to The Conjuring.
The site reports that Annabelle director John Leonetti is unlikely to return to direct the follow-up, although James Wan will once again produce.
Produced for just $6.5 million, Annabelle grossed $246 million around the globe, so it comes as little surprise that New Line is eyeing a second outing for the sinister doll.
In addition to Annabelle 2, New Line also has The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist set for release in June 2016, with Wan directing.
