With a trailer set to launch on Thursday, IGN has unveiled six images from the next instalment in The Conjuring Universe, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, featuring Ruairi O’Connor as Arne Johnson, Vera Farmiga as Lorraine Warren, Eugenie Bondurant as The Occulist, and Patrick Wilson as Ed Warren; take a look here…
“This is the darkest Conjuring movie,” states director Michael Chaves. “It digs into some really dark material. This is definitely a case where there’s real consequence, there’s real victims. This is really taking the Warrens into uncharted places. Being a fan of the franchise, I was honestly really nervous at first breaking with convention, breaking with a lot of things that are tradition, but I think that what we’ve done is really woven the language and the things that you do want from a Conjuring film – the scares, the Warrens, their relationship – [and [pushed them] to the limits in this really fresh and exciting new direction.”
“One of the things that [series creator] James [Wan] and I connected on while making The Curse of La Llorona was sharing a lot of the same favorite movies, and one of them is Se7en,” added Chaves. “We both love that movie, and so when he came to me with this script, he basically was like, ‘It’s Se7en, but in the Conjuring universe.’ And he knew that was like catnip for me.”
