James Wan’s The Conjuring was a box office hit and it is one of my favorites, so I am excited to see that the sequel begins filming today and just to be on the safe side, a priest came to bless the set!
Production on James Wan’s horror sequel is officially underway today as the director announced via social media that The Conjuring 2 filming has begun!
Unlike the recent spinoff film, Annabelle (which explored the back story of The Conjuring‘s terrifying doll), The Conjuring 2 will continue the based-on-truth adventures of Ed and Lorraine Warren, whose cases have also inspired the likes of The Haunting in Connecticut and most notably, The Amityville Horror. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are returning as the real life paranormal investigators with Frances O’Connor set to play the part of a desperate mother whose daughter is experiencing a haunting.
The Conjuring 2 features a screenplay by Chad and Carey Hayes who penned the first film along with House of Wax and The Reaping. James Wan (Saw, Insidious, Furious 7) will return to direct.
The Conjuring 2 is set for release on June 10, 2016 with production slated to begin later this month.
