New Line Already Working On ‘The Conjuring’ Sequel
  |  @   |  

James Wan‘s The Conjuring, which opens this weekend, is based on one of Ed and Lorianne Warren’s case files. If their names don’t ring a bell, then you might have watched a movie based on one of their previous cases: The Amityville Horror or The Haunting In Connecticut. I caught an advanced screening of the film during the LA Film Festival and have nothing but nice things to say about it.

So it comes as no surprise that all that positive word of mouth has convinced Warner Brothers to move forward with a sequel.

Hit the jump for more.

‘The Conjuring’ Trailer: Clingy Spirit Would Love To Consume Souls
  |  @   |  

The first trailer for The Conjuring focused on a family off to a brand new start by settling in a new home. Trouble is the home was possessed by unkind spirits who weren’t too keen on playing hide and go seek. Now a new trailer for the James Wan‘s latest directorial effort centers on the real life paranormal activity investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren (played by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) and the unholy spirit that seeks to terrify the family and the Warrens.

Once again, Wan chooses to do away with the scares that overemphasize the blood and gore by focusing his frightful attention on the suspense aspect. The shrieks, off-angled appearances by the spirit, and other terrors in this new trailer are just the tip of this scary iceberg. The taglines and the music signify that there is something deeper and more terrifying than WB is actually letting on.

Check out the new trailer for The Conjuring below now.

WonderCon 2013: James Wan’s ‘The Conjuring’ Panel
  |  @   |  

At WonderCon 2013 in Anaheim, CA, the panel for The Conjuring kicked off with a clip featuring Lili Taylor as a mom playing blindfolded hide and seek with her daughter, trying to find her just by listening to her claps, when she hears claps coming from something in the wardrobe that only the audience realizes isn’t her daughter. Later that evening, she hears the phantom claps again and she goes to investigate. The claps lead her down to her cellar. As she’s walking downstairs, the cellar door slams behind her and the lightbulb breaks, leaving her in darkness. As she turns on her flashlight, we see hands behind her in the darkness, issuing an ominous CLAP CLAP!

Director James Wan explained that the film is based on the true story of the haunting of the Perron sisters as documented by Lorraine Warren, a real-life paranormal investigator. Both Ms. Warren and sisters Cindy and Andrea Perron were on the panel.
