Warner Bros. PicturesThe Conjuring 3 has been announced, along with a new director.
The news comes following the success of the first two Conjuring films and spin-
offs The Nun, Annabelle, and Annabelle Creation.
But director James Wan is going to be taking a step away from director’s chair for The Conjuring 3.
Michael Chaves will be taking over the hot seat, but fans need not worry as he’s worked with Wan on the horror The Curse Of La Llorona, which they produced together.
In a statement, Wan said:
While working closely with Chaves on The Curse of La Llorona, I got to know him as a filmmaker.
Chaves’ ability to bring emotion to a story, and his understanding of mood and scares, make him a perfect fit to direct the next Conjuring film.
I’m excited to be back as producer and continue with Vera and Patrick on the next supernatural adventure of the Warrens.
I'm sure I'll be singing Chaves' praises when Conjuring 3 comes out and he kills it, but definitely loved the idea of Wan directing the Conjuring films and hand-selected up and comers directing the spinoffs. Gave the core movies a feeling of prestige that is kinda lost w/o Wan? https://t.co/23YDlo8zif— John Squires (@FreddyInSpace) October 4, 2018
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he said:
I am a huge fan of the Conjuring films.Made for just $20 million, The Conjuring became a hit when it was released in 2013, racking up almost $320 million worldwide.
The movies are the rare combination that delivers both tremendous heart and awesome scares.
It is both a total thrill and absolute honour to be working with James and the gang at New Line again.
The latest movie in the franchise was September’s The Nun, which became the ‘most successful outing so far, earning $334.8 million to date’.
While opinions are mixed with the new director at centre stage, I’m sure it’ll be a good watch.
