The Conjuring 4 has taken another step into development by welcoming back franchise favorite director Michael Chaves.
In an exclusive withThe Hollywood Reporter, it has been confirmed that Chaves, who also directedThe Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do ItandThe Nun 2, will direct The Conjuring 4.
As well as Chaves, franchise favorites Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will return once more to play Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Conjuring 4, officially titled The Conjuring: Last Rites, will see the franchise once again follow the ghostly adventures of the paranormal investigators, who we have seen face up to demons, witches, and beldams, all based on real-life exorcism cases covered by the late Warrens.
The Conjuring universe also welcomes back screenwriter David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who co-wrote The Conjuring 3, and creator James Wan who serves as producer with Peter Safran.
Although no plotline has been released at this time, it is expected that Last Rites will be based on yet another Warren case.The first Conjuringflick was inspired by The Perron Family Haunting,The Conjuring 2by the Enfield Poltergeist, and The Devil Made Me Do It was famously inspired bythe 1981 case of Arne Johnsonthat changed American law forever. Some have speculated whether Warren’s most famous case, which went on to inspire horror movie The Haunting in Connecticut, will be next on the slate.
Whatever case the flick is inspired by, one thing is for sure, The Conjuring 4 will be the last movie in the series, as creator Wan toldCollider, “We get it right and to make sure the emotion of the Warren stories that we want to tell, and moving into, and potentially wrapping up, we just want to make sure that it’s the right thing, the right story that we’re telling.”
