The Conjuring spinoff receives a release date

We now have an answer for what the unannounced Warner Bros. horror title will be for 2014. The date now belongs to The Conjuring spinoff, Annabelle. The spinoff is set to hit theaters on October 3rd, over a year prior to the planned sequel to The Conjuring which is set for October 23, 2015.

John R. Leonetti served as director for Annabelle with The Conjuring director James Wan on as a producer. There is no plot announced for this film, but I am sure we will get a trailer for it before too long. It is already July.

The Conjuring spin-off moving forward

We got news a couple months back that after the major success of The Conjuring, New Line Cinema announced their intent to move forward with three spin-offs. The main one mentioned was a spin-off about the Annabelle doll. We now have official confirmation that New Line is moving forward with the Annabelle spin-off and it's assumed it will focus on the origins of the doll's possession before the Warrens obtained the object.

Annabelle Wallis and Ward Horton will lead the low-budget film and it will be directed by John Leonetti. Leonetti served as the main cinematographer for The Conjuring. James Wan, who directed The Conjuring, will serve as an executive producer.

The Conjuring comes with a warning

I saw this on Twitter earlier. Check out my review of The Conjuring here.


The Conjuring is James Wan's newest horror film and stars Lili Taylor, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Ron Livingston based on the true story of the Perron family. It starts this Friday, July 19th.

The Conjuring sequel and franchise in development

Just when you think you can have nice things, leave it to Hollywood to rain on your parade.

New Line Cinema has made a point to mention their plans to make more films based off the Warrens, the paranormal investigators in which The Conjuring revolves around. You have seen other movies already based off their cases including The Amityville Horror (1979 & 2005) and The Haunting in Connecticut (2009). Whether this exploration will involve a direct sequel to The Conjuring or will just explore the other cases Lorraine and Ed Warren investigated is still unclear, but they obviously don't want to pass up this opportunity.
It also must be said that it's unlikely James Wan would return to direct another film of this nature. He recently won the director's chair for Fast and Furious 7 and has mentioned his desire to expand beyond the horror genre and direct different types of movies. You have probably seen Wan's work already as he directed Saw, Insidious, Dead Silence, and Insidious: Chapter Two (out September 13th).

However, this all obviously depends on how The Conjuring does at the box office. So far the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive and New Line is expecting a solid release. All I have to say if it actually scares me I am a fan. I don't know how on board I would be with sequels without Wan, though.

The Conjuring tells the true story of the Perron family's experience with the paranormal in their Rhode Island farmhouse. It comes out this Friday, July 19th
