Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson will be reprising their roles as demonologists Lorraine and Ed Warren in The Conjuring 2 directed by James Wan (The Conjuring, Furious 7). New Line Cinema announced filming is officially underway on the horror sequel which will focus on another supernatural case the Warrens investigated.
The cast of The Conjuring 2 also includes Frances O’Connor as a single mom. Madison Wolfe, Lauren Esposito, Patrick McAuley, and Benjamin Haigh are playing her children. Orphan Black‘s Maria Doyle Kennedy, Simon Delaney, Franka Potente, and Simon McBurney are also set to star in the sequel. The original film scored the largest box office opening weekend on record for a horror film. Only The Exorcist earned more than The Conjuring rang up during its $319 million theatrical run.
Wan co-wrote the script with Carey & Chad Hayes, and David Leslie Johnson. Wan’s also producing the film along with Rob Cowan and Peter Safran. New Line’s aiming for a June 10, 2016 release.
The Plot:
“Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.”
