Meet ‘The Conjuring’s’ Real Lorraine Warren, and Her Occult Museum!
I highly recommend picking up (or downloading) this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly as it features an extraordinarily cool exclusive look inside the world of Lorraine Warren, the real-life inspiration behind Warner Bros.’ The Conjuring, in theaters July 19 from director James Wan.
With some extreme spoiler warnings attached to this article, and its included images, there’s stunning photography that show what the real Lorraine Warren looks like today, alongside her haunted “Occult Museum”, which is featured in Wan’s movie. Vera Farmiga plays Warren in the film, alongisde Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor, Joey King, Shanley Caswell, Haley McFarland, Mackenzie Foy, Kyla Deaver and Sterling Jerins.
In yet another spoiler warning, one of the coolest images is of a possessed “Annabelle doll,” which is a featured component in this summer’s blockbuster haunter that tells the horrifying tale of how world-renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.
I think a new goal in my life is to visit the museum…
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
