ANNABELLE

The third Annabelle comes full circle, it was revealed at last night’s ScareDiego event at the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con.

You see, the first film was a spinoff from James Wan’s The Conjuring and introduced the doll as one of the many haunts preserved in the Warren Museum.  The two Annabelle films worked themselves backward, while it’s now been confirmed by our on-site reporter (Rafael Motamayor) that the third will take place present day and return to the famous mantle that’s locked away at the Warren’s. Gary Dauberman is writing and directing the sequel, which is described as “Night at the Museum, but with demons,” as Annabelle activates everything in the Warren Museum and terrorizes their daughter.

As previously reported, Dauberman is the writer behind the first Conjuring spinoff, Annabelle, and its prequel Annabelle: Creation. He also worked on It, New Line’s smash hit adaptation of the Stephen King novel, and is working on the follow-up, It: Chapter 2. Among other projects, he is also writing and producing a big-screen take of the horror anthology series Are You Afraid of the Dark for Paramount.

John R. Leonetti directed the first movie, initially a spin-off from Conjuring, while David F. Sandberg, who is now helming Shazam!, directed the prequel, Annabelle: Creation. After the prequel was a hit, it was apparent that New Line had another franchise on its hands.

The new Annabelle installment is on the fast track for New Line, which has set the film’s release for July 3, 2019.

To recap, the Universe so far contains:

  • The Conjuring (2013)
  • The Conjuring 2 (2016)
  • Annabelle (2014)
  • Annabelle: Creation (2017)
  • The Nun (2018)

New ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Movie in the Works from Director Lindsey Anderson Beer

Sleepy Hollow movie

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.
