Madison Iseman Will Be a Babysitter in Peril in Upcoming ‘Annabelle 3’
Mckenna Grace, who can next be seen in Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House,” has been cast as one of the leads in New Line Cinema’s third Annabelle, we learned over the weekend, and THR updates on the project today with the news that Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star Madison Iseman will co-star.
Grace will play Judy, the Warrens’ young daughter who becomes a target of the demonic doll, Annabelle. Iseman will be playing Judy’s babysitter.
The third installment in the lucrative New Line horror franchise is gearing up to shoot next month with additional casting coming together now. The project remains untitled.
Gary Dauberman, known for his scripts for It: Chapter 1 and 2 and The Nun, wrote the screenplay and will make his directorial debut. Horror supremos James Wan (for Atomic Monster) and Peter Safran (for The Safran Company) are producing. Michael Clear is executive producer.
During Comic-Con’s ScareDiego event, Dauberman said of the latest Annabelle installment, “It really picks up with the Warrens bringing Annabelle to the place where it can really no longer wreak havoc, which is their artifact room. But, of course, it turns out she can also wreak havoc there.”
“It’s basically Night at the Museum with Annabelle!” added Wan at the time.
Annabelle 3 comes alive on July 3, 2019.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
