‘Hell Fest’ Writer Akela Cooper is Scripting the Sequel to ‘The Nun’
Last year’s Corin Hardy-directed The Nun was a box office smash hit – to date, it’s the highest grossing film in the entire Conjuring Universe – so it’s no big surprise that a sequel is in the works. Via Deadline tonight, we’ve learned that Akela Cooper (“Luke Cage,” “Grimm,” “American Horror Story,” Hell Fest) has been tapped to write the continuing adventures of Valak.
Producer Peter Safran just told Entertainment Weekly the other day, “We have a really fun storyline for that teed up, so I think that’s the next one that will be written.”
Safran and James Wan will produce the sequel.
Bonnie Aarons played the title character in The Conjuring 2 and The Nun.
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
