‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It’: ‘Se7en’ Was a Reference Point for Fresh Sequel [Video Featurette]
Third Conjuring takes the Warrens out of a haunted house and onto a new journey…
It’s rare when a sequel is as good, if not better than its predecessor, which is what makes The Conjuring films such a treasure. With the third in the flagship series just weeks away, Warner Bros. has shared a brand new featurette that reveals what makes The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It different from the first two films, outside of James Wan passing the directorial torch to Michael Chaves.
In the video, Wan and Chaves talk about removing the Warrens from the haunted house setting and placing them into a detective story, one that used David Fincher’s Se7en as a reference point.
“You have all of the scares and terror you’d expect from a Conjuring film, but it’s set against this incredible mystery that’s tied into what the Conjuring Universe is all about,” explains Chaves.
“We bust out,” exclaims Vera Farmiga, who returns as Lorraine Warren alongside Patrick Wilson as her husband, Ed.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is headed to both theaters and HBO Max on June 4, 2021.
We’ve also seen the first 11 minutes of the movie. Also, watch this first clip.
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.
