New ‘Annabelle Comes Home’ Trailer Conjures “The Ferryman” and More Evil Entities!
The reason James Wan’s The Conjuring was able to spin off into several different in-universe franchises was by the introduction of the Warren Family Museum, which harbors all kinds of haunted artifacts, including the elusive Annabelle doll.
With the third Annabelle film, Annabelle Comes Home, the action returns to said museum in order for the filmmakers to unlock even more potential. We’ve seen teases of some sort of demonic monkey toy, a samurai, a demonic werewolf, and most notably the promise of “The Bride”. This new trailer zeroes in on a spook called “The Ferryman”, who pulls a bibbidi bobbidi boo within the footage. Is he a centerpiece like that of The Crooked Man in Conjuring 2?
All we know for sure is that this sequel is setting the table for many more spinoffs!
The next film in the Conjuring Universe is headed our way this summer, with Annabelle Comes Home set to unleash every evil entity that had been locked up in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s museum of haunted artifacts. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga will star in the Gary Dauberman-directed film, the first time they’ve played Ed and Lorraine in a Conjuring spinoff. Mckenna Grace and Madison Iseman also star.
The sixth title in The Conjuring franchise picks up with the Warrens bringing the Annabelle doll to a place where she can no longer wreak havoc: their Artifacts Room. Annabelle awakens the room’s evil which sets its sights on a new target: the Warrens’ ten-year-old daughter Judy.
Last year, Dauberman said of the next 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 producer James Wan at the time.
Annabelle Comes Home on Wednesday, June 26.
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.
