Brace yourselves horror fans, becauseThe Conjuring 3is going to be massive. A great many studios have tried to emulate what Marvel has done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but few have succeeded. Warner Bros., surprisingly not as much with the DC universe up until more recently, has one of few cinematic universes in Hollywood that’s actually working with the Conjuring universe movies. Now, Vera Farmiga has teased that the next main entry in the franchise is going to be big.
While certain entries in this series likeThe Nunhaven’t hit with critics, they’ve all done very well at the box office. Next up isAnnabelle Comes Homethis summer, which sees Patrick Wilson andVera Farmigareturn as Ed and Lorraine Warren for the first time in a spin-off outside of the main series. But they’re both getting ready forThe Conjuring 3and, as Farmiga explains it, their work in the spin-off was like prep work to get them ready for what’s coming. Here’s what she had to say about it.
“Conjuring 3 is coming, and it will be a doozy. It will be big. So for me, visiting these characters [in Annabelle Comes Home], it’s like practicing your scales and doing a few arpeggios before having to dive deep into the next one. Because the next one is massive.”
At this point, not much has been revealed about the next main entry. Butproducer James Wan, who directed The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, has said the story will center on a man who was on trial for committing a murder which, to the best of his knowledge, is the first time in American history that a defendant used possessions as reasoning for his crime. It’s based on actual case files from the Warrens, as have the other main entries in the series. Vera Farmiga also talked a bit about her love for the character ofLorraine Warrenand why she feels the relationship between her character and Ed Warren is worth exploring in modern society.
“I do love playing this character, I really do. I do. This is a woman who is living her potential. To be honest with you, in this climate of dissension and rancor and division, I love exhibiting their unity and their closeness and their togetherness. It’s something special for me.”
