The Conjuring: Last Rites won't be the final visit to that universe after all. Granted, nobody thought it would be, but today Variety reports that a prequel film is starting to come together. Rodrigue Huart is in talks to direct, with writers Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg writing the screenplay. They have previously explored this universe, writing the scripts for The Nun II and Last Rites. It looks like, since this is a prequel, they will not have to worry about going back on Last Rites being the finale for Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Ed and Lorraine Warren, either. The Conjuring Universe of films have combined to gross over $2.7 billion, with Last Rites releasing this past September and making just under $500 million alone.
The Conjuring Was Never Going To End
The Conjuring: Last Rites delivers another thrilling chapter of the iconic Conjuring cinematic universe, based on real events. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reunite for one last case as renowned, real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in a powerful and spine-chilling addition to the global box office-breaking franchise. Farmiga and Wilson star alongside Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy, who portray Ed and Lorraine's daughter Judy Warren and her boyfriend, Tony Spera, as well as Steve Coulter returning as Father Gordon, Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton and Shannon Kook. Chaves directs from a screenplay by Ian Goldberg & Richard Naing and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, story by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick & James Wan, based on characters created by Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes. The executive producers are Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Hans Ritter, David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, Natalia Safran, John Rickard and Michael Chaves.
I don't think a single person thought for a split second that Last Rites would be the last time we saw The Warrens on the big screen. The only question now will be who could play a young Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson?
