From Lights Out Director David F. Sandberg, comes the next film in The Conjuring franchise, Annabelle: Creation. And today, we have the second trailer.

The Crooked Man Is Coming – Film Greenlit By New Line Cinema

“There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house.” As a kid you may have heard the nursery rhyme about the Crooked Man. The rhyme was made frightening in The Conjuring 2 when the entity came to life. The fact that the Crooked Man was NOT CG is even more incredible (you can find out more here). Javier Botet’s portrayal of the long-limbed entity, with a grin made of pointed teeth, was absolutely terrifying. Back in May we reported that the latest spin-off of The Conjuring franchise, based on the Crooked Man, was in the works. Now, we can tell that the film has officially gotten the go-ahead for production to begin, THR says. New Line Cinema has tapped Mike Van Waes to pen the screenplay, based on James

‘The Conjuring 3’ Will Be Very Different From Its Predecessors

The Conjuring franchise is quickly becoming one of the biggest franchises in the genre. The number of spin-offs keeps multiplying including Annabelle and Annabelle 2: Creation, The Nun which has entered production, and a possible Crooked Man film in the works. Now, The Conjuring is getting a third film. During an interview with CinemaBlend, producer Peter Safran talks about the next installment that will continue to explore the supernatural and paranormal investigations by Ed and Loraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, and how The Conjuring 3 will be very different from its predecessors. There are some [cases] that maybe aren’t as well known, but they spent a fair bit of time researching and were part of [them]. Clearly, we can’t do another haunted house movie, right? We can’t do another supernatural possession in a house, with a family in peril. Right? So, it’s got to be something different than that, I think. There are a lot of

James Wan To Direct The First Film In The RESIDENT EVIL Franchise Reboot

A few days we informed you that just as Resident Evil: the Final Chapter was released on DVD, a reboot of the franchise is already in the works. Today, we have a update. News has come that genre heavy-hitter James Wan will be in the director’s chair for the first film of six that is planned. Wan is behind films such as The Conjuring, Insidious, Saw, and Annabelle. While the thought of another reboot doesn’t thrill me, I am a huge fan of Wan. Could he improve the story? Yes, probably, but I’m just not sure that horror fans really want to see six new Resident Evil films. Not to mention, fans have grown to know and love the main character Alice (Milla Jovovich) are they really interested in seeing someone else play the role or see a different character all together? Jovovich had this to say when asked for her opinion on the reboots by ComicBook.com: They’ve announced a
