James Wan To Return To Direct The Conjuring 2

When he was out promoting The Conjuring in 2013 and preparing to start shooting Fast & Furious 7, James Wan talked about how he was finished with horror films for a while and wanted to focus on other things. But it seems he’s happy to return to at least one of his scare franchises, as the director has made a deal to craft The Conjuring 2.

We guessed when news broke that the horror sequel was being pushed back to 2016 that Wan may have made a deal to return provided he could be given more time to work on other things, such as the extensive tour planned in support of the new Fast outing, which itself had to be delayed to 2015 after the death of Paul Walker.

And Wan hasn’t stepped entirely away from the terror genre that helped make his career: he produced this year’s Conjuring spin-off Annabelle, and his new deal includes an option to produce and develop sci-fi, horror and comedy films for New Line via his Atomic Monster production company.

No firm details have emerged about the Conjuring sequel, which currently carries the subtitle 'The Enfield Poltergeist'. From the sounds of that, it’ll see Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga back as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who spent time investigating Blighty’s spooks during their long career.
