The Conjuring prequel movie is moving ahead at New Line as horror continues to be a big draw.
I reported on Halloween last year – apt – that a prequel to the incredibly profitable Conjuring series was planned and now we have some small details.
Featuring a younger Ed and Lorraine Warren, played in the other movies by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, the movie, now called The Conjuring: First Communion, is likely to have a new cast in the roles of the real(ish) life ghost and demon hunters.
As previously reported, short film director Rodrigue Huart is in talks to direct, with Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg, who co-wrote the last three Conjuring movies and The Nun II, on writing duties.
Hah! And you thought the last movie was the end just because it was called Last Rites! You fools!
The new movie is set for release on September 10, 2027.
As well as this entry, there’s also a Conjuring TV series in pre-production, which we still know nothing about. There’s also The Curse of La Llorona in production with Santiago Menghini directing. The sequel to La Llorona will star Jay Hernandez and Monica Raymund, alongside returning star Raymond Cruz as the curandero.
The Conjuring universe consists not just of those movies but also the Nun, Annabelle and La Llorona movies,
See you guys back in theaters in 2027.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
