THE CONJURING Spin-Off Film THE NUN Will Be Directed by Corin Hardy
The director of The Hallow and the upcoming remake of The Crow, Corin Hardy, is set to direct The Conjuring spin-off horror film The Nun. If you saw The Conjuring 2, I'm sure you all remember that creepy ass demonic nun from the movie that haunted Vera Farmiga’s character.
I imagine this film will tell a prequel type story of this evil nun like the Annabelle spin-off. There are no story details for the film yet, but this is such a terrifying and intriguing character I'm curious to see how this story will turn out.
Hardy will direct from a script written Gary Dauberman and James Wan, who is also producing the film. This will be the next film that Hardy directs and he will do it before he gets to The Crow, which has been in development hell for years.
The demonic nun was a last minute addition to The Conjuring 2. It was originally just supposed to be a regular demon with horns, but when Wan pitched the idea to the studio right before they started shooting, they gave him their blessing. I'm glad they did because it's such a freaky entity.
