The Nun
Release date: Sep. 7 (US/UK), Sep. 6 (AU)
The Conjuring franchise is expanding again with this latest spinoff prequel. The Nun flashes back to 1950’s Romania and focuses on the demon Valek, last seen tormenting Vera Farmiga’s Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring 2. This film stars Farmiga’s sister Taissa as Sister Irene and Demián Bichir as Father Burke, a Catholic priest sent to investigate a mysterious suicide. While James Wan remains attached as a producer, this particular spinoff is directed by The Hallow’s Corin Hardy.
