Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Well well well, it appears as if James Wan's THE CONJURING is doing quite well for itself, as yet another spinoff of the well-received horror film is being fast-tracked for a Summer 2018 release. Today, Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema label has confirmed that THE NUN will gear up to scare the daylights our of moviegoers on July 13, 2018. THE NUN marks the second time that characters from James Wan's universe have been granted an expanded, full-length feature treatment – the first being ANNABELLE, a film about a creepy AF doll that terrorizes people and laughs about it.

THE HALLOW director, Corin Hardy, will be the man behind the camera for THE NUN, which will follow a script penned by Gary Dauberman and James Wan. Wan will also produce the film alongside Peter Safran. Plot details about THE NUN are scarce at the moment, though I'm sure Wan and Dauberman are planning something truly spooktacular in an effort to make THE CONJURING, its sequel, and now several spinoff efforts a favorite among horror fans. 

THE NUN will be creeping into theaters on July 13, 2018.
