Annabelle, the possessed doll featured in the very first CONJURING film, has terrified and fascinated audiences over the course of multiple installments of the franchise, and her latest, ANNABELLE COMES HOME, will bring the demonic doll back to the haunted collection of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Unlike the previous films in the ANNABELLE franchise, ANNABELLE COMES HOME will feature Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their roles of Ed and Lorraine Warren, as the story is said to take place after the doll was added to their collection, but before the main events of the first CONJURING film.
With the release of ANNABELLE COMES HOME just a few short months away, we're likely set to receive the first teaser for the film before too long, but in the meantime, James Wan has revealed a first look image from the upcoming film which shows Annabelle at home among the other haunted artifacts.
McKenna Grace (The Haunting of Hill House) is also set to star as the Warren's daughter, Judy. ANNABELLE COMES HOME will find the demonic doll setting its sights on Judy, who, alongside with her two teenage babysitters, will have to face off against Annabelle. Gary Dauberman, who wrote the first two ANNABELLE films as well as THE NUN, made his directorial debut on the project. "It really picks up with the Warrens bringing Annabelle to the place where it can really no longer wreak havoc, which is their artifact room," Dauberman said last year at San Diego Comic-Con. "But, of course, it turns out she can also wreak havoc there. And she really awakens the evil within that room and they target the Warrens’ 10-year-old daughter, Judy. So, that’s the setup." James Wan added, "Annabelle basically activates all the other haunted artifacts in that room. So, it’s basically A Night at the Museum, with Annabelle!"
ANNABELLE COMES HOME will hit theaters on June 28, 2019.
