We’ve been covering news on the upcoming fright film The Conjuring since the beginning and this film only looks better each time new information is released, I can’t tell you all how psyched I am to see this film from the modern terror meister, James Wan (Saw, Insidious). Today we have a new UK one-sheet to chill you all.
From New Line Cinema comes a feature film drawn from the case files of married demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Conjuring stars Academy Award nominee Vera Farmiga (Bates Motel, Orphan) and Patrick Wilson (Hard Candy, Insidious) as the Warrens and Ron Livingston (HBO’s Band of Brothers) and Lili Taylor (Public Enemies) as Roger and Carolyn Perron, residents of the house.
Joey King (Crazy, Stupid, Love), Shanley Caswell (Detention), Haley McFarland (TV’s Lie to Me), Mackenzie Foy (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn), and newcomer Kyla Deaver play the Perrons’ five daughters, and Sterling Jerins (upcoming World War Z) is the Warrens’ little girl, Judy.
James Wan (Saw, Insidious) directs from a screenplay by Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes (The Reaping). The film is produced by Peter Safran, Tony DeRosa-Grund, and Rob Cowan with Walter Hamada and Dave Neustadter serving as executive producers. Reuniting with the director are members of his Insidious creative team, director of photography John Leonetti, editor Kirk Morri, and costume designer Kristin M. Burke, and his Saw production designer, Julie Berghoff. The music is composed by Joseph Bishara.
