It’s anticipated that The Conjuring: Last Rites storyline would unfold in the 1980s. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are set to reprise their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warrens were involved in numerous cases throughout that decade, providing ample material for the upcoming film. In 1986, they worked on a case that loosely inspired the 2009 film The Haunting in Connecticut. To keep the series innovative, the producers might steer clear of the Warrens’ more well-known cases.
One potential storyline could be the chilling account of the Smurl haunting, a case investigated by the Warrens in 1986.
The revelation of The Conjuring: Last Rites took place at CinemaCon on April 28, 2023, during a presentation by Warner Bros. In this upcoming film, we can expect the return of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.
Notably, Warner Bros. shared that James Wan, the director of the first two Conjuring movies, will be taking on the role of producer for this installment. David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who penned the scripts for the previous two films, is set to write the script for the fourth Conjuring movie. As the news spread online, fans eagerly expressed their anticipation for the film on social media, sparking discussions and speculations about what the title might signify.
Although the official release date for The Conjuring: Last Rites hasn’t been confirmed, there’s speculation that the film might grace screens around 2025. Our hunch is that Warner Bros. will probably aim for a release during the summer movie season, given the tendency for horror films to thrive at the box office during that time.
