We already knew that a third Conjuring spin-off featuring the demonic doll Annabelle was in the works. Thanks to producer James Wan and writer/director Gary Dauberman, we now know more about what it'll entail.
Unlike the first Annabelle sequel, which went further back in time to explore the doll's early days, the new one finds the Warrens (Patrick Wilson's Ed and Vera Farmiga's Lorraine) locking the terrifying toy away in their house, where she supposedly can't cause further havoc. At least, that's the plan...
“I’m still finalizing the script, but 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 during the ScareDiego event Wednesday night at this year's 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 set-up.” "It’s basically Night At The Museum, with Annabelle!" added Wan. So not quite as scary, then?
The movie itself will be out next July, and will be shooting later this year.
