James Wan Directing The Conjuring Sequel

He's headed back to horrorWhen he was out promoting The Conjuring in 2013, and preparing to start shooting Fast & Furious 7, James Wan talked about how he was finished with horror films for a while and wanted to focus on other things. It seems he’s happy to return to keep guiding at least one of his scare franchises, as the director has made a deal to craft The Conjuring 2.We guessed when news broke that the horror sequel was being pushed back to 2016 that Wan may have made a deal to return provided he could be given more time to work on other things, such as the extensive tour planned in support of the new Fast outing, which itself had to be delayed to 2015 after the sad death of Paul Walker.And Wan hasn’t stepped entirely away from the terror genre that helped make his career: he produced this year’s Conjuring spin-off Annabelle, and his new deal includes an option to produce and develop sci-fi, horror and comedy films for New Line via his Atomic Monster production company.No firm details have emerged about the Conjuring sequel, which currently carries the subtitle The Enfield Poltergeist.
