'Conjuring 2' Spin-Off Film in the Works
by EG
The Conjuring franchise continues to expand, with New Line getting to work on a Conjuring 2 spinoff based around the character of the Crooked Man.
Mike Van Waes has been hired to pen the script from a story by James Wan, who serves as the chief architect of the Conjuring universe.
The Crooked Man made his first appearance in The Conjuring 2, the Wan-helmed horror hit that opened in theaters in June. The film series stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Lorraine and Ed Warren, the real-life paranormal researchers who help people whose homes have been plagued by malicious spirits.
Wan and Peter Safran are producing The Crooked Man, the next chapter in this growing universe.
