The Conjuring 4 – or The Conjuring: Last Rites – has landed in London for production ahead of its 2025 release. More here.
If you’re keeping track of The Conjuring series of movies and it assorted spin-offs, then just know that to collect them all on physical media you’re going to need to invest in a good shelf from Ikea. Other suppliers are available.
However, in terms of the actual main line of Conjuring films, there have been three. By my reckoning, there have been five direct spin-off movies, so they’re winning. Still, as you’ve probably gleaned from the headline to this story, there’s now a fourth The Conjuring film that’s recently gone before the cameras.
It’s called The Conjuring: Last Rites, and we’re willing to bet a reasonable amount of money that it won’t be the last one. Screen Daily is reporting too that the new film is shooting in the UK (much as The Conjuring 2 did in part) with London playing host to chunks of the production.
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are, again, in the lead roles, and this is supposed to be the swansong for their characters, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Returning too is director Michael Chaves, who steered the third The Conjuring film as well as The Nun II. Scripting duties have fallen to Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick.
The plan at the moment is for the film to come out in September 2025, with Warner Bros again backing the project. No word yet on the plot, but our guess is it’ll involve some bouts of silence, some jumping, and people in the audience shrieking. Also: hard cash at the box office.
We’re not going to get a trailer or anything for the film until next year now, but if they’re out and about shooting on the streets of London, your Conjuring needs may be satiated by the occasion cameraphone shot. Until we hear more, we shall now be quiet.
