James Wan‘s first two The Conjuring movies laid the groundwork for the core movies in the franchise introducing elements that can be spun off into offshoots like Annabelle and The Nun, but new movie The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It doesn’t quite follow those footsteps. The story is pretty self-contained, offering up very little in the form of spinoff potential.
Speaking with Slash Film this week, however, director Michael Chaves reveals that the original plan was for the movie to include a demon that could potentially get its own movie.
“We actually did have what we thought was going to be the new [spin-off] demon, and this is something that was true to the story,” Chaves explains to the website. “We had a demon that was full-on pulled from little David’s interview and description. Arnie said he saw the same thing. And it felt like this was going to be the iconic demon.”
Chaves continues, “[James Wan] was with this from the very beginning – James, Monster Maestro. And we shot it. We had a cut of the film with this demon in it.”
According to Chaves, this demon was going to be working with the film’s human antagonist, “The Occultist,” but the movie became too complicated with two villains at the center of it.
The most spinoff potential present in The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, alas, is probably the flashback bits that give us some insight into Ed and Lorraine Warren’s early years as a couple, which could make for an interesting movie down the road. It’s just too bad Taissa Farmiga already starred in The Nun, because she would make the perfect “Young Lorraine”!
