New Line Cinema has prayed for its next big horror director and has landed on Michael Chaves, who first directed The Curse of La Llorona for the studio.
Chaves, who was discovered by James Wan and his Atomic Monster after Bloody Disgusting posted his short film “The Maiden” on the website, would then go on to direct The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It for New Line.
Now deeply engrained in the Conjuring Universe, Chaves is taking the reigns on The Nun 2, Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively.
While 2018’s The Nun, which was spun off from the James Wan-directed The Conjuring 2, was helmed by Corin Hardy (The Hallow), Chaves had worked behind the scenes on additional photography. He will now take full control of The Nun.
Last we heard, Akela Cooper (Malignant) will be writing The Nun 2.
In The Nun, a priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun.
Bonnie Aarons played the title character in The Conjuring 2 and The Nun.
The Nun would scare up a whopping $365 million at the worldwide box office, all but ensuring that we haven’t seen the last of the demonic nun known as Valak.
