The Warrens return for one last case in the new trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites – and by the looks of it, it's their darkest one yet.
The ninth entry in James Wan and Peter Safran's The Conjuring universe, which hits theaters via Warner Bros. Pictures on September 5, sees stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return for the last time as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun II) directs the last in the mainline series from a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing.
Last Rites is based on the infamous Smurl family haunting, which was said to have taken place from 1974 to 1989 in West Pittston, PA.
Rebecca Calder (Wrath of Man) and Elliot Cowan (Foundation) will star as Janet and Jack Smurl, with the rest of the family portrayed by Kíla Lord Cassidy (Heather), Beau Gadsdon (Dawn), Tilly Walker (Carin), Molly Cartwright (Shannon), Peter Wight (Grandpa Smurl), and Kate Fahy (Grandma Smurl).
While The Conjuring: Last Rites marks the last outing for Wilson and Farmiga, there's still the The Conjuring television series in development that's being executive produced by Wan and Safran.
There's also “Phase Two” of The Conjuring cinematic universe set to come, with Richard Brenner, head of New Line, previously implying that another wave of Conjuring films could be on the horizon. Wan still hasn't given up hope on that Crooked Man spinoff either. Whatever the case, we can hardly imagine this being the end of the highest-grossing horror franchise to date.
