The Conjuring 2’s Nun is getting her own spin-off movie

The Conjuring had a spin-off movie in the shape of Annabelle. It now looks like James Wan’s The Conjuring 2 will have a similar spin-off and this one will look at The Nun. Bonnie Aarons, under heavy makeup, played the character.

David Leslie Johnson, who co-wrote Conjuring 2, is writing the screenplay. James Wan will produce.

What is especially interesting about this is the fact that the Nun was not originally in the movie. Instead it was going to be a horned demonic figure. The studio was ready to release that version but at the last minute, Wan was struck by a revelation. So he came up with a new concept, a demon nun, which he pitched to New Line. Luckily New Line gave him their blessing.

The shoot took place in March, just three months before the movie was scheduled to open on June 10. Some of the changes were minor: The art piece that Wilson is painting was altered digitally as the horned demon made way for the demon nun. Some were more extensive, such as a set piece in which Farmiga watches in terror as a shadow crawls across the wall to line up with the painting.
