New Line Cinema has released the first trailer for The Nun II, the next chapter in the story of the demonic nun known as Valak, which ended up becoming the highest -grossing entry in The Conjuring franchise.
1956, France. A priest is murdered. An evil is spreading. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit follows Sister Irene as she once again comes face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun.
The first movie brought a pretty basic (but no less effective) brand of signposted jump-scares to the table, and the sequel appears to be following suit.
Taissa Farmiga (The Nun, The Gilded Age) returns as Sister Irene, joined by Jonas Bloquet (Tirailleurs, The Nun), Storm Reid (The Last of Us, The Suicide Squad), Anna Popplewell (Fairytale, The Chronicles of Narnia trilogy) and Bonnie Aarons (reprising her role from the first movie), surrounded by an ensemble cast of international talent.
Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) directs, from a screenplay by Ian Goldberg & Richard Naing (Eli, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) and Akela Cooper (M3GAN, Malignant), with a story by Cooper, based on characters created by James Wan & Gary Dauberman.
