Unlike the recent spinoff film, Annabelle (which explored the back story of The Conjuring‘s terrifying doll), it is believed that The Conjuring 2 will continue the based-on-truth adventures of paranormal investigators Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga’s Ed and Lorraine Warren.
As was the case with the original, The Conjuring 2 features a screenplay by Chad and Carey Hayes.
The June 10, 2016 date means that The Conjuring 2 will take on Jon M. Chu’s heist sequel Now You See Me 2 as well as Seth Gordon’s video game adaptation Uncharted.
Little development has been seen so far on the latter project, so it’s quite possible Uncharted will ultimately move to another date.
