June 9, 2016

James Wan and his Conjuring 2 cast discuss this weekend’s horror sequel

In 2013, James Wan brought to the big screen the true story of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren with the hugely successful The Conjuring. Starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, The Conjuring went on to gross $318 million at the worldwide box office, making it the second-highest grossing original horror movie of all time, second only to The Exorcist. This Friday, Wan returns with a new tale of terror based on one of the most documented hauntings in history, the Enfield Poltergeist, which allegedly terrorized a single mother and her children at their house outside of London in the late 1970s.

ComingSoon.net had the chance to sit down with James Wan and his Conjuring 2 cast, including Verga Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O’Connor and young actress Madison Wolfe. In the player below, you can take a look inside The Conjuring 2 and find out why the horror sequel plays out differently than you might expect.
