New Line Cinema is trying ahead to persevering with the Conjuring universe and the Nightmare on Elm Road franchise
We’ve been listening to that the Conjuring movie franchise is ready to return to an finish with the fourth installment, The Conjuring: Final Rites, which Warner Bros. / New Line Cinema has scheduled for a theatrical launch on September 5, 2025 launch. Some months in the past, producer James Wan took to social media to share an image of the chairs meant for franchise stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga on the set of the movie, writing, “Always good to see and hang out with old friends. Gonna miss everyone. End of an era.“ Production on the sequel has since wrapped – and while we wait for the marketing to start, New Line Cinema CCO Richard Brener has revealed that this isn’t the end of the Conjuring Universe. It’s actually just the end of “phase one,” and the studio is trying ahead to “phase two.” Brener additionally admitted that New Line Cinema, which is named “The House That Freddy Built” as a result of the A Nightmare on Elm Road franchise was their first main success, remains to be hoping to proceed the Elm Road collection.
We don’t have any plot information on The Conjuring: Final Rites at the moment, all we all know that the story takes place in the USA within the Eighties. Michael Chaves, who beforehand directed The Conjuring: The Satan Made Me Do It, The Nun II, and the Conjuring Universe-adjacent The Curse of La Llorona, is on the helm of The Conjuring: Final Rites, working from a screenplay written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who additionally wrote The Conjuring 2 and The Conjuring: The Satan Made Me Do It.
Franchise producers James Wan and Peter Safran are producing the movie, with Michael Clear and Judson Scott serving as government producers alongside Hans Ritter.
Wilson and Farmiga have been joined within the solid by Ben Hardy (Love at First Sight) and Mia Tomlinson (The Misplaced Pirate Kingdom). Particulars on the characters they’re enjoying haven’t been revealed.
Talking with The Hollywood Reporter, Brener stated The Conjuring: Final Rites is “testing through the roof and we’re only at the director’s cut, the 10-week part of the movie where you’re normally very, very scared about the status of your film. We’re very early in the process, have very preliminary visual effects, but it’s already through the roof. So while this is the last of what we call phase one, we are hopeful that we can make more.” When he was requested about section two, he replied, “Section two is TBD.“
In the meantime, the A Nightmare on Elm Road franchise has been dormant ever because the poorly-received remake was launched again in 2010. The Elm Road rights reverted to the property of the unique movie’s late creator Wes Craven in 2019, and it was stated that they had been actively taking pitches. However apparently the rights challenge isn’t as clear-cut because it seemed to be. Mike Flanagan has let or not it’s recognized that he has an concept for a brand new film in thoughts, however his agent can’t work out who to have him pitch it to. Elijah Wooden and his SpectreVision producing companion Daniel Noah have stated they need to make an Elm Road film and have “been in touch with the rights holders many times,” however that hasn’t gone anyplace. Blumhouse founder Jason Blum has stated he’s curious about going to Elm Road. However there’s no signal of a brand new Nightmare on Elm Road film going ahead. The Elm Road franchise appears to be trapped in limbo.
When Brener was requested if there’s one other A Nightmare on Elm Road on the horizon, he answered, “We hope so. It’s difficult due to the rights.“
