"The Conjuring" Theatrical Poster
Saw director James Wan scored a sleeper hit with his 2010 horror film Insidious. The movie starred Patrick Wilson as a concerned father who hires a paranormal investigator to try and help rescue his child from a demonic presence. The film owed more than a little to Steven Spielberg/Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist, but performed surprisingly well at the box office.
Now James Wan is teaming back up with Patrick Wilson for another tale of the supernatural. The Conjuring was slated for an unexceptional January release, but advanced preview screenings have been so overwhelmingly positive that the studio has moved the movie to the middle of the crowded summer season with a July 19th, 2013 date. Of course, The Conjuring is ‘based on a terrifying true story.” You can check out the extended (and spooky) trailer at Apple Quicktime.
Update: A new full-length trailer is here for your viewing pleasure.
