The Revenge Of La Llorona: Long-Delayed Sequel Finally Moves Forward — Here’s What We Know

After the box-office success of The Conjuring: Last Rites, horror fans are in for another treat as the genre expands into darker territory. More than half a decade since The Curse of La Llorona was released, its sequel, The Revenge of La Llorona, is moving forward. The 2019 film, based on the popular Hispanic-American urban legend, was tied to the Conjuring Universe through a brief scene featuring the Annabelle doll, although it never received the recognition of an official chapter in the series. Now, audiences can expect the next chapter in the eerie tale of La Llorona.

The Revenge Of La Llorona: Director & Producer Details

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming installment will be filmed in Buffalo, New York. Much to the disappointment of horror aficionados, James Wan will not be directing the movie and instead makes his way back as a producer once again alongside Gary Dauberman and Emile Gladstone. A lot depends on Sean Tretta of Mayans M.C., who is in charge of the script. However, Michael Chaves, who has served as the director of three of the recent Conjuring Universe films – The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun II and The Conjuring: Last Rites, is stepping aside from the role, making way for Santiago Menghini, who directed No One Gets Out Alive.

The Curse Of La Llorona Was A Box-Office Hit

The sequel took years to take shape after several false starts, despite the original movie’s financial success. Made on a modest $9 million budget, The Curse of La Llorona pulled in $123.2 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. It remains the lowest-grossing entry in the Conjuring-connected titles, but the profit margin made it too valuable to leave behind.
