Director James Wan will be making his return to the horror genre to direct.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/deadline.com\/2014\/10\/the-conjuring-sequel-james-wan-director-new-line-annabelle-856896\/\">Deadline <\/a>reports that has &#x201C;closed a big two-pronged deal with&#xA0;New Line Cinema. He will return to direct&#xA0;<strong><em>The Conjuring 2<\/em><\/strong>, with shooting to begin next summer.&#x201D;<\/p>\n<p>This comes after Wan&#x2019;s announcement last year that he would be taking a break from horror, during which time he went to direct <strong><em>Fast And Furious 7<\/em><\/strong>. Reportedly it is Wan&#x2019;s commitment to promoting that film which means that <strong><em>The Conjuring 2<\/em><\/strong> will get going a little later than planned.<\/p>\n<p>This is definitely good news, and not too much of a surprise given Wan&#x2019;s obvious love for the genre. However, his wanting to take a break was understandable, given that he had <strong><em>The Conjuring<\/em><\/strong> and<strong><em> Insidious: Chapter 2<\/em> <\/strong>come out in quick succession last year.<\/p>\n<p>Wan will also be helping to develop horror movies at New Line, who recently enjoyed great financial success with low-budget horror <strong><em>Annabelle<\/em><\/strong>, which spun off from <strong><em>The Conjuring<\/em><\/strong>. Bring on the creepy dolls, the terrifying clapping and the things that go bump in the night.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Conjuring 2<\/em> will be released in 2016.
