The Conjuring won't hit theaters until July 19, but New Line is already lining up a sequel to James Wan's horror pic.
Set in 1971 Rhode Island, The Conjuring is inspired by the work of real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, respectively. Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor portray a father and mother of young daughters who were plagued by a haunted house.
"Horror is very much a part of the DNA of New Line -- Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, The Rite, and the Final Destination films," said New Line president Toby Emmerich. "This is as good a horror movie as we've ever made... We think it will have great playability."
According to Variety, the studio is looking to expand the film into a franchise, using other Warren investigations as inspiration. "We have Lorraine's permission and support, and we are working on developing another film," Emmerich added.
