'Conjuring 2' spin-off 'The Nun' in works

Los Angeles: Makers of "Conjuring 2" are developing a spin-off of the movie, titled "The Nun", which will be centered around the villain of the original.

James Wan, the director of "Conjuring" and "Conjuring 2", and Peter Safran, who produced both the movies, are reuniting to produce the spin-off, said The Hollywood Reporter.

Fresh off the success of The Conjuring 2, the film company is spinning off the villain of the supernatural thriller, the demonic nun, into her own movie.

David Leslie Johnson, who co-wrote "Conjuring 2", has been hired to pen the film about the demonic nun.

What is noteworthy about the demon nun character is that she didn't exist until about three months before "Conjuring 2" opened, as she was only added during last-minute re-shoots.

"The Nun" will be the second spin-off from the Conjuring series, following 2014's "Annabelle".
