Per Variety:

Wan came up with the story with Ingrid Bisu, and he will produce through the Atomic Monster banner with Michael Clear. Details regarding who will pen the script are still being worked out.

The film, a recipient of the Independent California Film Rebate, is being independently financed through Starlight Media and Midas Innovation, who will retain distribution rights in China. New Line will handle the remaining distribution. Wan and New Line’s partnership dates back to the original Conjuring film, which has led to several spin-offs including April’s The Curse of La Llorona.
