Javier Botet Offers Update on THE CROOKED MAN Spin-Off

You can keep The Nun and all those Annabelle movies. I want to see that The Crooked Man spin-off, The Conjuring 2 set up.

So where is it? Not too sure, but actor Javier Botet has just offered an update during a recent interview.

He tells Daily Dead: “Since the first time I met the producers when we were shooting Conjuring 2, they spoke to me, they told me that the intention was to make a spinoff. So I said, ‘Okay, let’s make Conjuring 2 first and then we will play it by ear.’

He continues: “But I love the character. It’s amazing, beautiful. So it’s a pity to see only a little, little part in The Conjuring 2. I’m so excited and I want to make a Crooked Man spinoff. But I know the same that everybody knows. They wrote the screenplay and they are waiting at the moment. They want to do it, but we don’t have a schedule. We don’t know when it’s going to happen.”

The last time we saw The Crooked Man on-screen was in The Conjuring 2 which took place in 1977 and followed paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren coming out of a self-imposed sabbatical to travel to north London.

There, they meet Peggy Hodgson, an overwhelmed single mother of four who tells the couple that something evil is in her home. Ed and Lorraine believe her story when the youngest daughter starts to show signs of demonic possession. As they try to help the girl, they become the next targets of the malicious spirit.

The Conjuring 2 was directed by James Wan from a screenplay he co-wrote along with Chad and Carey W. Hayes, and David Leslie Johnson. Wan also produced along with Peter Safran and Rob Cowan. It stars Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O’Connor, Madison Wolfe, Simon McBurney, and Franka Potente. Warner Bros. Pictures unleashed it back on June 10, 2016.
