Saw and Insidious director James Wan is keeping things in creepy gear for The Conjuring, which teams him with a great cast including Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor and Joey King. Now a new trailer and poster have arrived, to get us excited for the August 2nd release.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, The Conjuring tells the horrifying tale of how renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warrenwere called upon to help a family terrorised by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.

A couple of days ago it was announced that Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga has signed up to star The Conjuring for director James Wan (Saw, Insidious). Now they have some company, as Variety reports that Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor have joined the supernatural thriller.

The movie is about a husband and wife team of demonologists (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) who investigate a Rhode Island farmhouse. Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor will play the husband and wife who move into the farmhouse with their children, and encounter a number of evil spirits (last week it had appeared Wilson and Farmiga would be the husband and wife who’ve been haunted).

James Wan is directing The Conjuring from a screenplay by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes. The film is based on the supposedly true story of the Perron family, and paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, which took place during the 1970s. Production is scheduled to begin this March in North Carolina.
