The new film is once again being produced by Peter Safran and James Wan, who also partnered so effectively on The Conjuring movies.
In Annabelle: Creation, several years after the tragic death of their little girl, a dollmaker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of the dollmaker’s possessed creation, Annabelle.
