The curse of la llorona cast series#
For example, Netflix's entire roster of Marvel series has been generally considered part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, between references to "the incident" from The Avengers and the superhero team themselves. It's also not the first time something with connections to a larger franchise is put into question. But for Chaves to remain firm that because the whole Conjuring team wasn't a part of La Llorona, it isn't franchise canon, is admirable, and indicates good in-studio synergy. Of course, with advertising having promoted it as such and most audiences and critics at this point already chalking it up as part of the series, it would be just as easy to go along with the belief and call it a day. Not like we’re trying to steal your mojo or your brand.”Ĭhaves' explanation for the lack of a proper connection between the film and the larger Conjuringuniverse is both an understandable and fairly wholesome one. It was supposed to be just a wink and a nod.

It’s not really right to do an official spinoff without the full team. When we premiered it in Austin, it was mistakenly announced as ‘The next chapter in The Conjuring universe,' which sent waves of panic all the way through New Line. But The Conjuring franchise is created by a team that’s been there since the beginning. But James was on as a producer, the conversation got started about an Easter Egg. The idea was just to have a playful connection because the myth of La Llorona can stand on its own. But as La Llorona is an outsider herself, I think it fits. It’s a tricky situation, I don’t want to give away any trade secrets. And that’s why it has this outsider status. The plan was, you would get into it, and then it’s like, ‘Oh my God, they’re connected!’ We weren’t, from the beginning, supposed to be doing that. But it wasn’t supposed to be marketed that way.

Originally, there was only supposed to be a playful nod, by putting The Father in and having the Annabelle flash.

“The very simple reason isn’t it was made without one of the producers, so technically it can not be fully embraced. Though explaining the slight nod it included to Wan's series and the story behind it, the director confirmed it is not considered part of that universe, bringing its film count back down to seven instead of eight. In an interview with Dread Centralfor the latest installment in the mainline franchise, The Devil Made Me Do It, Chaves was asked to settle the debate of whether his La Llorona film is indeed part of the Conjuring universe or not.

The other big focus for the franchise has been its Annabelle series centered on the titular haunted doll. The franchise's primary focus is Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson's Ed and Lorraine Warren, two of America's most prominent paranormal investigators, and some of their more iconic yet controversial cases. James Wan's Conjuring universe began with the eponymous 2013 outing and has spawned several spin-offs and sequels. Starring Linda Cardellini and Raymond Cruz, the film centered on Anna Tate-Garcia, a Los Angeles social worker, police widow, and mother of two as she finds herself and her children targeted by the titular malevolent spirit. La Llorona marked Chaves' feature directorial debut after several shorts, including the Shriekfest award-winning The Maiden. Director Michael Chaves explained why The Curse of La Llorona is not technically a part of Warner Bros.' The Conjuring universe.
