After stepping into the haunted homes of the Perron and Hodgson families, respectively, in the first two Conjuring movies, screenwriters Chad and Carey Hayes are now opening the door to another real-life location with a haunted past in a new horror franchise based on the Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans:
Press Release: From the creators of The Conjuring franchise, Chad and Carey Hayes, and Faster Horse Pictures’ Cindy Bond and Doug McKay in tandem with Michael Whalen, a team with experience working on The Zodiak, Shutter Island and The Black Swan, comes a new horror film franchise based on the infamous house and property known as The Lalaurie Mansion – one of the most haunted houses in the world. Despite there being no public access inside the property since 1932 (for a reason!), thousands of people travel to New Orleans each year just to get a roadside glimpse of the notorious home.

The writers of “The Conjuring” films Chad and Carey Hayes are developing a new horror franchise of films inspired by the stories of the haunted Lalaurie Mansion in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
The two brothers will tell the history of the house and its crazed owner, Madame Delphine Lalaurie across multiple film installments, and the intention is for principal photography to begin in 2020.
The Lalaurie Mansion is considered one of the most haunted houses in the world and has been closed to the public since 1932, but it remains a popular tourist attraction. The house’s owner Madame Lalaurie was a New Orleans socialite and serial killer who tortured and murdered enslaved persons hidden away in her house all while being the center of attention as the host of extravagant parties.

Exclusive: Chad and Carey Hayes, the creators of the mega-successful Conjuring franchise, are teaming with Cindy Bond and Doug McKay’s recently launched outfit Faster Horse Pictures on a series of haunted mansion horror movies.
The planned franchise will be built around the real-life Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans, one of the most notorious ‘haunted houses’ in the world, which hasn’t allowed any public access since 1932. Despite that, thousands of tourists still travel to the city every year to visit the property.
The house was made infamous by its resident Madame Lalaurie, a New Orleans socialite and serial killer who tortured and murdered numerous slaves there in the early 1800s. After her crimes were exposed following a house fire in 1834, she fled the city and was never arrested.
The building has had several owners but is now owned by Michael Whalen,...

In the years since the resurgence of 3D in Hollywood thanks to James Cameron, we’ve seen the dimension-expanding tool profiteered in a number of bastardized ways, but every so often a filmmaker comes along to truly push its boundaries in an exciting manner. Following Jean-Luc Godard and ahead of Bi Gan, Blake Williams premiered Prototype, which looks a major storm in Texas in 1900 to investigate the medium of cinema itself.
Andrew Ward said in his review from the Museum of the Moving Image’s First Look Festival, “Prototype‘s unique combination of archival footage and 3D imaging techniques creates an image of the past that is chiefly concerned with space over time, playing out like a performance of the Galveston storm rather than a simple retelling of the event through a use of historical footage.”

This morning, the world saw the release of the First Trailer for the boxing sequel Creed II, the latest unlikely sequel in the long running Rocky franchise. A few years ago, the thought of more Rocky entries was greeted with a big eye roll. Now, in the shadow of Creed, there’s genuine excitement again. That prior outing was a modern sports movie classic. There’s big shoes to fill this time around, but the initial look at things suggests that everyone involved is up to the task. About five months out from release, this is our first hint that this won’t be a simple cash grab. There’s another compelling story to tell here. The film is another Rocky sequel/spinoff. This is the official plot synopsis that MGM/Warner Brothers has provided: “Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight,...
