Irish actors Simon Delaney and Maria Doyle Kennedy are set to star in the sequel to the 2013 supernatural box office hit, The Conjuring.
Directed again by James Wan, The Conjuring 2 is billed as a supernatural thriller in which another real case from the files of renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren is documented.
Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson star as Lorraine and Ed, who travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children whose house is plagued by malicious spirits.
