New faces appearing on screen include Storm Reid as Sister Debra, Anna Popplewell as Kate and Katelyn Rose Downey as Sophie. Michael Chaves directed the film from a script written by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing and Akela Cooper, based on the characters created by James Wan and Gary Dauberman.
The last two spinoffs from the series: the curse of la llorona, And The spell 3: the devil made me do itwere also directed by Chaves, who firmly believes that Valak (the nun) is one of those iconic movie antagonists. “You see it on a poster and it’s like a slight evocation of Dracula. He looks a bit like Pennywise. You see a piece of Nosferatu. It is so timeless and has such a recognizable look. He is one of the strongest horror movie icons and one of the most fundamental movie villains,” he confesses.
Wan recognizes that the reason Sister Irene is making her trip back to France is because she is coming back for Maurice. “In the first movie, they thought they had left evil behind and defeated the demonic nun Valak. But then you get a little hint that this evil may have taken hold of Maurice, which is why Irene is coming back, whether she realizes it or not, for her friend, and that’s what I love. I love that these two characters are so close and that they have such a strong friendship. It is a platonic friendship in which she will do everything she can to fight this evil again and undergo a test of faith,” says the Australian filmmaker.
About the locations
the nun 2 was shot entirely in the South of France, This region is known for its goat cheese and runs through an area of feral goats, so the cast and crew were constantly amused when they saw one of the many yellow signs warning drivers about these animals.
Farmiga confirms that it was very special for her to be able to film in the exact place where the story takes place, “in Aix-en-Provence, in Tarascon, Martigues and Marseille… it was definitely an experience out of this world used to be. . Naturally, the atmosphere is dark and spooky, but it is interspersed with these beautiful landscapes and countryside. When it is possible to film in real, tangible locations, it creates an energy that is sometimes difficult to replicate on sets.”, adds the 29-year-old actress.
For Bloquet, filming in very old and historic places turned out to be a great opportunity because they have a lot of history.”I’m sure you can read and feel it on camera. Yes, it was shot in a studio, but most of it was outdoors, because it looks more realistic, more authentic and more like an adventure,” says the Belgian actor.
the new faces
Meeting Debra was a tough one for Reid, the 20-year-old actress, who considers her character to be a strong girl.She is from Mississippi, a state in the southern United States. He meets Sister Irene to defeat the demon, and he has been through a lot. Her family circumstances have not been the easiest, her mother passed away, her father kicked her out of the house and because of this she has a strength that people don’t expect. I greatly admire his qualities and I think he’s a great character,” he says.
According to Popplewell, women in horror films often play the role of damsels in distress, but in the nun 2This is not the case. “There is a dialogue that says ‘the nuns do all the work, the priests get all the credit’, and it’s an indicator of the feminist background that runs through it.”tells the actress who brings to life the character of Kate, a school teacher indirectly involved in Sister Irene’s mission.
