In other words, it wasn’t totally crazy that I thought I saw him at first.Īpart from Eugenie Bondurant, we also see the young Julian Hilliard as the boy David who is first possessed when the movie begins. He was Edith’s Mother / Lady Sharpe in Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak (2015). She’s perfect in The Conjuring 3 which just made me hope that we’ll see her in more genre movies soon.įor the record, Doug Jones has actually played female characters in the past as a body horror actor. You may also recognize her from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. It’s the brilliant actor Eugenie Bondurant who we recently saw in Fear of Rain. I just got so excited because I thought I saw the likeness of the actor I adore from movies like Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) or The Shape of Water (2017).Ī bit later on, I realize the enormity of my error when I could see that the form was actually female. But no, Doug Jones is not in The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. When we first see a glimpse of a sinister character in the shadows, I nearly jumped in my seat and thought “Wow, is that Doug Jones?! Awesome!”. The subtitle of this third movie was otherwise taken from his defense at the murder trial. They’ve gone a very different route with this movie and the whole “The Devil Made Me Do It” seems to suddenly refer to more people than “just” Arne Johnson.
#DOUG JONES ACTOR HORROR MOVIES TRIAL#
Maybe in the style of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (which I love) where the trial was the focus and we then saw the demonic events in flashbacks. Still, I did expect the true story of Arne Johnson to have more screentime. This time around, they’ve virtually turned into detectives. I’ve always liked both actors and in The Conjuring universe, they just make perfect sense. Of course, Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson continue to be just perfect as Lorraine and Ed respectively. Will the same happen in this third movie? You’ll have to watch it to find out.
In that sense, it seems like a very natural evolution to have an even quicker pace in this movie. Also, Ed Warren continues to try and be the hero, but by now we all know that Lorraine Warren is usually the one who saves the day. In getting ready for this third movie, I rewatched the previous two and the action did already increase with The Conjuring 2. They persevere together which is something we’ve already seen in the previous two movies.
From how they met, to how they work together and the way in which they are constantly met with disbelief. It was really quite lovely.This third time is all about Ed and Lorraine WarrenĪs mentioned above, The Conjuring 3 is all about Ed and Lorraine Warren. We're all 30 years older, and have matured and come through a lot of life in that time, so there was a lot to chat about on set. That was a big difference that I noticed, and was very happy about. I was still like, 'Oh, my gosh, there they are again.' But now, with the 30 years that have passed, my career has gone places, and thankfully, I've been very blessed with what's happened in my life, that they were treating me, and we were interacting more as peers. Oh, my gosh!' Coming back, you never lose your starstruck-ness, really, or I don't. I was just like, 'I can't believe I'm on the same set with these people. I was such a huge fan of Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, who had done The Kathy & Mo Show and Sister Act, at that time. "The difference between 30 years, working with them, is that I was starstruck the first time. I got to reunite with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, which was so dreamy," Jones continued. "When that call came, I was excited to get to do all of that again.
