La Llorona trailer curse preview The legendary Mexican folk tale of La Llorona, which translates to "The Weeping Woman," has become the inspiration for a new horror film directed by Michael Chaves. The highly anticipated trailer for the movie has been released, but with it comes a chilling warning amid rumors of a curse surrounding the sneak peek. La Llorona is a well-known figure in Latin American folklore. She is said to be the spirit of a woman who drowned her children in a fit of rage after her husband left her. Consumed by grief and regret, she is now said to roam the rivers and streets, forever weeping and searching for her lost children. The tale of La Llorona has been passed down for generations, serving as a cautionary tale for misbehaving children.
Chaves continues, “Peter still gave his permission to let [Annabelle] be in there. The funny thing is that it was supposed to be a secret, it was supposed to be this Easter Egg, and [when the film premiered at] SXSW, there was a slip-up. The presenter introduced the movie as the next entry in the Conjuring universe. So that was a big kind of faux pas.
This despite the fact that Tony Amendola reprises his role as Father Perez from the first Annabelle movie, while The Curse of La Llorona also features a cameo from Annabelle herself. Safran is referring to the fact that Michael Chaves went on to direct mainline sequel The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It , and Chaves is also the director of this year s The Nun II.
The tale of La Llorona has been passed down for generations, serving as a cautionary tale for misbehaving children. The trailer for the upcoming film showcases the terrifying presence of La Llorona, with chilling visuals and eerie sound design. It gives viewers a glimpse into the dark and haunting world of this vengeful spirit.
Confirmed: ‘The Curse of La Llorona’ Is DEFINITELY Not Part of the Official ‘Conjuring Universe’
Depending on who you ask, this year’s The Nun II is either the eighth or ninth film in Warner Bros. and New Line’s The Conjuring Universe, and that’s because 2019’s The Curse of La Llorona was never actually marketed as being part of the universe, despite having a clear connection to it. So what’s the story there? Is it a Conjuring movie or is it not?
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly in celebration of The Conjuring‘s 10th anniversary, La Llorona director Michael Chaves confirms that it’s NOT an official Conjuring movie. This despite the fact that Tony Amendola reprises his role as Father Perez from the first Annabelle movie, while The Curse of La Llorona also features a cameo from Annabelle herself.
“There’s so much debate about it and I think I’ve played coy in the past,” Chaves tells EW. “The idea was that [the Annabelle cameo] was going to be this little hidden thing that you were going to discover as you watch the movie. One of the reasons that it couldn’t formally be a part of the Conjuring Universe is it didn’t include one of the key producers, Peter Safran. The Conjuring is his baby, him and James, and they are still the two core producers on it.”
Chaves continues, “Peter still gave his permission to let [Annabelle] be in there. The funny thing is that it was supposed to be a secret, it was supposed to be this Easter Egg, and [when the film premiered at] SXSW, there was a slip-up. The presenter introduced the movie as the next entry in the Conjuring universe. So that was a big kind of faux pas.
“It was a big mess-up, and that’s the truth of how that all came together.”
The Conjuring Universe producer Peter Safran also tells Entertainment Weekly that The Curse of La Llorona is most definitely “not part of The Conjuring universe.”
“You can’t count it!” Safran tells EW. “It periodically gets lumped in because of Chaves and because of Atomic Monster, but it is not officially part of the universe. By the way, I think Chaves did a great job on the movie, which is why we stole him for the Conjuring universe.”
Safran is referring to the fact that Michael Chaves went on to direct mainline sequel The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and Chaves is also the director of this year’s The Nun II.
One thing we have to mention about The Curse of La Llorona is that it didn’t quite scare up as much money as Conjuring Universe movies typically do, considered by those who count it among the universe to be the franchise’s lowest grossing movie to date. The film made $123 million worldwide, while the rest of the installments are in the $200 – $300 million range.
Perhaps The Curse of La Llorona would be officially considered part of the universe had it reached those same heights at the box office? We can’t help but wonder. But we’ll accept the official confirmation that it’s NOT part of the universe, and we’ll carry on with our lives.
Does this sit well with you? Feel free to comment below with your two cents…
“It was a big mess-up, and that’s the truth of how that all came together.”
However, alongside the excitement surrounding the movie, a supposed curse has emerged. According to rumors, anyone who watches the trailer for La Llorona will be plagued by bad luck and misfortune. Some claim to have experienced strange occurrences after viewing the preview, such as unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and unsettling nightmares. While these reports may simply be coincidences or the result of an overactive imagination, they have added a level of mystique and intrigue to the movie's promotion. It is not uncommon for horror movies to have urban legends or rumors surrounding them, often enhancing the overall thrill and anticipation for audiences. The idea of a curse tied to the trailer of La Llorona plays into the film's themes of supernatural horror and the power of folklore. However, it's important to remember that these claims should be taken with a grain of salt. The curse surrounding the La Llorona trailer is likely nothing more than a marketing ploy to generate buzz and increase interest in the film. The purpose of a trailer is to intrigue and captivate its audience, and this alleged curse only adds to the movie's allure. In conclusion, the release of the La Llorona trailer has brought both excitement for the film and speculation about a curse associated with it. While the legend of La Llorona is deeply rooted in Mexican folklore, the curse is likely just a promotional tactic to heighten anticipation. Whether or not one believes in the curse, the movie itself promises to be a chilling and terrifying exploration of this haunting tale..
