"Taissa plays the younger Vera"
The Conjuring: Last Rites director talks about The Nun cameo
The Conjuring: Last Rites director Michael Chaves spoke to EW about how a scheduling conflict prevented Taissa Farmiga from giving a cameo as The Nun. he said:
"She wanted to. I have been dying to get the Farmiga sisters on screen together. I think the only time they've been on screen together is in Vera's movie Higher Ground, which is a great movie. Vera directed this."
He then revealed that Taissa plays the younger version of Vera in the film.
"They're actually not on screen together, but [Taissa] plays the younger Vera. I probably should have just put her in digitally, just shot her on blue screen and put her in later because that would've worked."
Chaves stated that Taissa's appearance might have confused some viewers.
"I think then people would be like, 'Wait! She looks too young chronologically for the '80s. If she was in the '50s, does she not age? Is she a vampire?' It might have broken people's brains a little bit."
The Conjuring: Last Rites is inspired by the real-life Smurl haunting, which Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reprise their roles as Lorraine and Ed, respectively. Farmiga has said that this will be her last appearance as Mrs. Lorraine on the big screen. Other cast members include Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hardy, Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, and Kate Fahy.
The Conjuring franchise started in 2013 with the horror film of the same name, directed by James Wan. It was followed by Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, The Nun, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, among others.
Last Rites was made on a budget of $55 million and received mostly mixed reviews from critics. Despite this, it secured the largest opening weekend for any film in the franchise.
