The director of "The Conjuring 3" announced that James Wan personally selected a post-95 director

The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, directed by James Wan, have achieved excellent box office and word-of-mouth results, and have spawned films such as Annabelle and The Nun, forming the "Conjuring Horror Universe". The Conjuring 3 is also being prepared, but James Wan, who took over the DC blockbuster Aquaman, is not available to direct, so New Line Cinema announced that Michael Chavez will take over as director.

This director named Michael Chavez was born in 1995 and is only 23 years old this year!

Michael Chavez recently collaborated with New Line on the horror film "Curse of the Weeping Woman", with James Wan as the producer and his company Atomic Monsters in charge of the production; the film will be released on April 19 next year.

According to his IMDB profile, Chavez, who is only 23 years old, shot his first short film "Worst Date Ever" in 2009 when he was 14 years old. Not counting "The Conjuring 3", Chavez has directed 5 short films and 1 feature film; "Curse of the Weeping Woman" is his feature film debut.

Chavez was discovered by James Wan for his horror short film The Maiden and was appointed director of The Curse of the Weeping Woman. During the collaboration on the film, he impressed James Wan: "Chavez's ability to inject emotion into the story, his understanding of atmosphere and horror, make him the perfect director for the next The Conjuring movie."

David Leslie Johnson, the screenwriter of The Conjuring 2, continues to write, and James Wan returns as a producer. The Conjuring 3 will continue to be adapted from the real exorcism of Ed and Laurie, and this new film is also the seventh film in the entire "Conjuring Universe".
