New Line’s ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ Adds Ben Hardy & Mia Tomlinson

EXCLUSIVE: Ben Hardy and Mia Tomlinson have joined Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in New Line’s The Conjuring: Last Rites.

Wilson and Farmiga are reprising their roles as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the Michael Chaves directed sequel. Chaves previously directed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and The Nun II. New Line’s Conjuring Universe counts $2.25B at the global box office.
