David Leslie Johnson (co-writer for The Conjuring 2) will handle the script.. Corin Hardy directed the 2015 flick "The Hallow", he is also attached to the upcoming reboot of THE CROW.. But who knows if that project will ever see the light of day..
This will be New Line's second spin-off from the Conjuring, the first being Annabelle back in 2014..
To be honest I was not a fan of Annabelle, it was mediocre at best - but the film made a ton of cash, pulling in $256,873,813 million Worldwide... So I'm hoping The Nun will be on par with the Conjuring and the sequel, both were excellent films..
