Patrick Wilson Is Back At The Further After Exorcising Demons in The Conjuring

It's the third time for Patrick Wilson to star in James Wan's horror films. After portraying the role of demonologist Ed Warren in The Conjuring, the actor is reprising his role as the father who was left in the spirit world when he saved his son's soul back into its physical body in 2011's Insidious.

If you have seen the first film, it's easier to guess where Insidious: Chapter 2 would pick up its story. Josh, portrayed by Wilson, is stranded in The Further when another spirit robbed his body in order to live again. This, we can assume, will be the family's and their allies' real battle against the supernatural forces. Moreover, they might still have to face the demon who wants to harm Dalton, Josh and Renai's (Rose Byrne) son.

In real life, Wilson is not the type to get scared with supernatural encounters."I've never done a seance or a ouija board. I have never had any sort of ghost experiences as a kid. A few things in the past few years, I guess - things moving around, hearing things, investigating them and getting no answers - but it doesn't really weird me out. I guess I just find it interesting," he said in an interview with UK's Belfast Telegraph.

Wilson had also met the real Lorraine Warren while filming The Conjuring. In an interview with Vulture, he said that Lorraine is "very wry and very light and very open" "for someone who has seen some very dark things".

"Vera (Farmiga) and I went there, and it's her (Lorraine), the priest, her daughter, and her son-in-law, in rural Connecticut, chickens running around in the house. Lorraine would be telling some story about some demonic thing she had witnessed, and in the same breath, turn to tell a rooster to shut up. What I walked away with is the real supreme faith that she has, not only in God, but in her husband. That was something Vera and I wanted to capture in the film, playing that couple, to give a glimmer of that relationship," he said.

He also described his experience with the exorcism scene in The Conjuring as "strange" and "freaky". "I had a Latin scholar come to me and sort of explain things. And it was a beast. We almost shot it in sequence, and this came towards the end of the shoot, which rarely happens. So you're exhausted and all your emotions are on edge. I got to be honest with you, because you're holding the book that the exorcism is done with, and you're holding a cross — and it's not a prop cross, it's a real cross — and it hits you on levels that you don't really expect it to."

Asked whether he believed in Warren's story or not, he told SpinOff: "Well, I look at it as it’s what they believed in at that time, and it’s not for me to judge. It’s what they say they saw.

"I believe they saw what they saw; it seems bizarre that they would fabricate some sort of lie from the get-go. I don’t believe that’s the case."

The Conjuring continues to earn in worldwide box office as the film is slated to be shown in other countries this August. It has already amassed a total of $87 million surpassing Pacific Rim and The Lone Ranger.

Meanwhile, the Australian release date for Insidious: Chapter 2 has yet to be confirmed.
