 Seymour Levov, going by the nickname of 'Swede' in the Jewish community he was born into, was even more of an all-American than Douglas Fairbanks himself. He had just everything an American idol can dream of: not only was the tall muscular young man a high school star athlete but he married a beauty queen named Dawn in the bargain. And as if all this were not enough, Swede later became the successful manager of the glove factory his father had founded, which allowed him to live with his wife in a beautiful house in the New Jersey countryside. Well-mannered, always bright, smiling and positive, conservative but with a liberal edge, what bad could ever happen to him? And yet...this was reckoning without fate and its obnoxious irony, Swede and Dawn's nemesis manifesting itself in the person of Merry, their beloved daughter who in her teens unexpectedly turned into a violent activist. 

 

These are the only two new movies for the first week of May.

Thanks for reading and have fun watching movies.

Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)

Rated R for horror violence and terror.

During Warner Bros. panel at today’s event, Sandberg appeared for a brief discussion of his upcoming film. A fan of director James Wan — a “modern master of horror” — Sandberg described his excitement in stepping into the world Wan had conjured with The Conjuring. “That was the fun thing, because James set up this universe so great with the first Conjuring, which I was a huge fan of,” the director said. “It has this sort of classic horror movie feel—more old school. So this was my chance to do my version of an old school horror movie.”

In Annabelle: Creation, several years after the tragic death of their little girl, a dollmaker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of the dollmaker’s possessed creation, Annabelle.

The director also discussed the framing of his film as a prequel and origin story of Annabelle, a character previously introduced in the Conjuring films. “This is a prequel; hence, the Creation title. We actually see her being made, which was really fun for me,” he said of the possessed doll at the crux of the film. “I probably wouldn’t have been as interested in making it if it had been a straight continuation of the first movie.”

The horror film stars Stephanie Sigman, Talitha Bateman, Lulu Wilson, Philippa Coulthard, Grace Fulton, Anthony LaPaglia and Miranda Otto.

Annabelle scared up nearly $257 million at the worldwide box office during its run in theaters, with the entire Conjuring franchise generating $895 million at the global box office.

The new film is once again being produced by Peter Safran and Wan, who previously partnered on The Conjuring movies. Richard Brener, Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter and Hans Ritter executive produce. Sandberg directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman, who also wrote Annabelle.

Annabelle: Creation arrives in theaters on August 11, 2017. Watch the trailer above.
