'The Curse of La Llorona' Bukan Sebahagian Daripada 'The Conjuring Universe'

Pengarah filem The Curse of La Llorona menyatakan yang filem tersebut bukan sebahagian daripada dunia The Conjuring, tidak seperti teori peminat yang diterbitkan sebelum ini. Filem yang merupakan filem pertama arahan Michael Chaves itu sebelum ini berkait dengan siri The Conjuring dengan sebuah rujukan karakter di dalam filem tersebut.

Para peminat mungkin kecewa dengan pengumuman ini namun ianya ialah hakikat yang terpaksa diterima. Dalam sebuah temubual bersama Dead Central, ketika membincangkan tentang filem The Conjuring 3, pengarah tersebut ditanyakan sama ada benar The Curse of La Llorona sebahagian daripada dunia sinematik The Conjuring. 

“The very simple reason [why La Llorona] isn’t [part of The Conjuring Universe is because] it was made without one of the [Conjuring franchise] producers, so technically it can not be fully embraced. That’s the very simple reason. Originally, there was only supposed to be a playful nod [to The Conjuring franchise in La Llorona], by putting The Father in and having the Annabelle flash. But it wasn’t supposed to be marketed that way. The plan was, you would get into it, and then it’s like, ‘Oh my God, they’re connected!’ We weren’t, from the beginning, supposed to be doing that. And that’s why it has this outsider status. But as [the character] La Llorona is an outsider herself, I think it fits. It’s a tricky situation, I don’t want to give away any trade secrets. The idea was just to have a playful connection [to The Conjuring] because the myth of La Llorona can stand on its own. But James [Wan] was on as a producer, the conversation got started about an Easter Egg. It just kind of got away from itself. People loved that connection. But The Conjuring franchise is created by a team that’s been there since the beginning. It’s not really right to do an official spinoff without the full team. When we premiered it in Austin, it was mistakenly announced as ‘The next chapter in The Conjuring universe,' which sent waves of panic all the way through New Line. We didn’t want anyone to be offended. It was supposed to be just a wink and a nod. Not like we’re trying to steal your mojo or your brand.”

Dengan jawapan daripada Michael Chaves, dapatlah disimpulkan bahawa The Curse of La Llorona bukan sebahagian daripada dunia sinematik The Conjuring tetapi lebih kepada rujukan pengarah sebagai peminat filem tersebut sahaja. 

Ini bukanlah kali pertama kesinambungan antara filem menjadi bermasalah sebegini. Siri Marvel Studios di MCU juga sebelum ini dijaja sebagai berkait dengan dunia sinematik Marvel namun kini, ianya sudah lagi tidak berkait.
