There’ll Be No De-Aging Jump Scares in ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’

The upcoming film "The Conjuring: Last Rites" will feature a different approach to depicting the younger versions of the main characters. Instead of using de-aging technology, the filmmakers have opted to cast younger actors to portray the younger versions of Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson's characters. This decision is seen as a departure from the common practice of using de-aging techniques, which can sometimes result in uncanny or unsettling "jump scare" moments for the audience. By casting younger actors, the filmmakers aim to provide a more natural and seamless transition between the different age representations of the characters. The choice to avoid de-aging is being praised as a refreshing and innovative approach, allowing the audience to engage with the story without the potential distraction of unconvincing digital effects. This move underscores the filmmakers' commitment to providing an authentic and immersive experience for the audience.
