The Conjuring: Last Rites Trailer Scares the Warrens Out of Business
Eventually, Ed and Lorraine Warren had to stop investigating supernatural activity. And, in the first trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites, the basic premise is that this case was so, so bad, it was the reason they stopped.
Now, how true that specifically is, we aren't quite sure. But the trailer for the fourth and final Conjuring film starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as the married investigators sure makes a compelling case. The plot isn't quite on fully display but, from the casting, it sure seems as if the evil demons the Warrens fight on a daily basis have finally come for their own family.
In addition to Farmiga and Wilson, The Conjuring: Last Rites stars Mia Tomlinson as Ed and Lorraine's daughter Judy Warren and Ben Hardy as her boyfriend, Tony Spera. And if the demons are coming after Ed and Lorraine's kid, they are surely mighty pissed off about all the good they've been doing for humanity.
There are terrors throughout the trailer, but the scariest thing might be that this is being sold as the final Conjuring film centering on the Warrens. Because let's not forget, it was the first two films in this series, The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, that set the series up to be the most successful horror franchise in a modern history. The Conjuring films also gave us Annabelle and The Nun, both of which had their own sequels and continue to be lasting brands on their own. And while the third Conjuring film, The Devil Made Me Do It, wasn't quite as good as previous installments, you have to imagine everyone involved is going to go out with a bang this time around.
The Conjuring: Last Rites is directed by Michael Chaves, who did Conjuring 3 and Nun 2, and once again produced by franchise architects James Wan and Peter Safran. It opens September 5. Here's the poster.

Shaq Announces He's Not Watching Rest of NBA Finals
The Oklahoma City Thunder played a complete game from start to finish on Sunday evening, tying the NBA Finals at one game apiece with the Indiana Pacers. The Thunder were able to defend their home court with a dominant performance on both sides of the ball, getting their first win of the series after their thrilling and dramatic Game 1 loss. Advertisement The Finals have delivered on the hype so far, with stars like Tyrese Haliburton and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander putting up big numbers and making iconic moments. Basketball fans are eagerly awaiting the next game in the series, but one former NBA champion says he won't be watching. After the Thunder tied the series on Sunday night, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith joined NBA TV for post game coverage. O'Neal took the opportunity to express his gratitude that he could leave after Game 2, as Charles Barkley would join post game coverage for the next two games in Indiana. 'Indiana stole one. I'm just glad it's not the old format, that 2-3-2. Remember that format? That 2-3-2? So now we have a series. I won't even be watching,' O'Neal admitted. Advertisement The old Finals format would have resulted in three straight games in Indiana, which could have had adverse effects on Oklahoma City - the higher seed - playing three straight games on the road. 'I'm gonna be in the Bahamas," O'Neal said. His fellow panelists reminded him that he could still watch the game from his vacation, but he doubled down. 'Not in the ocean,' O'Neal said, affirming his stance. Some fans were able to enjoy O'Neal's candor as a funny moment, but some have expressed concern and outrage about how he's covered the league this season. Earlier this year, O'Neal admitted to not watching the Detroit Pistons despite the fact that they were a playoff team and had been one of the most compelling stories in basketball. Advertisement O'Neal, Barkley, Smith and Ernie Johnson will be heading to ESPN next year for a revival of "Inside the NBA." The show has come under fire for the lack of actual basketball analysis from some, but O'Neal's comments seem to indicate that more of the same could be on the way, even at a new network.

American Black Film Festival Partners With the Art in Black Foundation to Introduce The South African Collective
EXHIBITION TO DEBUT JUNE 12–14 DURING ABFF IN MIAMI BEACH MIAMI BEACH, Fla., June 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The American Black Film Festival (ABFF) is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with the Art in Black Foundation to present The South African Collective—a debut curatorial art exhibition spotlighting five dynamic visual artists from South Africa. The exhibit, open exclusively to festival attendees, will be on view during ABFF, taking place June 12–14, 2025, at the New World Center in Miami Beach. The catalog of available artwork is HERE. Curated by Allana Foster Finley of Cur8Africa, The South African Collective is the inaugural fine art initiative of the Art in Black Foundation—founded by Ellis Friday, a visionary young creative committed to cultural connection, with support from his parents, Nicole and Jeff Friday. This curated experience marks an evolution in ABFF's programming, expanding the festival's cultural offerings to include global visual art in dialogue with Black film, media, and storytelling. The idea for this collaboration was born during an immersive art tour through South Africa led by curator Allana Foster Finley and attended by Jeff Friday. Inspired by the depth of artistic talent and cultural expression, the journey laid the foundation for what would become this inaugural showcase. "This exhibition is an exciting step forward in ABFF's mission to uplift global Black creatives," said Jeff Friday, founder of ABFF. "We are proud to provide a platform where African art and cinematic storytelling can exist in conversation, inspiring deeper cultural connection." Featured Artists: Steve Maphoso - A self-taught Angolan-born artist, Maphoso blends acrylic and charcoal to create emotionally resonant portraits. His current series centers on twin boys guided by ancestral intention, exploring themes of migration, ritual, and brotherhood through symbolic narrative and layered abstraction. Thabiso Dakamela - With roots in Venda and Ndebele heritage, Dakamela's Afrocentric work examines identity and emotion. His expressive style—often rendered in powerful blues—has earned national recognition, and his DKS Project House supports emerging artists in South Africa. Assan Taylor - Known for textured portraits combining oil, charcoal, gold leaf, and found materials, Taylor's work bridges tradition and innovation. His bold, multilayered pieces reflect the vibrancy of contemporary Southern African culture and human connection. Siyabonga Mlambi - Originating from South Africa's Eastern Cape, Mlambi's art is deeply rooted in Nguni tradition and modern innovation. His unique style, Khanda-Art Superblur African Synthetic Cubism, employs fabric, stones, and mixed media to evoke unity, imagination, and spiritual energy. Ayanda Moyo - A Zimbabwean artist whose work in charcoal and acrylic explores identity and culture, Moyo's emotionally rich paintings invite deep reflection on the shared human experience through bold, expressive techniques. Together, these artists bring their individual perspectives to a collective narrative that intersects visual art with the broader mission of ABFF—celebrating and amplifying Black stories worldwide.
