Director The Nun, Corin Hardy, tells a "surprising" ghost story

An ancient fortress in the Transylvanian region served as a place of residence for the abbey cloistered in the film, haunted by a woman seriously impious. One scene in particular is the young sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) sailing in a long corridor of the cross. Hardy says that his imagination was unleashed when he read in the script on a sinister long tunnel with hundreds of crucifixes in the script "with a kind of door at the end with a message written on it, surrounded by these crosses. who have obviously been placed there to keep something or to prevent something from happening.

"I was just smiling and laughing a lot of time," he adds, "because I hoped it would happen when I would sketch it in my sketchbook and now there is a real demon. "

What Hardy did not know was the place with his own spectators. The story goes that he was sitting in an old cell along the corridor while the camera was rolling. At first, he noticed two guys in the shade, thinking that they were only random crew members, and after about half an hour of taking, Hardy turned to ask them what they thought about it and no one was there.

"I'm a real lover of all of this, but I'm also quite skeptical about what I've experienced and therefore what I believe," says Hardy. "It was a particularly surprising and haunting moment, but it also happened in a day's work and I did not really have time to stop and leave, I have to take a break. I just met Romanian ghosts. "

Right now, Hardy remembers forgetting his ghostly encounter, "he told people later and their skin became stung. They were like, "What ?! It just happened today and you have not said anything about it? "

Now, he just wants to make room for the public, and when he saw Valak in "The Conjuring 2," Hardy knew she had a terrifying potential.

"Even though it is scary and in this demonic case, there is something exciting in the prospect of being able to tell a story around (something with) malice," says Hardy. "I grew up loving monster movies and whether it's vampires, zombies or whatever, I'm always looking for things you have not seen or that will surprise you."
