Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are in final negotiations to star in The Conjuring, a supernatural thriller from New Line.
The casting will reteam Wilson with director James Wan, who directed the actor in Insidious, another supernatural creepfest that was one last year's most profitable movies.
In Conjuring, written by Chad and Carey Hayes,  Wilson and Farmiga will play a husband and wife team of demonologists  and psychic investigators who enter the most horrifying case of their  career, spirits in a Rhode Island farmhouse.
 The story is based on the real life tale of the Perron family and  their ordeals in the 1970s. When New Line acquired the pitch from the  Hayes, it included life rights to the Perron family and the paranormal  investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.
 A March shoot in North Caroline is being eyed.
