The Orphan Coming In ‘09

Warner Bros. has announced that they are shifting The Orphan once again, from it’s November 6, 2009 release date to earlier, July 24, 2009 release date. The film is still set to be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who also directed House of Wax. If House of Wax is any indication, we’re in for a real treat when The Orphan is finally released. The film follows Kate Coleman, a young mother who is devastated by the loss of her baby, which has also resulted in her inability to conceive more children. Because of this, she and her husband John decide to fill the empty space in their hearts by adopting another child. They are unaware the child they adopt would turn out to be anything other than what they wanted. The film sounds like it will contain elements from The Omen and perhaps draw a bit of inspiration from House of Wax.

Currently there’s no word on who’s set to play the parts, but you can expect to hear more information soon. Hopefully Warner Bros. won’t decide the film can’t be completed by the new release date and push it back again. There have been enough delays related to this film already.
