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.
