Amy Adams may star in The Orphanage remake for New Line
Amy Adams will portray Laura if she officially signs on, a young woman who returns to the orphanage where she was raised, to turn the facility into a home for mentally-disabled children. Her young son begins to encounter the same demon which tormented Laura many years ago. Belén Rueda starred in the Spanish version of The Orphanage.
This project has been percolating for several years, after the Spanish-language horror classic The Orphanage hit theaters in late 2007. Mark Pellington came on board to direct The Orphanage back in January 2010. He will direct from a screenplay by Guillermo del Toro and Larry Fessenden.
It isn't known when production may begin on The Orphanage remake yet.
The Orphanage comes to theaters in 2013. The film is directed by Mark Pellington.

I'm interested to see how this goes down. I love Del Toro.

@aoshi I'm sure you're right. Sigh.

@dan1 I'm sure the only reason there hasn't been (yet) a remake of Pan's Labyrinth is that it was successful in the U.S. and lots of Americans have seen it.

I don't know about this. I'm kinda not going with it, because Don't Be Afraid of the Dark sucked balls. Maybe if Guillermo del Toro directed it, then I'd be more interested.

I love Amy Adams, but f*ck this idea. Next we'll be hearing about the Pan's Labyrinth remake....

Another film that does not need to be remade and will probably fall short in its "Americanized" version.

@aoshi Definitely. I haven't seen Pan's Labyrinth in god knows when. I'll surely be checking them out lately.

Jesus Christ, isn't Hollywood ashamed of itself? It's like the rest of the world has to give it the ideas now.
@ROFLitschristian it's better than Pan's Labyrinth, and actually has a similar ending (won't go into what is similar). That said, I wasn't blown away by Pan's Labyrinth, except for the ending that kicked ass. All in all, El Orfanato was a good movie, you should watch it.

Never saw the original but if it's anything like Pan's Labyrinth then I'm in.

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx Del Toro really likes Houses with disturbed kids

It doesn't even need to be made, but I'm interested in how it might go. I don't think Amy Adams will fit the role completely, albeit this is the American version. Hard to say..
