Isabelle Fuhrman is returning to the role of a killer child this August when Orphan: First Kill finally hits theaters. The movie is a prequel to the beloved 2009’s hit Orphan, in which Fuhrman played a serial killer pretending to be a child.
This time around, the truth about Esther's secret may be out but there’s more to this psychotic young girl than meets the eye. So, what can we expect from Orphan: First Kill now that the first movie's big secret was already revealed? Well, for starters, Fuhrman is back to play a nine-year-old version of Leena, which is already wacky enough for us to go running to theaters.
Orphan: First Kill is directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside, The Boy), with a screenplay by David Coggeshall (The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia). The duo takes over the franchise after Jaume Collet-Serra (Black Adam) directed the first Orphan from a script by David Leslie Johnson (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It ). Fuhrman is the only cast member returning for the prequel, which also features Matthew Finlan, Rossif Sutherland, Hiro Kanagawa, and Morgan Giraudet.
Orphan: First Kill slashes its way to theaters and Paramount+ on August 19. In the meantime, watch the trailer below:
