With a marketing campaign with engines now running, the sequel to prequel mode of The Orphan (2009) officially titled Orphan: First Killreveals the first official full trailer, which warns us that the return of Esther (with Isabelle Fuhrman retaking his leading role) is full of old tricks and new victims.
In the trailer, released by the official accounts of Paramount Movies, which acquired the rights to distribute in the domestic market, it is confirmed that the film will be opening in select theaters, Digital and Paramount+ on August 19, 2022.
The plot of the prequel directed by William Brent Bell (Brahms: The Boy II) will explore the origins of the character. And since it is a prequel in which the actress must appear younger than she is, and thirteen years have passed since the launch of the one known in our country as The orphan, One of the main doubts that afflicted the followers was knowing how the production would handle the signing of Fuhrman, who is now 23 years old, because he must seem like a girl in history. It was previously said that the filmmakers would use a combination of forced perspective filming and a world-class makeup team. We see the impressive results in the preview, where it is shown how the combination of tricks and technology managed to reduce the age of the actress’s physical appearance, to convince us of the age that she represents in the story.
Here are some images to prove it:
