Belén Rueda in The Orphanage (2007)

FAQ

The Orphanage

FAQ



    Although New Line Cinema purchased English-language remake rights, the project has since gone into "development hell," a term used to refer to a stage in a film's development during which any number of issues cause the film's production to be placed on indefinite hold. In the case of "The Orphanage," New Line has been unable to find a director with which it is satisfied.
