Tragedy seems to follow nine-year-old Esther. She was orphaned in her native Russia. Her last adoptive family perished in a fire Esther barely escaped. But now the Coleman has adopted her, and life is good. Until a classmate takes a serious fall from a slide. Until an orphanage nun is battered to death. And until Esthers new mom wonders if that tragic fire was an accident. From Dark Castle Productions comes "Orphan", bringing stunning new twists to the psychological thriller and locking audience in a tightening vise of mystery, suspicion and terror. "Orphan" was produced by Joel Silver and Susan Downey of Dark Castle Entertainment and Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran of Appian Way Productions. It turns out that Esther isn't a 9-year-old girl at all, but a 33-year-old woman named Leena Klammer. She has hypopituitarism, a disorder that stunted her physical growth and has resulted in her spending most of her adult life posing as a little girl. Leena has made a habit of moving into families as an adopted "child" and ultimately attempting to seduce the father, whom she kills along with the rest of the family after his inevitable rejection. She also has mostly developed breasts, an adult figure and dentures to cover her hideous adult teeth. The film was mostly shot in Canada, in the cities of Toronto, Port Hope and Montreal. Also, some portions were shot in the American state of Connecticut. The movie was released theatrically in the United States on July 24, 2009 and it was No. 4 at the box office for its opening weekend.
