Trailer - This Summer's Creepy Kid Movie, 'Orphan'

Yeah, I realize that it's a bit like The Good Son, the 1990s flick with Macaulay Culkin as an evil kid, but I have a feeling Orphan might be a little more intense. Even though we don't have a rating for it yet, it could certainly get an R rating, although I don't know if Warner Bros. and DiCaprio's Appian Way are really looking to go down that road this summer. That's not a necessity; after all, The Ring was a really good PG-13 frightfest with a young girl providing most of the scares. And if you look at the box office numbers this year, it's been better suited to PG-13 horror over those more graphic R-rated titles. I like the cast - Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard as parents who adopt nine-year-old Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) after an unsuccesssful pregnancy leaves a void in their lives. So here's the trailer, in which little Esther hates not getting her way. I wonder how much Warner will put behind this one since it comes out the week after the studio's biggest film of the year (Harry Potter). Of course, that makes me wonder why July 24th was such an important destination for this one. It could've played just about anywhere.
