While it is not easy to generate a prequel knowing that in advance the public already knows the twist and the outcome of the main character, according to some sources and observing the absurdity of the trailer, it seems that The Orphan: The Origin will shoot what we could. see in the first movie.

And it is that one of the biggest challenges was convincing Isabel Furhman, after 13 years, to play a child character again, and all without using CGI or laborious digital tricks. This was achieved through forced perspectives and complex camera tricks, added to the costumes and lightweight prosthetics, which made Isabel look like a child again.

If the challenge for Furhman in the first part was to play an adult pretending to be a girl, now at 25 the assignment takes a 180-degree turn of having to play a girl now that she is an adult. This is how the actress describes it through the source Collider :

I was there [filmando] everyday. I know how we did it. I know all the tricks and at the moment I’m very disturbed, because somehow I’m nine again and it doesn’t make any sense, “says the actress.
