Director Mark Pellington moves from Arlington Road to The Orphanage remake

Variety reports that director Mark Pellington, whose credits include Arlington Road, The Mothman Prophecies, some episodes of Cold Case, and Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" video, is in talks to remake The Orphanage en ingles. The 2007 Spanish-language original is a haunted-house story about a woman who returns to the seaside orphanage she grew up in and transforms it into a home for disabled children. Things get scary when her adopted son goes missing and she begins receiving visits from Tomas, her son’s masked “imaginary” friend and the creepiest kid in cinema history.
