‘Orphan: First Kill’ releasing on August 19

‘Orphan: First Kill’ is finally coming to screens, with Esther wrapped in velvet ribbons and spattered with blood as she practices her role as the dutiful daughter of unsuspecting parents, reports Collider.

Thirteen years after Orphan was released, audiences will finally get to know the story behind the childlike woman who would kill for a family. The upcoming prequel may be, as it parallels a real life story of stolen identity.

The film has been officially set for release on August 19. According to the latest information, the movie will be releasing in theatres, on Paramount+, and on digital on the same date.

Although the first film ‘Orphan’(2009) ended with Esther being killed by the Colemans, ‘First Kill’ is set to turn back the clock to focus on the story of Esther’s (whose real name is Leena Klammer) first victims. The film follows Leena as she impersonates Esther Albright, the missing daughter of the couple Tricia and Allen (Julia Stiles and Rossif Sutherland), and sows discord between the two as Katie grows suspicious of the child.

The trailer reveals how the film pulls off the trick, with Kennedy Irwin serving as a body double for the actor.
