What started as a rumor now is a reality; Orphan is having a prequel. Despite the mixed reviews that the film has for many years fans have been waiting for this moment.

It’s common to find fan-art posters about a sequel and even fan trailers in YouTube. But less be real, a direct sequel would just make sense if they used the “alternate ending” that is featured on the DVD.

In this ending Leena never makes it to the lake. Instead she becomes Esther again, covering her scars and wearing her clothes, and encounters the police that is entering the house. She does her good girl act while having her face full of cuts from the glass where she felt on. This is a more open ending than the original and using it could have opened the possibility of a sequel.
