An American remake of the Spanish ghost story The Orphanage, originally slated to be helmed by Larry Fessenden, has now been handed over to director Mark Pellington, whose work includes the solid thrillers Arlington Road and The Mothman Prophecies. Guillermo del Toro is still attached as producer and has already co-written the script with Fessenden. No word yet on a release date, but with a director named, the ball seems to be rolling, and it could reasonably hit screens in 2011.
