Update (via Hollywood Reporter): “Director Guillermo del Toro is gearing up to produce a remake of the Spanish-language film The Orphanage. According to Variety, New Line is in advanced negotiations to produce this new American version.

The film’s plot revolves around a woman who returns to run the orphanage where she was raised.
