Producers Want Amy Adams For Guillermo Del Toro-Produced Horror Remake 'The Orphanage'
An English-language remake of Juan Antonio Bayona's The Orphanage has been in the works for a few years now, but it hit a rough patch in 2009 when would-be director Larry Fessenden exited the project after dealing with casting issues.
