According to director William Brent Bell (The Boy, Separation), "October is a great month to drop the trailer...", so it will probably drop on the 31st for Halloween. These pictures show Isabelle and her two body doubles on set (maybe because the law requires child actors to work less hours, and they filmed the whole thing in a month, so they needed two kids). Some locations include the Saarne Institue in Estonia, at least two different houses (one of which catches fire), and an airport.
According to Julia Stiles, who plays the mother in the movie, "they didn't use CGI [on Isabelle]. The tricks that they did with the camera and different perspective tricks that they had, plus her costume and prosthetics and all that, she looks like a child. And her performance is stunning, because she embodies a child too in the way that she talks and the way she walks." And yeah, what was good about Orphan was the twist, and this time we start the movie knowing who Esther really is, and what she's done. But Stiles also noted "I think fans of the first one will enjoy this one as well because there is a huge twist that I can't give away, but it's got all that crazy psychologically terrorizing stuff that the first one had." so there's something else in the climax that'll be as good as the reveal of Orphan, or so I hope.
Isabelle Fuhrman's most recent take about the movie was that "It was really cool to be back on that [Orphan: First Kill] set. I think people will be shocked by that story. It's very different from what most people would expect and Julia is absolutely incredible in it, and we had a lot of fun making the movie together. It's definitely a story about the two of us and our relationship, and Esther's way that she came to the United States and how she found herself there." She also mentions how she had to appear shorter than she actually was in scenes where they probably couldn't have one of the body doubles do: "The Novice helped me prepare for that movie because I spent the majority of [Orphan: First Kill] squatting since I had to walk around in a squat because I'm, you know, taller than the average 10-year-old."

For a picture she took on her phone with only the make-up and poor lighting, I think she looks younger already. With CGI touch-ups, forced perspective shots and the child actors, as well as professional lighting and post production, do you guys think they can actually pull this off?
