'It's definitely rumbling': Isabelle Fuhrman provides Orphan 3 update
Isabelle Fuhrman says 'Orphan 3' is "definitely rumbling".
The third film in the horror franchise was greenlit by Lionsgate in November, with Fuhrman, 28, set to reprise her role as Esther - who is actually escaped Estonian psychiatric patient Leena Klammer, a woman with a rare hormonal disorder that gives her the appearance of a 10-year-old child - while director William Brent Bell and 'Orphan: First Kill' writer David Coggeshall also due to return for the upcoming movie.
The lead star insisted it's still "early stages" but she is hopeful they will get to make the new instalment.
Speaking to ScreenRant, she said: "It's early stages, but it's definitely rumbling. I just went to my first horror convention, I think it was two or three weeks ago, and it was so cool to meet so many fans of Orphan. People dressed up came from all over to see me, and to talk to me about the movie, and ask questions. For me, it feels like such a great thing to make another film for the fans, because they seem to really want it. I would love to do it, and the script that I read was fantastic. So, I hope that we get to make the movie. Everything is always in stages, takes some time, but it would be great. It would be really, really great."
While plot details and a release date are yet to be announced, Lionsgate confirmed Dark Caste Entertainment would be producing the picture.
In a statement, Dark Castle co-CEO Norman Golightly said: 'Dark Castle is excited to announce another terrifying chapter in the 'Orphan' saga.
'With the past success of the first two movies and another thrilling storyline, we are confident that 'Orphan 3' will be a must-see movie for both current fans of the franchise, and new fans alike.'
After debuting in 2009, the series went on hiatus until the prequel 'Orphan: First Kill' was released 13 years later.
Previously, Fuhrman said she loved playing the disturbed character in the first film, and was pleasantly surprised to be asked back for the 2022 prequel given she had aged out of the role.
The 'Horizon: An American Saga' actress told Variety: 'It was actually Brent who put his foot down and was like, 'I'm only doing it if Isabel is Esther.'
'He forced the studio to do a camera test with me where I was standing on my knees and they put my hair in pigtails and it was the weirdest day because it was like height of COVID and I hadn't been on a set since COVID, and I didn't know who I was working with. But obviously, it worked.'
Fuhrman added she was shocked by the plot twist in 'First Kill', where it is revealed that the real Ester had died, and a young woman Leena had replaced her in her foster family.
The actress said: 'I loved the twist because this is something that everybody expects when they see a sequel or a prequel, for it to rehash exactly what you knew about the last one.. And all of a sudden, it just flips everything on its head.'

Soccer legend David Beckham to receive a knighthood
David Beckham is to receive a knighthood. The former England player celebrated his 50th birthday on May 2, and on Thursday it was revealed that he will be confirmed as Sir in The King's Birthday Honours list next week. David has been married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham - with whom he has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Seven - since 1999 and The Sun also reported she will become known as Lady Victoria Beckham once her husband is knighted. According to the outlet, David "narrowly missed out" on receiving a knighthood in 2024, and the honour instead went to former England manager Gareth Southgate. In 2003, he was given an OBE by Queen Elizabeth for services to football. The former Premier League star has a long history of charitable work, which Honours Committee officials will have considered before deciding to bestow him with the honour. At the time, he said: "I'm excited to be working with The King's Foundation and to have the opportunity to help raise awareness of the charity's work. "I've always been keen to help young people to expand their horizons and I'm particularly looking forward to supporting the Foundation's education programmes and its efforts to ensure young people have greater access to nature. In 2024, David was made an ambassador for The King's Foundation- which aims to teach and demonstrate in practice those principles of traditional urban design and architecture - and at the time he admitted that it was an "inspiring" experience for him. He said: "Having developed a love for the countryside I'm also on a personal mission to learn more about rural skills which is so central to the Foundation's work. "It was inspiring to hear from The King about the work of His Majesty's Foundation during my recent visit to Highgrove Gardens — and compare beekeeping tips." Prior to that, he worked with the Chelsea Pensioners amid the COVID-19 lockdowns and was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador more than two decades ago. David Beckham is to receive a knighthood.

‘We've got a pretty good story': John Wick director Chad Stahelski teases Chapter 5
Chad Stahelski has a "pretty good story" for John Wick: Chapter 5. After the titular hitman's apparent death in 2023's John Wick: Chapter 4, Lionsgate has greenlit a fifth outing for Keanu Reeves' assassin, and Stahelski, 56, has teased the script he and scribe Mike Finch wrote is coming along nicely - though will only go ahead with the movie if they "crack" the story. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter about continuing John Wick's story after his supposed end in Chapter 4, the filmmaker said: "I'm not going to lie to you, it's a bit of a conundrum. Me and Mike Finch — the writer on 4 who's also writing 5 — we've got a pretty good story that I think is cool. Once we have a 50-page book, and if we're feeling it, we'll sit with Keanu and shape this thing. "Look, everybody seems to want it. It's a matter of whether we crack it. We're actively working on it. It's just … is it going to be satisfying?" Stahelski added that while Lionsgate wants John Wick: Chapter 5, the sequel isn't locked in just yet. He explained: "The studio would very much will it into existence, I'm sure, at some point. Look, they've been great and they've asked us to really try and we have a really good couple of ideas and we're going to try." The filmmaker added that even if John Wick: Chapter 5 ultimately doesn't come to fruition, he and his creative team will likely discover plenty of other ideas that could be reworked for a spin-off in the process of developing the movie, such as the Ana de Armas-starring Ballerina. Stahelski said: "If we go down the road of John Wick 5 and build this story and decide this isn't right, there are probably going to be 10 other things we'll discover that we'll use for other things. "It's a great creative exercise. It's being in the room riffing with people we love. That's nothing but wins." Ballerina - which also stars Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, Lorenza Izzo, Anjelica Huston and the late Lance Reddick - follows Eve Maccaro, a deadly assassin who seeks vengeance for her family's murder and unleashes her fury against those who wronged her. The film is also set to include John Wick as an adversary of Macarro's, though Stahelski revealed this wasn't always in the plan, and he was initially "kind of against" bringing in Reeves' assassin. He explained: "That wasn't in the original script. To be honest, I was kind of against it. But I do see the benefit and we wanted to help out [director Len Wiseman]. "We had just opened John Wick 4 and it was huge. He couldn't go back to the model of the first John Wick and do a little $18 million indie thing and try to build it up. "In order to stay in the same game, you got to give him a fighting chance. And the easiest way to transfer that over — at least, from the studio point of view — was have Wick in Ballerina in a special timeline."

Hugh's ex ‘disturbed' by new flame's shock act before split
Hugh Jackman's ex-wife was left 'extremely disturbed' by the actions of his now-girlfriend Sutton Foster in the lead up to her marriage breaking down, it has been revealed. An insider claims Broadway star Foster attempted to befriend Deborra-Lee Furness — even proposing to go on double dates with her and Hugh. Furness, 69, is reportedly furious with Foster's bid to get close and now, in hindsight, sees it as a red flag. She 'cannot forgive' Foster, the insider said, and wants her to accept her share of the blame for the break-up. 'The fact that Sutton used to go on double dates and tried so hard to befriend Deb is extremely disturbing to her,' the insider told the Daily Mail. 'She will never have anything to do with Sutton. 'Deb is friends with Sutton's ex and they both share a deep sense of betrayal.' Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness in happier times. Credit: Kristian Dowling / Getty Images Jackman and Furness announced their shock split two years ago. Foster filed for divorce from her screenwriter husband Ted Griffen last year. It is believed Jackman and Furness' marriage began to unravel during COVID and collapsed after Jackman and Foster starred together in the hit Broadway revival of The Music Man from 2021 to 2023. Furness filed for divorce on May 23 and has since been open about her heartbreak. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said in a statement released to Daily Mail. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us.'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' Furness is now reportedly planning to publish a tell-all 'divorce diary'. 'Deb's been desperate to have her side of the story out there,' a source told Woman's Day. 'She's been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce. 'As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.' Jackman is yet to release a statement about the divorce but is believed to be 'extremely disappointed' in Furness' allegations about 'betrayal'.
