Pajiba is reporting that Rachel McAdams is attached to two horror films right now. First up on the list, and the one that already has Guillermo Del Toro fans crying bloody murder, is a remake of 2007s Spanish-language horror film, The Orphanage.
As we reported in January, hack director Mark Pellington (Henry Poole Is Here, The Mothman Prophecies) is sitting in the directors chair, which means Del Toros executive producer title is pretty meaningless and we cant imagine hell be looking over this film too carefully considering hell be full of hobbits in a couple of months. McAdams is apparently eyeing the lead role who brings her family back to her childhood home, that she turns into an orphanage, and that is subsequently haunted by the same specter that she encountered as a child. Sandra Bullock was apparently attached to the lead role sometime last fall, but considering shes now an Oscar winner, were guessing her rates just went up.
The other film McAdams is circling is an adaptation of the Shirley Jackson novel, We Have Always Lived In The Castle. The 1962 novel revolves around the Blackwood Family — two sisters and their uncle — forced into seclusion after the poisoning of several of their family members. Complications arise when a dubious long lost cousin arrives to secure the family fortune. McAdams would apparently join Saoirse Ronan to play the sisters, while Michael Douglas (who is also producing) would play their uncle.
