Isabelle Fuhrman keeps vibe alive after returning in Orphan prequel 13 years later

Thirteen years down the line, Isabelle Fuhrman is being prepared to reclaim the character she played in a horrifying horror film, Orphan. She felt possession over character.

The actor, who played Esther in the movie, has tortured her adoptive family with increasingly crazed outbursts. She was actually a cunning adult lady with a disease that caused her to appear young when she made her debut film, Orphan, when she was just ten years old.

With the release of the new prequel, Orphan: First Kill, actor Fuhrman intends to surpass the audience's astonishment from 2009.

"I definitely didn't think I would ever be wearing those pigtails ever again," the now-25-year-old star talked to People magazine, adding:

"I also don't think I wanted to when I was a kid. I was terrified everyone was going to only see me in one way, that I was going to get typecast and I wouldn't have any sort of career."

Fuhrman said she took the role very "seriously" as a kid. She attempted the role once more, seizing the chance to enjoy herself more in the role.

"I had so much excitement and love for Esther that coming back to this weirdly felt like going home. It was the first movie I'd ever done, so it felt like this chapter in my life, and I got to revisit who I was when I was 10 years old playing this role," said the actress, who also appeared in The Hunger Games 10 years ago.

Further, she added: "I had to lean into the fact that it wasn't going to be exactly the same, but that I could find something new and fresh that would still be what it was and would have the same essence. Because if I played her before, of course I could do it again."

"I felt like I would be stupid not to come back and play this role — and I would be pissed if anybody else played Esther!" she quipped.

"I mean, I created her, she's mine. Obviously, I had so much help on the first movie with the look and all sorts of stuff, but her emotions and the essence of who she was was something that I created as a kid."

The actress remembered rejecting horror offers post-Orphan:

"I had to say no to a lot of scary movies that have done really well over the past couple of years because I've wanted to do something different and I've wanted to forge my own path in my career."

She mentioned, "It's been a struggle, honestly, at times, as I've grown in this industry to really kind of say no to projects that I would love to work on because of the fact that I know it would just keep me in that same world. I want to grow and stretch myself as an actress, as a person, and I can only do that through doing things that scare me or are uncomfortable or different."
