What's left behind the scenes
- The original title of the film was “Orphan”.
- In an earlier version of the script, Esther sang Doris Day’s song “Que Sera, Sera”.
- Filming was originally scheduled to begin as early as December 2007 in Toronto.
- Isabelle Fuhrman auditioned for the role of Lilith Sullivan in the film "Case 39" (2007), which has a very similar theme to "Orphan".
- In the script, Esther is a girl with fair skin, delicate features, and platinum blonde hair. Isabelle Fuhrman did not fit this description at all, but the film crew was so impressed with her audition that they decided to cast her in the role.
- A sign next to the school entrance of Esther and Daniel reads: "R.J. Gilbert Elementary School" – this is a reference to the film's production manager, Ronald Gilbert.
- Ariana انجینیر celebrated her seventh birthday on the set of the film "Orphan". The entire cast and crew threw her a big party.
- Following numerous complaints from adoptive parents and orphanages, Warner Brothers was forced to remove from the film's trailer a scene in which Esther says that it is harder for parents to love adopted children than their own. However, this episode is present in the film itself.
- The photograph of the Saarna Institute in the newspaper is a photograph of Alma College, named after St. Thomas (Ontario, Canada). The building burned down on May 28, 2008.
- Director Jaume Collet-Serra decided to spend only one or two takes on the scene where Esther says an obscenity to Kate, so the girl wouldn't have to swear repeatedly.
- The author of the Kate-related articles on children's mental deviations is Isabelle Côté. She is the film's graphic designer.
- The scene where Kate records and plays music on the piano was actually longer. And when Vera Farmiga, who is herself an experienced pianist, learned that director Jaume Collet-Serra had decided to cut part of it, she was furious. Nevertheless, Vera thought the full version would be released on DVD, but that didn't happen either.
