Isabelle Fuhrman, the creepy little girl from ORPHAN and costar of THE HUNGER GAMES, will don the ballet slippers once worn by Jessica Harper. Fuhrman is only 15 years old but has definitely shed the creepy kid factor and looks like she has the body type to...

I.. what?

So it was fairly certain that the film would get a sequel. The director, Rupert Wyatt and writers on the first committed to the second installment which would see the apes set to become society's new rulers.
