[UPDATED] Theatrical trailer for Juan Antonio Bayona's THE ORPHANAGE (EL ORFANATO)

[UPDATE: The theatrical trailer for The Orphanage has been removed from the Spanish official website for the movie; however, ScreenAnarchy -- in association with GOMORRAHY.com -- is still providing a large (600 x 279) QuickTime version of it, and a small (320 x 240) Flash Video version of it was added yesterday to MySpace. (This article was originally posted on July 12th.)]

A theatrical trailer for Juan Antonio Bayona's The Orphanage (El orfanato) has just been added to the Spanish official website for the movie. Also, the French official website for the movie is online.

The Orphanage had its world première at the 46th International Critics' Week (46e Semaine Internationale de la Critique -- "SIC" for short) in Cannes on May 20th. It's set to have its North American première at the 32nd Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), which runs from September 6th to 15th. Warner Bros. Entertainment España S.L. is scheduled to release it theatrically in Spain on October 11th. Picturehouse Inc. is tentatively scheduled to release it theatrically in the U.S. on December 28th.

The screenplay for The Orphanage was written by Sergio G. Sánchez. The movie stars (listed order corresponds to order on cast page of Spanish official website) Belén Rueda as Laura, Geraldine Chaplin as Aurora, Fernando Cayo as Carlos, Mabel Rivera as Pilar, Montserrat Carulla as Benigna, Andrés Gertrúdix as Enrique, Edgar Vivar as Balabán, and Roger Príncep as Simón.

Here's a synopsis for The Orphanage from the production: "Laura spent the happiest years of her childhood growing up in an orphanage by the seaside, cared for by the staff and fellow orphans whom she loved as brothers and sisters. Now, thirty years later, she returns with her husband Carlos and Simon, their 7-year-old son, with a dream of restoring and reopening the long-abandoned orphanage as a home for disabled children. The new home and mysterious surroundings awaken Simon's imagination, and the boy starts to spin a web of fantastic tales and not-so-innocent games... a troubling web that begins to disturb Laura, drawing her into the child's strange universe which resonates with echoes of long-forgotten, deeply unsettling memories of her own childhood. As the opening day draws near, tension builds within the family. Carlos remains sceptical, believing that Simon is making everything up in a desperate bid for attention. But Laura slowly becomes convinced that something long-hidden and terrible is lurking in the old house, something waiting to emerge and inflict appalling damage on her family."
