Stepan,

Vera stars in thriller movie "Orphan". This one comes with quite a twist.

Ahh, that might seem a bit more to my liking. When I see it, Ill let you know. Thanks.

For anyone interested:

Orphan (2009)

Kate and John Coleman are rebuilding their troubled marriage. Kate had a drinking problem, but is in therapy and is doing well. She has been sober for one year. The couple decides to adopt a child. When they meet the nine-year-old Russian girl, Esther, at the St. Marina Orphanage, they immediately fall in love with the well-educated orphan. Their young son, Daniel, is hostile to his new sister; but their deaf-mute daughter, little Max, is enchanted with her - at first. Eventually, Kate begins to feel that Esther is manipulative and possibly even psychologically disturbed. John refuses to listen to his wife's misgivings, and the wounds in their marriage reopen. Kate calls Sister Abigail at the orphanage, and the nun informs her that Esther has a troubled and mysterious history. Kate delves further into Esther's past and discovers she is not at all who she pretends to be.

One would think she would try to influence the plot and have the orphan be Ukrainian, no?

I personaly thought the movie orphan was funny.

But i didnt know Vera Farmiga was of ukrainian descent. Thats cool.

She was also in the movie "Nothing But The Truth" as a cia agent.

Lemko, the ending to "Orphan" did have a black comedic quality to it. I agree with you.

As to Vera, she is working actress and can be seen in many films. She is well liked in the industry and has a reputation for being a serious actress. She shows up on time, is always prepared and doesn't act the diva. Those qualities get you many screenplays delivered to your door.
