Case 39 is a 2009 American or Canadian horror thriller film directed by Christian Alvart and stars Renée Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, and Ian McShane. The film was shot in Vancouver in late 2006, and was initially scheduled for American cinematic release in August 2008, but was delayed twice before a final release date of October 1, 2010, though it has already been released in the UK on March 5, 2010.Social worker Emily Jenkins as Renée Zellweger is assigned to investigate the family of 10-year-old Lillith Sullivan as Jodelle Ferland, as her grades have declined and an emotional rift with her parents has emerged. Emily suspects that the parents have been abusing Lillith, and proposes to her department to take the child away from her parents' custody. Emily's fears are confirmed when Lillith's parents try to kill her by roasting her in the oven at their home. Emily saves Lillith with the help of Detective Mike Barron as Ian McShane. Lillith is originally sent to a children's home but she begs Emily to look after her instead. With the agreement of the board, Emily is assigned to take care of Lillith until a suitable foster family comes along. In the meantime, Lillith's parents Callum Keith Rennie and Kerry O'Malley are placed in a mental institution.
