Hammer Films who recently made The Resident and Let Me In will be turning Susan Hill's novel The Woman In Black into full feature. It was previously made into TV film in the UK. It's interesting since the film will be Hammer's first new era 3D project.
The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps, who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in the client’s isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true intent.
James Watkins (Eden Lake) will direct the film.
The film will be written by screenwriter Jane Goldman who is best known for adapting Neil Gamain's Stardust and Mark Millar's Kick Ass.
