The Woman in Black

[corby]

Produced by Talisman Films in association with Hammer Films. Directed by James Watkins and starring Daniel Radcliffe.

The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), 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.

I'm interested to see how this turns out.

Might be good. With Hammer no longer having a distribution deal in the states with Overture going under, I guess we'll see this dtv like the movie they made with Hiliroy Swank.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

Ah, man. And I thought this was the new name for Men In Black III!

Just kidding, I didn't.

 

[Liam_H]

Certainly interested to see what Radcliffe does now that Potter has finished...teaser trailer.

[Sawyer]

Creepy stuff.

 

[Kurosawa]

I will see this, one way or another. Hope Hammer gets some sort of distribution deal.

 

[Doctor Jones]

That was a very good trailer.

 

[Wolfwood]

That was a well done trailer, I'm just hoping I can shake the image of him as Harry Potter.

 

[danoyse]

Damn, this looks good.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

that last shot of daniel radcliff in the window with the ghost coming up behinh him, damn that gave me a chill lol.

 

[Donut]

Wow if Dan keeps picking good stuff like this then he is going to have one hell of a career

 

[Prison Mike]

The trailer looks good. I'm in.

 

[scifiwolf]

Is anyone else surprised at how easy it is to see Dan and not Harry? I think he's going to actually escape that pitfall and have quite a career, as Donut said.

 

[Prison Mike]

I almost didn't recognize him.

I saw him on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying a few months ago...I had so much fun watching him play that character that I totally forgot he was also Harry Potter. He's really talented.

 

[O'Haire]

Really good trailer. Movie has a nice look and tone to it. Hope it ends up being as creepy as the trailer.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Creepy little girls speaking nursery rhymes are always good for atmosphere.

 

[cabel]

he does rock that suit pretty well

 

[Marvolo]

I will be watching this.

If they do, it'll probably be something akin to a Marvel Studios/Paramount deal -- Hammer makes the movies while CBS Films markets and distributes.

In any case, the movie looks both classy and creepy. I think it'll be a nice post-Potter film for Mr. Radcliffe, and glad to see CBS Films is doing the right thing by giving it a nationwide release. Perhaps with the early February date, I think CBS Films is hoping to catch some of that money Universal got when they released the costly Wolfman remake. A $50-60M haul would be a nice result for both Hammer and CBS.

 

[Hurm...]

This looks marvelous. Shat a few bricks too.

 

[Spideyfan93]

Holy Balls!

 

[Asgard]

Creepy.

 

[DACrowe]

They've done a great job of adapting the London play's creepy atmosphere. I saw it on stage over ten years ago and the ending still gives me chills when I think about it. Hope they do it justice.

 

[The Englishman]

Is this film set in England or America. I thought it was set in England but the girl in the trailer sounds American. If its set in the states and Radcliffe is playing an American then can he do a good accent?? Anyway give me more Hammer Horror!!!
