Originally founded in 1934, legendary British film studio Hammer has delivered a hugely successful run of films over the years including Dracula, Frankenstein Created Woman, One Million Years B.C. and The Vampire Lovers. Not in production since the 1980s, Hammer marked their return to features in 2010 with the release of the critically acclaimed Let Me In. In 2011, Hammer released Antti Jokinen’s The Resident starring Hilary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hammer legend Sir Christopher Lee. Today sees the UK release of The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe.
Simon Oakes took the time to sit down with Cinetalk in a roundtable discussion to talk about the future of Hammer, the possible re-boot of The Quatermass Experiment and the making of The Woman in Black.

There are two things in this world that are truly terrifying, birds (I blame Hitchcock) and creepy toys; The Woman in Black has both of these things and uses them to full effect. An atmospheric, tension builder that places importance on both the story and the scares that will make you jump out of your seat (or close your eyes a lot)…
Trailer : The Woman in Black.
Harry Potter is all grow’d up and now its time for him to start making some grown up films I guess. Here he stars in The Woman in Black, an adaptation of the Susan Hill Novel.
He plays a young lawyer who travels to a remote village to organize a recently deceased client’s papers, where he discovers the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance.
