Because shooting movies in three dimensions is quickly becoming the film industry’s BFF (that’s Best Friends Forever, in case you’re over the age of 12 and/or aren’t an avid watcher of the Disney Channel. Don’t judge me!), the recently-reanimated Hammer Films is joining the cool kids’ table by shooting a 3D picture of their own.
The Woman in Black – based on the novel of the same name by Susan Hill – will tell the story of Arthur Kipps, a lawyer who travels to the home of a recently-deceased client to sort out some papers. Oh, yes, and the house might be haunted. Because that’s the sort of thing you have to deal with when you become a lawyer (little known fact: the Ghostbusters were fantastic lawyers; they could have gotten Charles Manson off with just a warning, and still would have had time to vacuum up some ghosts, that’s how good they were).
Hill’s story is considered a classic by some and has been made into a TV movie, a radio broadcast and a successful stage play in the U.K.
James Watkins (of Eden Lake fame) has been signed on to direct, while Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Stardust) will be adapting the story for the big screen. Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee will be executive producing. Production is scheduled to begin in fall of this year.
