The Woman In Black Film Sequel Will Be Set During WWII

The Woman in Black posterThe Woman In Black sequel will take place during World War II, 40 years on from the action of the first film. Screenwriter Jon Croker has teamed up with author Susan Hill to develop the much-anticipated sequel for Hammer Films, The Woman in Black: Angels of Death, which will have a brand new cast.

"We are proud and honored to be working with Susan again on The Woman in Black: Angels Of Death, a wonderful new tale every bit as atmospheric and terrifying as its predecessor," commented Hammer Films president Simon Oakes.

According to Empire online, the haunted Eel Marsh House - where the action of the first movie was set - is seized by the British government and turned into a military psychiatric ward in the new film. The sequel's protagonist will be called Eve, a nurse sent to work with the disturbed patients and has to fight to save them from the evil black-clad presence. No director or cast have been lined-up as yet.

The first film starred Daniel Radcliffe as a lawyer who uncovers a terrifying secret in Eel Marsh House. The film - which was directed by James Watkins and written by Jane Goldman - has grossed $127 million worldwide to date since its release in February 2012.

Skyfall Budget Cuts Mean UK Shoot

Daniel Craig filming SkyfallJames Bond movie Skyfall is to shoot almost entirely in the UK.

The forthcoming 23rd installment of the franchise - starring Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and Dame Judi Dench - was expected to shoot in locations across the globe including Bali and China, but budget cuts means Turkey is now the only other country the movie will go to.

"Six different countries were selected but after several technical and financial problems, it was decided to scale back and just use Turkey as the sole foreign location," a source said.

British beaches will be used - including Bognor Regis on the south coast - in addition to Pinewood Studios. "As well as Pinewood's incredible facilities, the UK has some stunning beaches, particularly along the south coast near Bognor and parts of Wales," the source added.

Skyfall has already begun shooting on location in London including Canary Wharf and Charing Cross, and the film - being directed by Sam Mendes - is due for release in November.
