"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.
