Throughout today we have been running extended versions of our interviews from the premiere of The Woman In Black. One of the most interesting things that came up during those interviews related to Hammer Films plans for the future. During our conversation with Simon Oakes, CEO of the company, he revealed,
“We’re going to look more at our catalogue, our old characters, our old IP (intellectual property) like The Mummy and Dracula, and watch this space”
So, it seems fairly clear what the studio will be making in the fairly near future.
We’ve embedded our video of the full interview below. As well as talking about plans for the future, Oakes also talks about what turning The Woman in Black into a film could bring to the story. The video begins with Exclusive Media (Hammer’s parent company) execs, Marc Shipper, Guy East and Tobin Armbrust discussing the tight timescale they were working on while making the film, as well as just how little they had to change to keep the rating of the movie down to a 12A here and a PG-13 in the US.
