Following on from their brand relaunch with the US remake of Let the Right One In, here’s a poster (courtesy of IMP Awards) for another film from the newly restored Hammer studios.
The Resident stars Hillary Swank as a young doctor who finds herself becoming the object of her new landlord’s (played by Watchmen’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan) obsession when she moves into a Brooklyn loft space.
The poster itself presents that familiar-looking woman in peril imagery which has been seen numerous times before, although it’s nice to see the inclusion of Hammer veteran Christopher Lee’s name under the film’s title. It looks like the studio is consciously paying respect to what has come before in casting the 88 year old – a device which may pay off marketing-wise too.
The film is set for release in the UK on 11 March 2011.
