Daniel Radcliffe is saying goodbye to the wizards and hello to Hammer by way of The Woman in Black.

LA Times: As Radcliffe walks away from the last decade’s shining success of the British film community — the “Potter” movies… he steps into a project that taps into an older and edgier part of U.K. cinema lore: “The Woman in Black” is being made under the banner of Hammer Film Productions, the most revered brand name in European horror… Radcliffe said. “Hammer is the company that everybody wants to see succeed. It’s such a part of our film heritage. It was a massive producer of films in its heyday — they were really prolific, there were tons of them — and with actors like Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. It’s wonderful to see that company, that name, in a resurgence.”

It’s been 30 plus years since the last Hammer Film Production was released and most horror fans are probably eagerly waiting their return. Which is already underway with this Octobers release of “Let Me In,” and the recently wrapped production of “The Resident”.

The 1994 movie is getting a reboot and I am not so sure how I feel about it. Back then, I had watched the film several times, and really enjoyed the dark, gloomy atmosphere, the truly bad bad-guys and the pure acts of revenge.

Stephen Norrington (‘Blade’) had already penned a script for The Crow that takes place in the Southwest and also in an urban setting. According to The Wrap however, Nick Cave has been asked to rewrite the material.

The Wrap: Well apparently Norrington’s take wasn’t quite “terrific” enough, as Pressman recently told TheWrap that none other than iconic musician and acclaimed screenwriter Nick Cave has come on to rewrite the script.

It also appears that soon the there will be an announcement about who will land the role of Eric Draven and that the crow itself will be more of an actual character than in Alex Proyas’ 1994 original.
