Hammer Movies are working on Wake, a new movie directed by 1408‘s Mikael Hafstrom about “a sociopath who is incapable of feeling fear.”
The revived banner was recently responsible for the US version of vampire thriller Let Me In, and The Resident; their next release is an adaptation of The Woman in Black, starring Harry Potter‘s Daniel Radcliffe.
Wake is written by Whisper‘s Christopher Borelli and Ninja Assassin‘s Matt Sand.
Hammer is also aiming to increase worldwide recognition of the brand by producing novelisations of some of its classic movies. Horror writer Shaun Hutson has been commissioned to adapt three films, starting with the 1971 film Twins of Evil, which starred Peter Cushing, while Mark Morris is working on a version of the 1972 Vampire Circus. Some of their films received the novelisation treatment at the time of their release, including The Revenge of Frankenstein, The Brides of Dracula and Hands of the Ripper, while John Burke produced shorter length prose pieces in two volumes of the Hammer Horror Film Omnibus.
