Now that Hammer has a hit on its hands with The Woman in Black, the reborn British horror studio is understandably keen to develop a franchise, and retain, at least in some capacity, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who appeared in the first film.
Here's what Hammer's CEO Simon Oakes had to say about plans for follow up films to the Woman in Black:
"We are working on not a sequel but a continuation of The Woman in Black. Susan Hill wrote an outline story about what happened 40 years later to the woman in Woman in Black and the house and all of that. It's completely different. It's completely different. Obviously with a different story and cast."
Hammer has officially announced this film, and there was some teasing that Daniel Radcliffe could make an appearance in it, but by the sound of things, it would be a small role.
And then, pending the success of this follow-up, Hammer won't be stopping there. Oakes talked a little about their further plans for the series:
"I also think with a bit of luck, The Woman in Black is sort of like the brand… we won't count our chickens but absolutely. Plans are afoot."
