Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter himself, is dipping into old-school horror as part of his post-Hogwarts carrier. The star has joined the cast of The Woman In Black, which will be released by recently revived Hammer Films.
The adaptation of Susan Hill’s bestseller will come from director James (Eden Lake) Watkins, with a script from Jane (Kick Ass) Goldman. The story follows young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the U.K. and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in an old and isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover its tragic secrets, and his unease grows when he discovers that the local village is held hostage by the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance.
Having seen a previous version of the film I can assure you it's creepy as hell.
The film begins production in the fall. We'll update you as more news becomes available. Hammer is also releasing the U.S. version of Let Me In later this year.
