Very welcome news. Please let it be as complete as possible so I can stop kicking myself for not buying the Anolis when it was still in print!

Great news, this is my favourite Hammer horror and hopefully it will be fully uncut.I'd like to see an uncut release for The Satanic Rites of Dracula too.

New from HAMMER for next year. Looks like it could be a good one.

"Daniel Radcliffe stars as the lead in The Woman In Black, Hammer Films and Alliance Films hotly-anticipated adaptation of Susan Hill’s best-selling novel.

Directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) and written by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, The Debt) The Woman in Black follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the UK and attend to 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."

The Woman in Black is an outstanding novel, extremely chilling.

The film is one i really look forward to, and pray it doesn't turn out to be full of digital fx.

Hopefully it will sit nicely at the table with the Haunting and the Innocents.

I wonder if they'll throw in some Dementors for good measure.

Daniel Radcliffe has the misfortune of always being Harry Potter. Hard to get that image out of my head when I see him in anything else.

With James Watkins directing, who did the excellent Eden Lake, I'm hoping this will be the case too.

True blob, It's bound to be hard for him coming off the back of the Potter series but hey, look what happened to Connery after the Bond films. You never know the boy may come good, time will tell my friend.

First thing he needs to do is invest in a good pair of contact lenses.
