Tom Harper to Direct THE WOMAN IN BLACK: ANGEL OF DEATH

Hammer Films has hired U.K. director Tom Harper (The Borrowers) to helm the sequel to the Daniel Radcliffe horror film The Woman in Black.

The sequel is called The Woman in Black: Angel of Death, and the story takes place "four decades after the events of the first film, setting the story during World War II with the arrival of a group of evacuee children at Eel Marsh House."

Sounds like a good creepy setting. According to the announcement this is "the next installment in the series," so I imagine we'll get a few more Woman in Black movies in the future if they keep doing well at the box office. The script for the sequel was written by Jon Croker from an original story by author Susan Hill.

I loved the first film, it had a great creepy, old school horror movie vibe to it. I'm looking forward to seeing how this sequel turns out! Hopefully it will be just as good and creepy.
