Hammer Remaking THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN
Hammer has announced that they will be producing a remake of their 1957 film, The Abominable Snowman.
The movie will be a modern take on the Yeti legend, and in the story "a scientific expedition’s illegal assent up an unclimbed peak of one of the World’s most formidable mountains accidentally awakens an ancient creature that could spell a certain end for them all."
The screenplay is being written by Matthew Read (Pusher, Hammer of the Gods) and Jon Croker (The Woman In Black: Angel of Death, Desert Dancer). President and CEO of Hammer Simon Oakes had this to say in a statement,
"The success of Let Me In and The Woman In Black has shown that there is an appetite for quality horror films so it is exciting to draw on Hammer’s unparalleled source material in this genre which can be reimagined and updated for a new audience."
I've been enjoying the films that Hammer has made, and The Abominable Snowman sounds like another fun project!
