Hammer Films to make 'Wake Wood'
Published Wednesday, Sep 24 2008, 09:12 BST | By Beth Hilton
Hammer Films is to make its first horror movie in more than 30 years.
The legendary studio announced that it will make The Wake Wood from a script by David Keating and Brendan McCarthy. Keating will direct while McCarthy will co-produce.
The film tells the story of grieving parents Patrick and Louise, whose nine-year-old daughter Alice was killed by a savage dog. When the couple move to the remote town of Wake Wood, they learn of a pagan ritual that will allow them three more days with their child.
Aidan Gillen (The Wire) and Eva Birthistle (Middletown) will star alongside Timothy Spall in the movie.
Principal photography began yesterday in County Donegal, Ireland.
Hammer's last horror outing was 1976's The Devil's Daughter.
