Welcome Back Old Friend

Legendary British horror production company Hammer Films is back!

Filming on "The Wake Wood" begins this week in Ireland according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Timothy Spall, Aidan Gillen and Eva Birthistle star in the story about grieving parents who are given the opportunity to spend three more days with their only daughter after she is killed by a savage dog.

David Keating calls the shots from a screenplay he co-wrote with Brendan McCarthy.

A release in the Fall of '09 is planned.

This is a real kick...There's nothing quite like spending a rainy Saturday afternoon watching some of the company's flicks from 60's and 70's in particular--recapturing that Hammer vibe for a sophisticated modern day crowd is going to tough....Again so curious and stoked
