Whilst discussing
Hammer's plans for the future during a BBC Radio 1
interview this week, Hammer's Simon Oakes has revealed
the names of the first Hammer films from the new company
(Beyond the Rave, thanks to its episodic internet
release is better categorised simply as a "production").
Oakes
announced the return of Hammer House of Horror to
television, with something expected around October of
this year. A likely anthology co-production with the BBC
has been widely rumoured (reported by
unofficialhammerfilms.com in September 2006), and
understood to have been in development for some time.
We'll bring you further news when we get it.
Also
announced during the interview were the first details of
the new Hammer films. The Resident is to
be a Hitcockian/Psycho type thriller, The
Quiet Ones is pitched somewhere between The
Exorcism of Emily Rose and Poltergeist,
whilst Coyote Season is to be directed by
Malik Bader.
