The Scouting Book for Boys director Tom Harper is tapped to do The Woman In Black: Angel of Death, the sequel to the horror sleeper The Woman In Black which marked Daniel Radcliffe's first post-Harry Potter project. The first movie followed Radcliffe as a young lawyer who travels to a desolated village wherein a vengeful spirit terrorizes the villagers. The sequel, occurring forty years after the first film's events, concerns a nurse who is sent to a military mental hospital (was the Eel Marsh House) who is tortured by something more unsettling than a band of troubled military soldiers.
This sounds interesting and quite frankly, I'm liking how western is taking care of the ghost subgenre since Paranormal Activity. While I'm Asian, it's nice to know that Hollywood has hoarded a couple of interesting ideas and not borrow from foreign ghost stories. Actor-director Tom Harper has proved himself with The Scouting Book for Boys, an unnervingly dark drama that is well-directed, that unfortunately had to run on a thin script. Angel of Death is written by Jon Croker, who, meanwhile is working with Richard Raymond for a biopic of a dancer called Desert Dancer.
Besides the director and writer, no one is found to be involved with the pic. Shooting, however, is likely to start on spring next year. In the meantime, you can take a peek on the pic's first poster art treatment below. More on this later.
