Hammer’s Next Big Horror: Trailer for ‘Wake Wood’!
After Let Me In, I have high hopes for Hammer Films’ future projects, especially their thriller Wake Wood, David Keating’s pic that received high praises out of last November’s AFM in Santa Monica, CA. North American rights recently acquired by Chicago-based MPI Media Group, the UK are the first to get their hands on the trailer that rocks some pretty awesome footage. I’m so freaking excited for this one! The plot follows a couple whose new neighbors in a remote rural community introduce them to a pagan ritual to attempt to bring back their dead daughter. The film was shot in Ireland. Aidan Gillen, Eva Birthistle, Timothy Spall and Ella Connolly star. Dark Sky plans a theatrical release in spring 2011, followed by DVD and VOD.
