When the Woman in Black shows up as a ghost, is that Liz White, or is the ghost version of her CGI while LIz White played her in the flashbacks to when she was alive? Thank you.

This is truly a haunting film, it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, the film creates a heavy and oppressive atmosphere which carries throughout the film, there are plenty of shocks along the way but most of this is left to your own imagination which makes it even more frightening, this is a truly entertaining film which everyone should see...but not alone, a true classic

THIS FILM HAS EVERYTHING THAT ONE LOOKS FOR IN A HAMMER FILM, DARK ATMOSPHERE, CREEPY MUSIC, SPOOKY OLD HOUSE WITH CREEKING STAIRS, DARK CORNERS, THICK FOG IN AN UNFAMILIAR SETTING (THE WOODS). THE ONLY REASON WHY I WENT TO SEE THIS MOVIE IS BECAUSE IT WAS A HAMMER FILM. I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD KEEP THE MOMENTUM FOLLOWING THE INSTANT CLASSIC "LET ME IN". I AM A DIE HARD OLD SCHOOL HAMMER HORROR FAN AND I CAN SAY WITH COMPLETE HONESTY AND PRIDE, HAMMER IS BACK!. I TRULY APPRECIATED CHRISTOPHER LEE IN THE FILM "RESIDENT", HE AND HAMMER ARE FAMILY, IF THIS KEEPS UP, HAMMER WILL OWN THE HORROR FILM INDUSTRY...AGAIN. THANK YOU HAMMER FOR STAYING TRUE TO WHAT WORKS AND TIPPING YOUR HAT TO US HAMMER HORROR FANS.

Having seen the theatrical version of "The Woman In Black" twice in London, I am hoping that the film will not lose the almost-claustrophobic tension and dread imparted by a small-theatre environment. It was the sense of confinement, of not being able to escape, which made the stage version so shocking and so devastatingly effective (I'd never heard people screaming in a theatre before): it mirrored that felt by Kipps as he unravel's the house's secrets. While a little sceptical, therefore, that "The Woman In Black" will work on the big screen, I wish the cast, crew and production team every success with the film. I shall await its release eagerly.

Have too agree this film has been crying out to be released on the big screen.The book by Susan Hill is very good, the play at the Fortune in London is superb and have seen it many times even seen the play on tour in Canterbury which was even better I might add. The tv version was also very good but is never shown now including local actor Bernard Hepton. Have been a Hammer Horror fan for many years and my favourite was the late Peter Cushing another local actor to me and such a talented Gentleman, glad I meet him in Whitstable. Thankyou Hammer this could and should be a real blockbuster, shame Christopher Lee could not be included somewhere, that woud be real vintage Hammer!

This film is long overdue. I've read The Woman In Black several times but was introduced to the story when I was at secondary school nearly 20 years ago. We read the book first but was then treated to the tv version, which is absolutely brilliant and very scary, fantastic! I was well chuffed when I heard that they were, finally, going to turn it into an actual film. About time! And that Daniel Radcliffe was playing Arthur Kipp, I think it's fantastic that he's making Woman In Black is first post-Potter movie. I think he'll be perfect. Good for him. I just can't wait to see it on the big scene. It's the one film I've been looking forward to the most since the final part of Harry Potter but The Woman In Black is one of my all time favourite books. Susan Hill is a genius. Thank you Hammer for finally turning this masterpiece into a film. Like I said to begin with, it's long overdue.

Can't wait to see this. The trailer looked great. Nice to see Daniel branching out. I made a short that is an homage to the old Hammer films. You can see it here http://www.vimeo.com/20009303. It's based on the classic story "The Monkey's Paw." Anyone who loves the Hammer films should like this. I was heavily influenced by them growing up. And thank you Hammer for getting back into the game.

I just wanted to say that I am thrilled with this remake. I was luckly enough to have seen Daniel Radcliffe in Equus on the west end a few years ago and he blew me away with his performance, for me he is the greatest actor of his generation. I love this book and have full faith that the crew and cast will do it more than justice. Can't Wait !

OK, I must say that I'm kinda shocked that all these comments seem to be so hopefully optimistic about this re-make. Now, I should preface by saying that I absolutely LOVE the original Woman In Black, it being one of my all time favorite ghost/horror films, and also believe it to be on par with the very best of the British ghost stories (i.e. The Signalman and Whistle And I'll Come To You). And, in addition to my love for the British ghost story, I am, and always will, equally LOVE Hammer films. From growing up watching all the Hammer classics and studying the company throughout my early adult life, I was insanely happy to hear of their return and, yet, a little worried too due to the difference in time and style that the modern horror film has taken since their departure. So imagine my disappointment to hear that my favorite and recently resurrected studio is slated to do Let Me In as one of their 1st comeback films! A re-make of Let The Right One In, a fairly recent film made in the midst of so many re-makes and thoroughly unoriginal vampire films, is also quite the rare example of being a truly beautiful horror film. With both it's creative film making and excellent narrative being so successful with the original film, I was concerned, to say the least, of what to expect from Hammer with this. And, frankly, I was a little disappointed that Hammer was doing a re-make as opposed to coming back strong and well rested. Yet always ready, waiting just in the shadows for the time it needs to save the horror film from it's suffering genre. Riding their re-animated European horses into battle carrying all original material destroying the Hollywood re-make machine and causing them to retaliate with all original material of their own, thus ending what will be referred to as "the age of the re-make and unoriginal" in American horror history books. OK, I'm sorry about that. I just got WAY off subject there. So despite my doubts and fears that my

This film should see a triumphant return for Hammer to the realm of gothic horror,a genre they so successfully dominated for over forty years.All in all an eagerly awaited movie.

I absolutely cannot wait!!! I've seen the stage show about 7 times and love it and still find it chilling to this day, nothing like a proper ghost story, I hope that they don't introduce gore though as the scariness is simply the ghostly tale that we are told, as in the play and the original film which I have, amazing book too!!

I grew up watching the film to Woman in Black with my dad. Its going to be fantastic to see a new and fresh version of this classic story! I am also excited to see Daniel Radcliffe step out of his Harry Potter role which he has quite literally grown out of. He is really looking mature and I am wishing him all the best.

If the remake is done well, the film has the potential to be huge. I saw the original when it was first released (& have a copy on video). I recently re-read the book which is masterfully written. In spite of being familiar with the story - read the book, seen the film and the play - I am still - still, to this day - nervous watching it alone at night. Am very much looking forward to seeing Hammer's take on it, and Dan Radcliffe as Kipps. The story is strong & stands on its own, please keep any special effects to a minimum.

The Woman in Black is a very safe story to film . The stage show has run successfully for years in London, it was filmed for TV in the eighties and even then managed to be quite chilling . Well done to the re-formed Hammer and best of luck with the franchise. I have always said Peter Cushing was one person I would really have liked to meet - a really great guy.

This looks good, regardless of who might be in it. It sounds like a good strategy to look into monsters and vampires of cultures Americans and British audiences aren't familiar with. Still can make a good story, but people won't figure they already know all about it.

I see that Ciaran Hinds has a part in new production of The Woman In Black. I always thought that he'd make a great Hammer star. He's such a good actor and so charismatic. He'd make a great Duc de Richelieu, Quatermass or even vampire! Hammer, don't let him go!!!

Now filming is over I can tellyou that Halton Gill on the North Yorkshire Dales is Crythin Gifford in the story and they used my brother's house fot the Gifford Arms exterior. Anyone who wants to join me as a friend on facebook feel free, I've put a few pics up. Questiom - how can Alisa Khazanova be Mrs Drablow? I thought she an old bag, unless its just for the flashbacks?

Hi, I've been watching some of the filming and I think (I hope!) this film is going to be a classic. The village setting is very atmospheric and the weather has been miserable which adds to it. The village is set up in the early 1900's period (the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost is the one used in Dorian Gray and dates from 1913) The cast, not currently listed on the Hammer site includes Liz White (LIfe on Mars) and Ciaran Hinds (Rome) Tim McMullan and Daniel Cerquiera and Alfie Field. No sign of Michael Ripper - yet! :)
