The Canada-based distributor will co-finance Hammer’s adaptation of Susan Hill’s classic ghost story but update it in 3D. Alliance will also release the film in the UK (Momentum), Spain (Aurum) and Canada (Alliance). Hammer’s sales arm, Exclusive Film Distribution, is handling worldwide sales here at Cannes. Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass) is adapting the screenplay and the director is James Watkins (Eden Lake). Production is expected to begin this autumn. Surely if there’s one film that doesn’t need to be made in 3D it’s The Woman In Black. The story is strong enough not to need the 3D gimmick. The stage play is still running in London after 20 years without any special effects. Unless you count an empty rocking chair moving by itself. Believe me, that’s really terrifying.

Tell that to the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock, when Warners forced him to make DIAL M FOR MURDER in 3-D.
Were the people who came up with the 3D idea drunk?
Is it April 1st yet, or is this some sort of sick joke on the producer’s side?
If one story doesn’t need updating at all, it’s this one.
I’m not even sure it translates well to screen, but then I’ve never had the chance to watch the TV version.
In my opinion, nothing can replace the experience that is the audience’s collective gasp of horror in the theater.
I saw The Woman in Black in Chicago in the ’90s. It scared the bejabbers out of me. I still have shivers when I think of it. Movie-no; 3D -no, no NO!!! It is a stage play, and should remain as such.
My I say in all modesty that The Woman in Black is indeed a stage play, – but it was a novel first and still is.
And I have a rocking chair in my kitchen. Sometimes the cat jumps out of it seconds before a person goes into the room, leaving the chair gently rocking by itself.
Imagine how tha makes me feel.
