Daniel Radcliffe Will Go For Gold As Olympic Medallist Sebastian Coe

Daniel Radcliffe is getting his running shoes on as he’s signed up for Gold, where he’ll play legendary British runner, Sebastian Coe. The movie will reunite him with The Woman In Black director, James Watkins.

The movie has been in development for quite a while, as originally the hope was to get it in cinemas to coincide with the London Olympics. They’ve missed that date by a wide mark, but things are now moving ahead with Radcliffe as Coe, in a film that will look at the athlete’s rivalry with felloe middle-distance runner Steve Ovett.

The rivalry was at time cordial and sometimes fierce, and saw them fighting it out for Olympic medals, such as at the 1980 Moscow games, when Ovett beat Coe in his favoured 800m event, while Coe beat Ovett is the latter’s preferred 1,500m. In 1981 they also traded world records for the fastest mile ever three times in 10 days, with Coe as one point holding the 800m, 1,500m and mile records, while Ovett later took over the 1,500m and mile records.

Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) and Will Davies (How to Train Your Dragon) wrote the script based on The Perfect Distance by Pat Butcher. Shooting it expected to start next April.

The Woman In Black (DVD)

June 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer, Roger Allam
Director: James Watkins
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: June 18th, 2012

It’s surprising it’s taken 30 years to turn The Woman In Black into a movie. Susan Hill’s novel has sold millions of copies, and a stage version has been running in the West End since 1989, becoming the second longest-running non-musical production ever. Now Hammer has finally managed to get it onto the screen, with Eden Lake’s James Watkins directing and Daniel Radcliffe starring.

Radcliffe plays young lawyer Arthur Kipps, a man still reeling from the death of his wife during childbirth. Having rather neglected his work, he’s given one final chance by his firm, which involves going to the remote Eel Marsh House to sort through the papers of the recently deceased owner. When he arrives in the nearby village, the locals seem singularly unwelcoming and don’t appear to want him to go to the house. [Read more…]

Hammer Plans The Woman In Black 2

April 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hammer scored a huge hit with The Woman In Black, which has taken over £20 million in the UK to become the highest grossing horror-thriller of the last 20 years in Britain. Having crossed $120 million worldwide, it’s perhaps not surprisingly Hammer would like to make a follow-up.

They’ve now announced that Hammer and Talisman are developing Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black: Angels Of Death for the big screen, a new film which continues the story of The Woman in Black 40 years on. Screenwriter Jon Crocker (Desert Dancer) is working on the screenplay, which is based on an original story by Hill, which has been under development for the past few years and is now complete.

The Woman in Black is set in the early 1900’s and follows a young lawyer (Daniel Radcliffe) who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the UK to sort out the papers of a recently deceased client. In the eerie setting of Eel Marsh House he discovers the vengeful ghost of The Woman in Black. This next instalment, The Woman in Black: Angels Of Death, will continue this story four decades later and focus on the concept of a couple and the experience they have when they encounter the haunted setting of Eel Marsh House.

It sounds like Radcliffe is unlikely to be needed if this is set decades on, unless Hill has found a way around this (although his character could be involved). There’s no news either whether Jame Watkins will direct, although Hammer does say The Woman in Black: Angels Of Death will be brought to the big screen by the same production team behind first film.

New Woman In Black Poster Goes Old-School Hammer

January 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


While the reborn Hammer Films has been around for a few years now (getting involved in the likes of Let Me In), The Woman In Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe, is probably the closest to the films the company was famous for in the old days. They’re playing that up with the fab new poster above, which was inspired by the classic poster images for the old-school Hammer horror movies.

It’s great fun for a film that promises plenty of jumps and chills when it’s released on February 10th.
