OT: Hammer comes back from dead

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Since many of us have mentioned what fans of the Hammer films we are, I thought this news might be of interest:

The recently revived Hammer Films will produce its first feature in three decades and distribute it via social networking site MySpace’s web TV arm ... in 20-minute online webisodes ... and then be made available in its entirety on DVD to buy or download.

A new Hammer vampire film! Woo hoo!!

Hammer just shot their first feature film in 30 years.
Beyond the Rave, a film about the London club scene, has nothing to do with the horror genre, but Ingrid Pitt has a small role in it.

Hammer as we knew it is long gone.
Then again, are today's Universal films anything like the film they did in the 30s & 40s?

I wih the new Hammer well.

Hmmm - Variety's article says it's a "vampire story set in England’s underground rave party scene."

An early trailer!

Both Sadie Frost and Ingrid Pitt?  Yay.
