Hammer's The Woman in Black officially has US distribution courtesy of CBS Films, as reported by Deadline. Starring Daniel Radcliffe and directed by James Watkins, The Woman in Black is already set to be released in the UK on February 10, 2012.
“The story follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote village and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in the client’s isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover tragic secrets, his unease growing when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed only in black. Receiving only silence from the locals, Kipps is forced to uncover the true identity of the Woman in Black on his own, leading to a desperate race against time when he discovers her true intent.”
There is no release date for the US at this time, but we should have word on that soon. Filming has already wrapped up, so it is possible we could see a release later this year. Check out our previous coverage to watch a teaser trailer for the film.
