The website Bloody Disgusting is busy telling everyone that Hammer films are:
1. Already successful (hmmm)
And 2. Thinking about "re-imagining" some old Hammer classics, namely Quatermass, Captain Kronos and Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde.
Before everyone gets on their high horses about the word "re-imagining" (is it a word?), I ought to point out that throughout Hammer's golden age from 1957 to the mid 70s, they were constantly "re-imagining" everything they could get their paws on, before it was even a word (if it is a word) - Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, Phantom Of The Opera, etc etc. And I for one would love to see a new version of Captain Kronos, but I have to say that they probably need to sack everyone responsible for Beyond The Rave before they start...
Anyhoo, the link to their interview with Hammer CEO Simon Oakes is below...
