Hammer Films back in business and comes to Comic Con San Diego

Hammer CEO, Simon Oakes will come to Comic Con San Diego to discuss Hammer Films presentation of its latest offerings Let Me In and The Resident, and the recent casting announcement of Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe in the movie Women In Black.

If you've wondered where you've heard the name Hammer Films, here's a video hint in the form of a "Tribute to Hammer":



Now you get it? Christopher Lee, who you probably know as Count Doooku in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Now, as in Hammer Films lore, Lee plays a villain.

In the 1980s Hammer Films stopped production due to a loss of American funding and had remained in hibernation.

Exclusive Media Group has revived the brand and is taking it back to the business of horror movies.

At Comic Con, Hammer Films will produce the panel for Let Me In on Saturday July 24th at 1:30PM in Hall H at San Diego Convention Center.

It's great to have Hammer Films back in action!

Stay tuned.
