Christopher Lee returns to Hammer Horror

If you haven’t already heard, Hammer Horror, one of the United Kingdom’s oldest production companies and a staple in 60’s and 70’s horror, is making a comeback with a new look and new money.

Hammer Horror’s newest project will be a film called ‘Invasion of Privacy’ (previously titled ‘The Resident’) and will be the debut directorial outing for Antti J. Jokinen. The project will be produced primarily by Simon Oakes, Nigel Sinclair and Guy East.

Legendary genre icon and Hammer Horror veteran Christopher Lee will be making his return to the company’s makeover, starring in the film alongside Hilary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Plot details are bit vague (intentionally, I’m sure) but, what is known is that the story is about a woman who moves into a loft apartment in Brooklyn after separating from her husband and finds herself in the middle of some “unwanted attention”. Well, whatever that means, but I find it strange that a Hammer Horror movie will be set in Brooklyn? Wow! This IS a new Hammer Horror!
