'The Woman in Black' Becomes a Frightening Franchise with 'The Angels of Death'

Are you ready to take a trip back to Eel Marsh Manor? The sequel to "The Woman in Black" won't feature Daniel Radcliffe as a dapper Edwardian era lawyer, but its title alone is enough to send a shiver down our spines.

"Angels of Death" is currently in development over at the House of Hammer with help from author Susan Hill, who wrote the novel upon which "The Women in Black" is based.

"Angels of Death" is an original work by Hill that takes place 40 years after Radcliffe's trip to the haunted manor, when a couple find themselves in thrall to the house's rather unwelcoming resident. Story editor Jon Croker will adapt Hill's story into a screenplay. Get More »

When "Harry Potter" and"The Woman in Black" star Daniel Radcliffe first revealed last summer that he had recently overcome a drinking problem, many fans shrugged it off as just another "boys will be boys" moment. You know, kids, growing up, it happens.

But now Radcliffe is speaking out in detail about his troubles with alcohol -- and it turns out that the problem was much more serious than previously believed, including nightly blackout binges and even showing up drunk on the set of "Harry Potter."

Forget Lord Voldemort, Radcliffe's biggest enemy was himself. Get More »

'Chronicle' Writes Success Story At Box Office

Chronicle
20th Century Fox

Unheralded sci-fi/horror flick "Chronicle" wrote its own success story at the box office this weekend as the story about a group of high school students who suddenly develop superpowers topped the box office with a surprisingly strong $22 million debut according to Hollywood.com.

That was just enough to edge out fellow newcomer "The Woman in Black," which also took in a greater than expected $21 million thanks to a young audience made up mostly of female fans, no doubt due to the presence of "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe.

So how did returning films such as Liam Neeson's "The Grey" and Kate Beckinsale's vampire epic "Underworld: Awakening" fare? For the full box office report, including figures for the pro-whale weepie "Big Miracle," head to Hollywood.com.

GALLERY: Daniel Radcliffe Outgrows His Wizard's Robes

Once upon a time, Daniel Radcliffe was an unknown kid picked to play an iconic wizard. Ten years later, the "Harry Potter" franchise ended, and we all cried a little. Or a lot.

But Radcliffe now has a chance to put his wizarding ways behind him, and he's taking advantage, starring as a ghost-hunting lawyer in "The Woman in Black," a thriller based on the 1983 Susan Hill novel.

The boy has become a man, indeed. Radcliffe isn't the little kid who seemed swallowed up by his glasses in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" anymore. Take a look at the grown-up star this handsome lad has become.

GALLERY: Our 15 Favorite Women in Black

In "The Woman in Black," Harry Potter himself (or rather, Daniel Radcliffe) takes on the darker side of the supernatural as he investigates a haunted estate and the dark history that brought one of its former residents back from the grave for revenge.

The "Woman" of the title is kind of a pain in the butt, what with all the murdering and all; but not every similarly clad woman is quite so gloomy. Some of our favorite filmic females have donned a dark look for some memorable roles, no doubt bolstered by the fact that black is slimming.

As Wesley Snipes said in "Passenger 57": "Always bet on black."

Daniel Radcliffe Gets Spooked in 3 'Woman in Black' Clips

Woman in Black

For Daniel Radcliffe, the world-famous star of "Harry Potter," it'll take more than a magic wand to save his ass from the murderous title spirit in "The Woman in Black."

Adapted from the Susan Hill novel by screenwriter Jane Goldman ("Kick-Ass"), this is an old-fashioned haunted house flick in the Hammer Studios tradition that proves hell hath no fury like a woman in black scorned.
