Hammer Films is branching out some and getting into the suspense-thriller game with WAKE, a screenplay they’ve just bought from writer Christopher Borelli. Danish director Kasper Barfoed is already attached to helm the flick.

Details are under wraps, but the tale is described as being in the vein of THE TRANSPORTER; apparently, there’s franchise potential as well.

Borelli wrote last year’s crapfest THE MARINE 2; he also penned the horror flick WHISPER and a spec script called THE VATICAN TAPES, which Lionsgate bought last summer… Meanwhile, Hammer Films is busy at work on THE WOMAN IN BLACK 3D and has LET ME IN coming out this October. The days of Peter Cushing are over, it would seem.
