This is the official Hammer Film group on Bebo.

Hammer Films are perhaps best known for their gothic horror films of the 1960s and 70s, when it was the most innovative producer in the horror genre, enjoying global box-office success, and making the Hammer brand synonymous with horror. Hammer was responsible for the classic movie series of Dracula, Frankenstein, and Quatermass, forever imprinting its "Hammer House of Horror" slogan into the English language.

Following the recent acquisition by a European Consortium, Hammer is planning a swift return to film and television production.

Hammer Films about to release first movie in thirty years....
We’re now less than two weeks away from the premiere of the first episode of Beyond the Rave, the first new Hammer production in more than two decades. Launch date is now confirmed for April 17th on www.myspacetv.com/beyondtherave


For your information, a bit about the production....

Press Release: 13 December 2007


Hammer Films and MySpace today announced a joint venture which will see Hammer’s first horror movie in 30 years broadcast exclusively on MySpace.

The movie, entitled Beyond the Rave, is MySpaceTV’s first UK co-production. It will broadcast episodically on MySpaceTV in Spring 2008 as 20 ’webisodes’, before being released as a full length movie on DVD, and available for download.

Hammer Films, the iconic film studio, and MySpace have teamed up to create Beyond the Rave specifically for the internet, signifying a dramatic new opportunity in the way traditional media companies are creating content exclusively for the internet in addition to conventional platforms.

Ben Grass and Tom Grass from Pure Grass Films, creators of the award-winning movie When Evil Calls, will produce the film.

With an exciting British cast including Jamie Dornan (Marie Antoinette), Nora-Jane Noone (The Magdalene Sisters), Tamer Hassan (The Football Factory, Eastern Promises) and Sadie Frost (Dracula, Shopping), Beyond the Rave promises to deliver all the ingredients of a Hammer classic made for a 21st Century audience: vampires, blood, death and suspense throughout.

Simon Oakes, Chairman and Chief Executive, Hammer Film Productions Ltd said:

"This is a bold venture creating horror for the 21st century through a variety of technologies. When Hammer Films first started it was an innovative production company and this new venture marks the beginning of a journey to recalibrate the DNA of Hammer Films for a new audience. MySpace is an innovative and exciting distribution platform to enable people to watch and interact with movie content in a whole new way. To relaunch with MySpaceTV’s first UK co-production is perfect for a company originally born out of a culture of risk-taking and creativity."

James Fabricant, Director of Entertainment and Head of Video, MySpace Europe, said:

"This partnership demonstrates the power of MySpace and how traditional media is being turned on its head: for Hammer to make their first movie in 30 years specifically for the MySpace community is a phenomenal development and shows the dramatic change in how consumers want to access content."

MySpace is the world’s number one social network with over 110 million unique users (Comscore, October 2008).

Hammer Films launched in 1934 and went onto produce more than 150 movies over the next four decades.

Just bought 'Scars of Dracula' on DVD,Hadnt seen it for years.What a great film.Lee is fantastic(allthough there's nowt new there!)and Patrick Troughton is particularly good,infact the only complaint i have with the whole film is that bloody rubber vampire bat! Still the best film i've seen for a while though,makes me want to see 'Rasputin',which used to be one of my favourite films,and 'The devil rides out' was cracking too!

Wonderful blood curdling sceams for the "Children of the NIght" to see Hammer back - the new project looks good and hopefully adds to the back catalogue in an appropiate chilling manner - just one thing where is the Quatermass Experiment on DVD - Want it bad !!!
