Exclusive new filmed content alongside beloved classic genre films to make groundbreaking online debut
To the delight of fans worldwide
Hammer, Britain's most celebrated genre film brand which recently
produced box office smash The Woman in Black and the acclaimed Let Me
In, today launches its first dedicated YouTube Channel at
www.youtube.com/hammerfilms.
For the very first time, exclusive new content from current Hammer
productions as well as carefully restored classic Hammer feature films
will be available to stream online.
The Hammer Films Channel will carry a range of exclusive new
content, previews, commentary and behind the scenes material from
upcoming new productions such as The Quiet Ones starring Jared Harris
and Sam Claflin and The Woman in Black: Angels of Death,
the follow up to the worldwide box office hit, The Woman in Black,
starring Daniel Radcliffe.
In addition, the Hammer Films Channel will stream a collection of
Hammer’s well-known classic feature film titles including The Quatermass
Xperiment, The Man In Black and Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter some of
which have been newly restored and digitally
re-mastered. As additional titles are added to the new platform, this
will be the first time fans can view other digitally re-mastered classic
Hammer films online under a restoration initiative launched earlier
this year by Hammer’s owner Exclusive Media.
From the historic library, the Hammer Films Channel will also carry
Classic Hammer TV series such as ‘Hammer House of Mystery and
Suspense’, as well as new on-air commentary and film introductions from
official Hammer historian, Marcus Hearn and Hammer
archivist, Robert J.E. Simpson. Newly created featurettes and original
trailer material, not seen by the public for many years, will also be
added to the Channel’s far reaching content. The Hammer Films Channel
will continually expand its range of programming
as it becomes available, with the full schedule to be published and
regularly updated at www.hammerfilms.com
Simon Oakes, President and CEO of Hammer said, “The launch of our
dedicated YouTube channel truly encapsulates how we have positioned
Hammer as a dynamic British genre label with a great heritage. We hope
this new platform will allow us to continue to
reach fans who have responded so well to films like Let Me In and The
Woman in Black, while continuing to honour the great filmmaking history
of our company."
