Hammer acquires film rights to The Daylight Gate

October 9, 2013 by admin

Horror specialist Hammer has announced that it has acquired the feature film rights to The Daylight Gate, Jeanette Winterson’s 2012 novella from Randon House’s Arrow Books Hammer imprint, which is based upon the 17th century Pendle Witch Trial, the most notorious of English witch-trials, and is a tale of magic, superstition, conscience and ruthless murder.

“The Hammer imprint has really delivered some fantastic new writing and shows the vibrancy and variety of the modern day horror genre,” said Simon Oakes, Vice-Chairman of Exclusive Media and President & CEO of Hammer Films. “The books under our Arrow Books deal are in themselves a fantastic extension of the Hammer brand, and Jeanette’s novella The Daylight Gate is a fresh, exciting and compelling fictional work.”

“I was interested to take the Hammer novella commission to write a good story around the notorious Pendle witch trials of 1612,” stated Winterson, an award-winning writer who’s books include Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. “Now I am intrigued and excited to see what new form these ghosts can inhabit. Stories from the past are always present; it is our imaginations that make it so.”
