About this product

Product Information

This book utilises never seen before materials held in the Hammer Script Archive to present a new perspective on one of the most famous British production studios of all time. While many studies of Hammer Films have been written, none have accounted for the significant amount of creative and economic labour that went into over 100 unmade projects at the company. Using primary materials such as screenplays and correspondence, the book examines the production contexts of an eclectic range of Hammer's unmade films, ranging from Loch Ness Monster project Nessie to Dracula in India script Kali Devil Bride of Dracula . Using Hammer as a case study, the book represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily use unmade projects. The book offers a fresh perspective on a legendary film studio, and argues for the importance and sustained study of unmade films within film history.

A fascinating insight into Hammer's 'unmade' past and the more earthbound horrors of development hell. Visions of celluloid Gothic that are as tantalising as they are fleeting., Hammer Films is known the world over for its trailblazing, full colour, gothic horror films. Yet, despite its iconic status it failed to get many a project off the ground. In Hammer Goes to Hell , Kieran Foster explores a number of these projects. Drawing on new research, Foster offers a lively and engaging revisionist history bursting with new information and insight.

This book gives you an outline on how difficult it is to survive, but gives NO actual information on any subject. Ridiculous waste of money! No pictures, no instructions.
