The sequel to the hit horror film The Woman In Black has just been given a U.S. release date.
Last week, Deadline reported that Relativity Media had acquired the U.S. distribution rights to the sequel, titled The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, and now the thriller has been given a release date for January 30, 2015.
Directed by Tom Harper, the film will not see the return of Daniel Radcliffe, who initially starred in the previous installment. Instead, stars Jeremy Irvine and Helen McCoy will headline the upcoming blockbuster, which will take place 40 years later in the same haunted abode.
Below is the official synopsis for the Angel of Death:
As bombs rain down on London during the Blitz of World War II, a group of school children are evacuated with Eve, their young and beautiful schoolteacher, to the safety of the English countryside. Taken to an old and empty estate, cut-off by a causeway from the mainland, they are left at Eel Marsh House.
One by one the children begin acting strangely and Eve, with the help of local military commander Harry, discovers that the group has awoken a dark force even more terrifying and evil than the city’s air raids. Eve must now confront her own demons to save the children and escape the wrath of The Woman in Black.
Based on the 1983 novel by Susan Hill, CBS Films’ Woman in Black successfully took in over $54 million domestically in 2012. It featured Radcliffe as a lawyer who discovered the terrible wrath of the haunted house.
