Promotional material for the sequel to The Woman in Black was distributed at AFM this week (right; click for larger image). Titled Angel of Death, the screenplay was written by Jon Croker and based on an original story idea by Susan Hill, the author of the novel The Woman in Black.

The storyline of Angel of Death will pick up forty years after the events in the original. Seized by the government during World War II, the sudden arrival of a group of evacuated children at Eel Marsh House awakens its darkest inhabitant.

Tom Harper will direct. "I am thrilled to be a part of The Woman in Black: Angel of Death," he said. "This will be a great opportunity for me to collaborate with a brilliantly talented team on the next installment in this exciting series."
