While "The Woman in Black," sequel isn't set for release until 2015, that isn't stopping Hammer CEO, Simon Oakes from planning further additions to the franchise.

In an interview with Total Films, Oakes revealed that he is already thinking about the third and fourth installments, stating that- "If your second’s successful, then your third, then you’ve got a franchise… I just don’t believe in the notion that you can press a button and create a franchise, but, I mean, I’m definitely planning 3 and 4…"

The upcoming sequel, "The Woman in Black: Angel of Death," is based on an original story by Susan Hill, written by Jon Croker and directed by Tom Harper. Currently there is no US release date, but the movie is set to be released in the UK on February 13, 2015.
