THE WOMAN IN BLACK: ANGEL OF DEATH Finds It's New Harry Potter

The latest Harry Potter film, 2012's Harry Potter and the Haunted Mansion The Woman in Black, made $130 million worldwide off of a modest budget of about $15 million. Now, this doesn't usually mean that there's a sequel, since studios care about the product not the cash, especially when it comes to horror films, It's been announced that The Woman in Black: Angel of Death has found it's leads.

The Hollywood Reporter broke that fresh off of the wildly acclaimed Spielberg film Warhorse, Jeremy Irvine, will play the lead role opposite Phoebe Fox.

"Jeremy and Phoebe are fantastic actors to continue The Woman in Black’s chilling tale.  I’m looking forward to working with them both on the film and can’t wait to start shooting with the pair."

Director Tom Harper (The Scouting Book for Boys, The Swarm) said of the two.

Here's what to expect story-wise from this follow-up:

The sequel will continue the story four decades later.

Seized by the British government during World War II, the sudden arrival of a group of evacuated children at Eel Marsh House awakens its ghostly inhabitant.

What do you all think? I didn't mind the first film, and thought it was pretty well made and somewhat chilling. Here's hoping lightning can strike twice.
