Synopsis. Young London solicitor Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) is forced to leave his three-year-old son and travel to the remote village of Crythin Gifford to attend to the affairs of the recently deceased owner of Eel Marsh House. But when he arrives at the creepy old mansion, he discovers dark secrets in the villagers’ past, and his sense of unease deepens when he glimpses a mysterious woman dressed all in black.

.Introducing THE WOMAN IN BLACK. From the hit novel by Susan Hill, The Woman in Black is a dark tale of loss, vengeance and mourning. Acclaimed screenwriter Jane Goldman brings Hill’s story to the screen for a 21 st Century audience. Directed by James Watkins and starring Daniel Radcliffe, Ciarán Hinds, Janet McTeer and Liz White, The Woman in Black is a Talisman production in association with Exclusive Media Group. When Susan Hill published The Woman in Black as a novel in 1982, she never imagined it would have a life across so many media. “You don’t, do you?” she says. “You don’t write it for other media. You just write a book and then other people take over.” But she’s used to people adapting her work, especially The Woman in Black, which has been turned into a TV movie, a radio series, a play and now a feature film. “The point is that the book is still there,” she says. “It’s the art of adaptation – which I could never do. With the play and now the film, each person has taken my book and remained true to the spirit of it, whilst reinterpreting it to suit the new medium.” This is the first time Hill’s novel – now nearly thirty years old – has been adapted for the big screen. The project first came to producer Richard Jackson, of Talisman Films, as far back as 1997. Following the success of Talisman’s production of Rob Roy, Hill’s agent approached Jackson to explore the possibility of a big screen adaptation of The Woman in Black. “It turned out to be a surprisingly tricky story to adapt,” he confides. “Over the years, we made several attempts with different screenwriters to adapt the story and I was never fully satisfied with the scripts we were getting.” The initial impetus that breathed life into this production came from a meeting with producer and president & CEO of Hammer, Simon Oakes, who was, at the time, in the process of re-launching the historic Hammer brand. “I think it’s fair to say I was cautious about where that would lead, as

there’d been other attempts to revitalise Hammer over the years,” reveals Jackson. “But Simon made it clear they were very serious and there was a level of ambition to ensure that we’re making a film that would be very high-end and both respectful of Susan’s narrative voice but at the same time that would appeal to contemporary audiences.” “Simon was always very clear to me from the outset that his incarnation of Hammer would focus on horror movies that were intelligent,” continues Jackson. “And I knew that would be something Susan Hill would respond to favourably, as well.” For Simon Oakes, The Woman in Black was one of the first properties of interest to the recently reborn genre label. “One of the things we talked about, as a team, when we first put this new incarnation of Hammer together was that horror is made of many different genres and subgenres but in recent years the tendency has been for body count horror,” he explains. “We wanted to explore different kinds of horror, and while there’d been a TV movie and a stage play, we recognised a great opportunity in The Woman in Black to combine Susan Hill’s gothic ghost story with a modern sensibility to turn it into a feature film.” The production sought a screenwriter capable of overcoming the hurdles experienced by those who had taken on the task in previous years. “We identified Jane Goldman as someone we all wanted to work with,” says Jackson. “And she was excited from the outset. She was able to crack it in terms of overcoming the central problems of how to tell this story for film.” Says Oakes: “I’d read about Jane and knew about her work, and I knew she’d be right for it. Her screenplay made everything fall into place. James Watkins, the director, read it and loved it. Daniel Radcliffe read it right after the last day of Harry Potter and loved it. Jane had a huge part to play in getting the right people involved.” Susan Hill says she was thrilled with the result. “When Jane sent me the script it was for me to look at it and say, ‘Yeah, this is fine, but…’” she explains. “But I just thought it was terrific. Jane, I think, thought that I might be offended by some of the changes to the story, but that wasn’t what worried me. What would have worried me is if she’d turned it into something like a comedy, but she hadn’t. She’s just so skilled. She’s managed to make it her own while still allowing it to be mine.” Goldman was concerned that she strike the right balance of tone in writing her screenplay. “It’s a tough one to adapt,” she says. “It’s a wonderful novel, and there was a brilliant theatre adaptation that was so much designed for the theatre. I think it was always clear, because it’s a very economically told story, that to work as a film it needed additional layers.”

She continues: “For me it was about introducing The Woman in Black to a cinema-going audience. In a way, I was attempting to do in cinematic language what Stephen Mallatratt had done in the theatre.” Coincidentally, at the same time, Eden Lake director James Watkins had read a story in the trade press about Jane Goldman writing the screenplay, and asked his agent to inquire about the project. “I’d been working on a ghost story myself, but I couldn’t make it work for me,” Watkins explains. “When I read Jane’s script, it spoke to everything that I wanted to achieve with the other project. It just had that sense that it was scary but it also had an emotional element in it. It really moved me, and as soon as I’d read it I knew I wanted to do it.” “James is a very, very smart guy,” says Simon Oakes. “He’s a great director who understands both how to tell a story and how to get great scares out of it.” Watkins brings a relaxed attitude to the set, according to actress Liz White, who plays the ghostly Woman in Black. “I auditioned for the part about two months before shooting and at that first meeting James was just so generous,” she says. “And he’s been that generous throughout the shoot. I’ve always felt welcomed to The Woman in Black family.” Working with Watkins, Jane Goldman began a process of refining the script; a process she believes has helped maintain the spirit of Susan Hill’s novel. “In early drafts there were a number of flashbacks involving the Woman,” she reveals, “but we were able to work through this process of continually dialling it back. I feel that it’s much stronger because of that – there’s not some American backstory about how the Woman in Black became the Woman in Black. It’s not Freddy Krueger! It’s about Arthur’s experience of discovering these horrific secrets and our discovering what happened through his eyes.” Important for producer Richard Jackson, too, was that The Woman in Black be accessible to audiences generally disinclined to enjoy genre cinema. “We’re trying to ensure that the people who want to go and see a movie will consider The Woman in Black as their first choice because it’s sufficiently well made to engage them,” he says. “Regardless of whether they’d normally be interested in horror or those genre elements. And that’s Daniel Radcliffe’s attraction as the star – to encourage a much wider audience to buy their tickets and come and enjoy it.”

.Casting Arthur. Casting the role of the film’s protagonist, Arthur Kipps, director James Watkins sought a young actor with the talent necessary to bring the right mix of sadness and vulnerability to the screen. For Watkins, Daniel Radcliffe, best known for his role in the blockbusting Harry Potter series, was the obvious choice. “I met with Dan and we had a long chat, and we both saw the character in the same way,” he explains. “Arthur Kipps is a very rich character for Dan to play, and a much darker place for him to explore.” Jane Goldman had been involved in the process of adapting The Woman in Black to the screen long before Radcliffe was cast. “I always pictured Arthur as young,” she says. “Especially since it’s set in that era, and in terms of his position in society.” “The planets aligned, really, in terms of getting the script to Daniel,” says producer Richard Jackson. “He read it as soon as he’d received it, on a plane journey to the US, and when he got off the plane he phoned his agents and said he wanted to do it.” For his part, Radcliffe recognised the need to strike out from the role of the boy wizard that made him famous. “I’m very, very proud of Potter,” Radcliffe says. “But I now have to prove to people that I’m serious about acting, and I think the way to do that is to start selecting some interesting material.” Goldman’s screenplay, and the meeting with Watkins, was enough to convince the young actor that Arthur Kipps would be the right challenge to take on. “Arthur is so complex but there’s a real stillness to him as well,” Radcliffe shares. “It was a very interesting character to get a chance to play.” The opportunity to play in a Victorian ghost story was also appealing. “When I first met James he mentioned a Kubrick quote about how all films with a supernatural element are inherently consoling because they imply an afterlife,” he explains. “Suddenly, here’s this guy who’s lost his wife, goes to this house and starts seeing the ghost of a dead woman. The reason he stays there and almost tries to find her is that in there is some hidden desire, or instinct, to get some sort of assurance that his wife is in a better place.” For director James Watkins, Daniel Radcliffe brings a sense of maturity to the role of Arthur Kipps that was exactly what he was looking for. “He’s just so dedicated to his craft,” Watkins explains. “He put a lot of trust in me and allowed me to take him to different places in terms of his acting

and the role, and I think he’s really excavated and explored aspects of himself and pushed himself as an actor in really different ways.” Watkins thinks audiences will be surprised by Radcliffe’s transformation for the role. “It’s a reinvention of Dan, as Dan the grown-up actor,” he says. “I think people are going to be quite breathtaken when they see the new Dan.” “I don’t think I’ve seen someone throw themselves into a piece of work so totally,” says Jane Goldman of Radcliffe’s work ethic. “We met up a few times at very early stages to talk about the character, and he was keen to put everything he had into it.” When Susan Hill heard Radcliffe had been cast in the role, she was thrilled. “I’d never read the Harry Potter books, nor seen the films,” she says. “But I knew who Daniel was – you couldn’t not – and the moment I met him I knew he was right.” Hill thinks audiences will be surprised by the maturity he shows in the role of Arthur Kipps, a young solicitor and father. “I don’t think we could have found anyone better, really.” She adds: “Daniel said in an interview that this isn’t just a spooky horror. It’s about grief and bereavement and what happens to people. And he’s right – it’s got a serious element and he’s captured that. He’s understood it.” Radcliffe describes Arthur Kipps as a man “so completely destroyed by his wife’s death that he has found it almost impossible to live in the human world for the last four years.” He continues: “Arthur’s been unable to connect with people, particularly his son. He loves him, but he hasn’t been there for him as he should have been. He’s not been able to give him a happy childhood so far, because he doesn’t have that capacity for happiness.” Radcliffe points to Kipps’s first appearance in Jane Goldman’s screenplay as being particularly indicative of his mental state. “When we meet him at the beginning, he really is a man on the edge,” he explains. “The first time you see him he’s got a cutthroat razor to his throat. It happens to be that he’s shaving, but I always thought that he’s definitely stood there before, considering killing himself.” For Radcliffe, the particular challenge of playing Arthur has been in the character’s peculiar stillness. “There are moments when you shouldn’t be sure what Arthur’s thinking,” he says. “You know it’s probably not happy thoughts, but you’re not sure exactly why, or what he’s going through at particular moments. That just leaves a little bit more room for the audience to relate, because

they can just insert any emotion that they assume he might be feeling. Ambiguity leaves room for connection there, I think.” “He really inhabited the role,” says James Watkins of Radcliffe’s commitment to the part. “It got to a point where we had such shorthand that I could suggest just tiny little touches on the tiller. He really didn’t need direction by the end. He understood exactly who the character was, and really lived him.” Watkins is well aware that gushing about your lead actor is a director’s default setting, but in Radcliffe’s case, he says, he means every word. “He’s been an absolute joy to work with,” he reveals. “I know people always say that, and it hides all sorts of lies, but in this case it’s true!” Radcliffe says it’s a lead actor’s responsibility to help make a happy set. “I’ve seen film sets where the actors are playing up and they’re miserable,” he confides, “and it just filters down through everybody. But I love being on set and I love my job.” Susan Hill says that Radcliffe’s jovial personality was evident at their first meeting. “We just talked about our Border Terriers, really,” she laughs. “We had lunch at Simon’s house and I was sure he knew what he was doing. He’s intelligent and he can act, and he’s so unspoilt, which is lovely. It’s very easy at that age, with that success, to get airs and graces. But I think he’s got his feet on the ground and I think they’ll stay there. I hope one day he’ll do something else of mine, he’s just very good.”

.Defining the World In addition to Radcliffe, the film casts a varied ensemble of actors, including Ciarán Hinds, Janet McTeer and Shaun Dooley, as the residents of the creepy village of Crythin Gifford. “With Karen Lindsay-Stewart, the casting director, we decided we wanted to have a truth about the villagers,” reveals James Watkins. “We didn’t want this kind of rural otherness. We didn’t want them to be yokels, and I didn’t want it to be like you’d just walked into The Slaughtered Ram. I wanted to feel the pain of these people’s loss and the fear that underlined their behaviour.” It was important, too, that each character have its own, fully defined path to take. Says Watkins: “Through the process of casting them we did some work in rehearsal with Jane, just trying to excavate those roles a little bit more. I wanted each character to have a small story to tell, really.”

Watkins is thrilled with how the ensemble has turned out. “As a director it’s great sometimes, because you say, ‘Who do I love as an actor and who might be right for this role?’ I love Ciarán Hinds as an actor, I’ve loved him for a long time, and I thought he was perfect.” Playing the part of Arthur Kipps’s young son Joseph is Misha Handley, Daniel Radcliffe’s real life godson. “We saw a lot of young kids to play the son, but Dan and Misha just had such a bond, and I think that bond feels so true on film,” shares Watkins. “Misha’s one of the most natural young actors I’ve ever seen.” One of the key changes made to the novel is the earlier introduction of Kipps’s son who in the novel isn’t born until after Kipps returns to London from Crythin Gifford. Introduced in Goldman’s screenplay in the film’s opening scenes, Kipps’s struggle with being separated from Joseph during his time in Crythin Gifford becomes a key plot point and adds another layer of dread as the young solicitor learns the secrets of this curious village. “We wanted to track that through the whole film,” explains Watkins. “It’s fundamental in terms of what drives Arthur. As with the loss of his wife; I wanted to explore the nature of his loss, and not have it simply as an abstraction.“ “The novel works beautifully because it’s completely in the style of a classic Victorian ghost story, where you don’t ask the sort of questions that you ask when you watch a film,” explains Jane Goldman. “‘Why does Arthur not leave the village immediately? There are certain cinematic conventions that I think we needed to address. It was important to answer questions about what’s driving this character and why it’s important for him to remain in the village.” Although Susan Hill’s novel - and, indeed, Jane Goldman’s adaptation of it – tells the story of The Woman in Black in the grand tradition of Victorian ghost stories, for Goldman, finding the world of the film involved researching some unlikely cinematic sources. “The story is both unashamedly scary and full of this real, emotional depth,” she reveals. “And in adapting it I kept coming back to some of the better examples of J-Horror in recent years.” The Japanese Horror genre, dubbed J-Horror and popularised by films such as The Ring and The Grudge, has more than a little in common with classical Victorian ghost stories, Goldman says. “They’re often devastating in terms of the emotional themes, but they’re also properly scary. The two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. In Japan there’s an enormous interest in the Victorian culture anyway, and it was interesting to see those films strike that balance.”

For James Watkins, crafting a modern period film was an intriguing contradiction. “Intersecting the period world with the J-Horror world was very interesting and fresh,” he explains. “The grammar of the whole film was something I spoke at length to (cinematographer) Tim Maurice-Jones about. I didn’t want the film to look like a period piece. I wanted to shoot it with a very modern idiom in the way the camera moves, the way we establish scenes and the mise-en-scène of the whole thing.” In defining the look of Eel Marsh House, the creepy mansion cut off from the village of Crythin Gifford by a causeway that floods at high tide, Watkins was keen not to play to ghost house stereotypes. “I wanted it to have this sense of decay, but I didn’t want it to be a monochromatic cliché,” he says. With production designer Kave Quinn, he sought instead to make use of a rich colour palette, resulting in a decidedly more highly saturated look than convention would suggest. “The film has a very rich look,” continues Watkins. “We have these kinds of bruised colours. The colours of decay and death: purples and blacks and rich, deep crimsons. I really wanted that sense of the beauty of the house to come through. At the same time, it’s a haunted house, it has to have nooks and crannies and crevices and dark spaces. It’s as much about the lighting as anything.” Quinn explains that the process of designing Eel Marsh House began with scouting the location for its exterior. “At the beginning of the film, we had a fantastic location manager looking for the right house,” she says. “It needed to have its own persona, so that as soon as you saw it you knew it had some character to it. When you look at the house we found, it almost has eyes. It’s a Jacobean building and the gable at the front gives it an incredible evil look.” With the location found, Quinn sat down with Watkins to fine tune her designs for the interior of the house, based on the rough blueprint of the exterior. “I gathered together loads of research materials on things like staircases and panelling, and I knew which way I was going to go with the colours. We used bruising purples and mouldy greens to give that sense of decay.” Finding a real life location to play the odd village of Crythin Gifford proved even more challenging. “In the 21st Century, obviously anywhere we’d find would be busy and full of cars and road signs and newer buildings that needed covering up,” explains Quinn. “We wanted to try and find somewhere that had almost been untouched by time, and the village we found, Halton Gill, was right in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales, so it isn’t anywhere you’d ever pass through. It hadn’t been over-developed, so all the houses are original from something like 400 years ago.” The collaboration with director James Watkins has been “unbelievable,” says Quinn. “From my first meeting with James, we just really gelled.”

“Kave did wonders as a production designer and she’s an amazing woman,” agrees Watkins. “She really understood what I tried to get at. We designed the long corridors and the depth, so I could have real depth in the frame in the Polanski sense of looking through doorways and half seeing things.” He summarises: “A ghost story is what you can’t quite see – what’s in the corners of the frame and what’s in the margins. That was something we built into the production design.” “We’re filming in 2.35:1 instead of 1.85:1,” says Jackson, referring to the super wide aspect ratio favoured by epic Hollywood productions. “That’s a strange choice, you’d think, to begin with, because when you think of 2.35:1 you think of a big Western, and when you think of a small, claustrophobic ghost story, you think of it in 1.85:1. But it’s turned out to be really exciting as a way of shooting the story.” Cinematographer Tim Maurice-Jones says that the primary direction he got from Watkins to define the look of the film was one simple word: “contrast”. “We’ve been trying to light the sets with a single source of light only,” explains Maurice-Jones. “A lot of films will use a key light to light the face, a fill light to light any shadow that’s left, and a backlight to pick them out against the background. We’ve been trying to use light and shade to achieve that sense of contrast with just one light.” Watkins also chose to play with the basic conventions of filmmaking in order to add to the unsettling sense of dread that hangs over the film. “We used what we could to just throw things slightly off balance,” he reveals. “I’ve shot at multiple frame rates and shutter speeds, we’ll have jump cutting, discontinuous editing. You don’t want to be tricksy – I can’t stand that – but anything that serves to tell the story honestly, and that’s the key for me, is valid. No rules necessarily apply, and to have that freedom to explore is interesting.” “We’ve been very organic in that respect,” agrees editor Jon Harris, “James is great at coming up with ideas for things to pop in just to make it a little creepier. It’s very back-and-forth with us. We’ll put things together and see what works and then if he’s still on the same set he can add something to it, or apply the idea to another scene.” He continues: “We’re trying to achieve something akin to peripheral vision. Although I don’t believe in ghosts, whenever I go into an old house you find things moving in your peripheral vision. We’ve been talking a lot about how to achieve that on film, because you can try to make the audience look at one thing, but they’ll look wherever they want to.”

Watkins describes his relationship with Harris as incredibly collaborative. The pair worked together on Watkins’s feature debut, Eden Lake, as well as Harris’s directorial debut The Descent: Part 2, which Watkins co-wrote. “Jon’s been a big part of the constructing of the film pre-edit as well,” he reveals. “He shot Second Unit and was very much a part of the script collaboration process with me and Jane.” Says Harris: “Between the two of us we know what we need to make the film work. I work in the edit during production and I keep an eye on what’s being shot, and the pickups list, to make sure we’ve got what we need.”

.Designing the Woman in Black. Actress Liz White considers the Woman in Black to be a sympathetic character. “When you read the story you really get involved with the loss of her son and the distress that would have caused her,” she says. “She’s lost the trust of her sister, her father, her brother-in-law, and then to see her sister forsake the life of her child was the ultimate heartbreak.” White says that the costume and make-up helps her get into the character. “Immediately you feel so detached from everybody else,” she reveals. “You can’t look at people straight, and people don’t look at you straight. Immediately you feel as though you’re part of her world. I found it brilliant to play, because you can use your imagination and it’s all about your internal life. For an actor, that’s a joy.” Costume designer Keith Madden spent a long time researching Victorian mourning dress to find the right look for the Woman in Black. “It’s very alien to us to see this sort of thing. In the Victorian era, if a woman lost her husband or her son, this is how she’d look. I wanted the Woman to be this bride of grief. She’s heavily veiled. At the time, the fabric used was crape, which was very flat and lifeless. But that doesn’t look very good on camera, so we’ve upped the stakes and made the fabric quite gutsy, so it has a lot of strength about it. It gave a good form and a good silhouette to her.” He adds: “One of the key points early on was that we didn’t want to see any flesh. So all those vulnerable parts like the wrists from the glove to the sleeve, the back of the neck, we didn’t want to see. We wanted to put the onus on the face, so you honed in very quickly on it.” A particular detail of Madden’s costume is the Woman’s black veil, which falls on her face in such a way that it appears to form cracks in her skin. Madden reports that this effect proved to be a

happy accident of experimentation. “It was all about playing around with the fabric, and at the time I wasn’t sure how much they wanted to reveal the face,” he says. “I wanted to mask the face by putting a sheer layer very close. When you put it on and tied the ribbon underneath it almost fell like daggers or tears or folds against her skin. Combined with Jeremy’s make-up, that worked very well.” For hair and make-up designer Jeremy Woodhead, working on a character as complex, dark and scary as the Woman in Black is, “great fun. It’s proper character stuff as opposed to vanity stuff. You’re creating something where the make-up is actually important in defining the character.” He explains the philosophy behind his work in establishing her creepy, pallid look. “Obviously she’s a ghost, but we didn’t want to have the clichés of a spectral being. She’s desiccated and her skin’s all withered and dried and she’s been eaten away over time. It adds to the grief of the character. It was important not to make her a monster, she’s somebody who’s deeply wronged and extremely sad, but she was once beautiful too.” It’s not a quick process for White to be transformed into the Woman: “I get brought in normally between one or two hours before call time to start the make-up,” she says. “It takes two hours to apply and it’s basically three layers of different glue substance that sticks to your face, and this sticky, smelly chemical stuff that they put in different places. She’s meant to have been in the ground, so she’s started to decompose.” One of the ways the Woman’s peculiar presence manifests in the film is in blink-and-you-miss-it appearances early on, out of a window or through a doorway. Watkins shot several alternate takes featuring the Woman in this fashion to allow for plenty of room for experimentation in the edit. “I wanted to make a refined, subtle ghost story that has a sense of dread and a creeping, growing sense of danger,” he explains. “I didn’t want anything that went ‘boo’. You’re looking at this window, and wondering: is there something just out there? You just catch a glimpse of it. For me that’s much more terrifying.”
