NEWS: REPORTED IN U.S.VARIETY TRADE PAPER TODAY! Millennium to Release Hammer Titles in U.S.

Deal covers pics including 'Dracula: Prince of Darkness,' 'Frankenstein Created Woman'

Millennium Entertainment will distribute titles from Exclusive Media’s Hammer library in the U.S. in a deal that covers Hammer titles going back to 1966’s “Dracula: Prince of Darkness.”

Millennium said the alliance will introduce the Hammer Horror brand to a new audience not familiar with the Hammer titles classic line and provide limited edition Blu-rays and Collector’s Sets over the next several years.

First three-film set will be released in April and include “Dracula Prince of Darkness,” Peter Cushing in “The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires” and “Frankenstein Created Woman.”

Hammer has been part of Exclusive Media since 2008. Launched in 1934 as a specialist in horror, it returned to features after a three-decade absence in 2010 with “Let Me In.”

Presumably, these will be most - if not all - of what has been released in the UK via StudioCanal, ie the titles AB had released in the US previously.
