Hammer, one of Britain’s oldest production labels, was launched in 1934 and hit its peak during the 1950s and 1960s thanks in part to Sir Christopher’s Count Dracula.
The last Hammer film he appeared in was To the Devil… A Daughter in 1976. Younger fans have been introduced to the actor thanks to parts in the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars trilogies.
He will join Oscar winner Hilary Swank and Watchmen’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan for Hammer’s new thriller Invasion Of Privacy.
The film will be released under the banner of Hammer Films, although Exclusive Media Group is financing the project, which will be directed by debutant Antti J. Jokinen.
