Hammer Films continues its climb towards resurrection with THE RESIDENT, which'll shoot in May starring Hillary Swank.

Swank will play a doctor who moves into a Brooklyn loft. Becoming suspicious that she's not alone in her new home, she discovers her landlord is a stalker.


...says THIS article at Variety.

Finnish filmmaker Antti J. Jokinen will co-script and direct. Jokinen's directed videos for a bevy of uber-talent (including Shania Twain, Eminem - below):









...as well heading-up videos for overseas groups like Nightwish and Lordi (below). Check out that Lordi video - it's all kindsa freaky.

Nightwish - Nemo

    ...resurgence, but I doubt they can ever bring back the glory days. I hope they can find their own unique niche in a modern market. Any original thought these day is welcome in my book!

    Will she die at the end?

    by bobparr

    I think it's in her contract that she wins an Oscar everytime she dies at the end.

    Yeah but...

    by darth macchio

    ..I love Hillary Swank. Not stalker-creepy "she doesn't know that we're married" love but the "can't take my eyes off her" compelling thing. Even in something boring or cheesey...I still find her totally captivating. Even in the horrible Next Karate Kid and her bad haircut...she's still beautiful. Shallow I know..she's also a great actor but that's incidental to an extent...

    It ain't really Hammer in my eyes.

    by my mom is a whore

    Hammer died many years ago, just like Samuel L Jackson and Sam Raimi.

    That Lordi video

    by kizeesh

    looks vaguely like the pisstake Wonderboy video by Tenacious D, but it's amazing how a band who look a bit silly but acceptable on the video suddenly look like a bunch of fat LARPers on stage in real life.
    I prefered the other Rock hallalujah video, the one with them appearing in the highschool gym and the hot goth chick singing along with her ipod.

    Clearly the most unbelievable aspect is ...

    by geekgasm

    ... that anybody would bother to stalk Hillary Swank. Put a bridle on that beast and send her out to pasture.

    Way to piss away that Oscar cred, Swank

    by caruso_stalker217

    Maybe she can co-star with Cuba Gooding Jr. in a movie about two retards who fall in love. It's a shoo-in, you fuckers! Shoo-in!
