Hammer Films, currently looking to return to motion picture production with projects like THE RESIDENT and LET ME IN (CLOVERFIELD director Matt Reeves' take on LET THE RIGHT ONE IN), is also moving towards publishing books based on its extensive array of properties.

They've allied with PFD (a lit agency in Britain) to make it happen. Per PFD CEO Caroline Michel...

Michel said the agency will look for partnerships with publishers in all territories to "bring new life to the brand with exciting contemporary writers," the way it has done with the James Bond franchise, by tapping scribes such as Sebastian Faulks and Charlie Higson to write books based on the secret agent for different audiences.
[EDIT]

Hammer, which was behind literary based horror pics like "Dracula" and "The Curse of Frankenstein" in the 1950s, currently has 15 pics in development and is wrapping up "The Resident" as its first major release since the 1980s. Thriller, that was helmed by musicvid director Antti Jokinen, stars Hilary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Christopher Lee, who played Dracula in several Hammer releases.

For a complete list of Hammer titles which could (presumably) be fodder for bookification, GO HERE! CAPTAIN KRONOS: VAMPIRE HUNTER, WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH, QUATERMASS, MOON ZERO TWO. So much more. So much fun...
