Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn Writing Script For The Secret Service

HeatVision reports that Matthew Vaughn is indeed developing Mark Millar/Dave Gibbon's future comic release The Secret Service into a film. They also mention that Vaughn along with longtime writing partner Jane Goldman (Woman In Black, The Debt) will be working on the film's script. However, they do say that Vaughn is only supervising the scripwriting on Superior. Goldman and Vaughn have previously worked together on Stardust, Kick-Ass and X-Men First Class. Knowing they'll be writing together again on this project makes me believe that Secret Service could be Vaughn's next film. There has also been talk of Matthew developing Jonathan Ross' comics Golden Age and Turf into films as well, Ross of course is Jane's husband.

Ciarán Hinds Joins The Woman In Black

Based on the novel by Susan Hill and adapted by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, X-Men First Class, Stardust) the The Women In Black follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the UK and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in an old and isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover its tragic secrets, and his unease grows when he discovers that the local village is held hostage by the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance.


Deadline reports Ciarán Hinds (Munich, Rome) and Janet Mcteer have joined Daniel Radcliffe in the film.


Hammer Films who is making the film is best known for the renaissance of horror film making back in the 60's-70's. They're coming back with cool looking films like The Resident and Let Me In.
