Three years later and hammer production had lost the TV production and the company were in effect in hibernation, until recently 2010 where Hammer released its first theatrical feature of the 21st century in October 2010 with 'Let Me In' the company has since gone on to reproduce 'the woman in black' starring Daniel Radcliffe which has been a huge hit in the UK so it seems Hammer Pictures is back with a bang.
