Hammer Films and Hammer Studio's Ltd has been purchased by John Gore and is the new CEO

British theater producer John Gore has acquired Hammer Films and Studios, and he’ll lead a new team aiming to revitalize the legendary brand.

“Under Gore’s management, the plan is to invest significantly in Hammer Films to breathe new life into the studio, blending the nostalgic charm of Hammer with modern cinematic style and innovation, while preserving its heritage and library,” Variety’s exclusive report details. “A new slate of films and projects will be unveiled imminently.”




 
Back in December when we unveiled Hammer Presents, Steve Rogers ended our conversation about the range by assuring us it was ‘only the beginning’. Turns out that was an understatement. Already in 2026 we’ve had news that an array of Hammer soundtracks, remastered and available on vinyl, will soon be available, beginning with music from The Curse of Frankenstein (1957).

And now we’re delighted to confirm another major new range. The House of Hammer represents ‘a massive undertaking’ that will see a succession of Blu-rays and accompanying booklets released on a regular basis, providing archive rarities, brand new, bespoke programmes and lavishly illustrated, in-depth articles.
