Well, apparently after getting stretched in too many damn directions, Clive Barker has finally decided to cut back a little bit. When Phil & Sarah Stokes interviewed him on his official site, he announced he was moving away from his involvement with Seraphim Films, the company behind his upcoming films MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, THE THIEF OF ALWAYS, and TORTURED SOULS.
Barker said, “I would never pitch a project again, I decided. I would never go to a studio to pitch a project - if they wanted to come to talk to me about something, then of course, I would listen, but my pitching days, with all the anxiety attached to them, and then often the sense that it wasn’t really worth the effort you put in anyway, or else the idea you find is stolen from you and used somewhere later - which has happened to me countless times - I’m just over that.”
Hopefully, Barker will finish the long gestating “Abarat” series, the Pinhead adventure novella “Scarlet Gospels”, and the screenplay for the 2008 HELLRAISER remake.
