Clive Barkers Books of Blood & Midnight Meat Train

Clive Barker is making for a big come back in the horror genre. He is planning on pumping out 2 horror movies a year. The first two movies will be from Clives "Books of Blood" and of course "The Midnight Meat Train".

According to Variety, Lakeshore Entertainment has been set to finance "The Midnight Meat Train," an adaptation of the Barker story about a Gotham-based photographer's effort to track down "the subway butcher," a search that leads to an unholy secret. The pic was adapted by Jeff Buhler and will be directed by Patrick Tatopoulous, a horror vet who has done extensive creature and production design work. Lions Gate will distribute and production will start in the fall.

"Jorge and I want to wind up with a library of pictures that will reflect my sensibilities, which are decidedly R rated," Barker said. "In fact, the moment I make a PG-13 horror movie, you can take me out and shoot me. Our desire is to leave you feeling that we're a little crazy."

Pics will be exec produced by Seraphim's Joe Daley and DiBlasi. Barker will polish every script. They will set up "Pig Blood Blues" and "New York Resurrection" when the scripts are ready later this year, and hope to form a long-term alliance with a financier that will permit them to own or partly control the film's negative.
