New Clive Barker Projects on the Horizon!

The popular horror site Fangoria.com talked with filmmaker Steven Hoban (Christmas Horror) of Copperheart Entertainment at this past summer’s Fantasia festival about some upcoming projects he’s currently working and two of them are Clive Barker related!

Here’s what he had to say:

“There’s a Clive Barker story, ‘The Yattering and Jack,’ that we want to put in the sequel,” Hoban tells us. “There was no way to do our Santa story and ‘Yattering and Jack’ in the first one; that would have been two really big pieces. But we do want to put it in the next one, and make it the centerpiece of the movie.”

That’s not the only Copperheart/Barker project to look forward to, Hoban says. “We’ve got a big animated feature adaptation of a Clive story called ‘Zoombies’; our version is called NIGHT OF THE ZOOMBIES, and it’s basically MADAGASCAR meets THE WALKING DEAD. We’re very excited about that. We also have a TV series called INCARNATE that Clive is involved with. It was created by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, who were behind the American version of PRIMEVAL and writer/producers on STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE; they’re great Canadian genre-TV writers. They came up with this show based on a book that Gar had written years earlier, which is basically a very cool supernatural procedural. Clive is an executive producer, and a creative consultant; he’s been working on the characters and the story with Judy and Gar, and he has become a kind of unofficial production designer. He’s such a terrific artist; he’s created what he calls his ‘morgue of imagery,’ and has been sending us this great artwork.”

I hope these both come to fruition especially The Yattering and Jack which is a fan favorite from The Books of Blood collection. Because let’s face it the Tales from Darkside episode didn’t come close to doing justice. We’ll keep you informed as more news comes in.
