Clive Barker Confirms “Nightbreed” Series Has Begun Production

For years there have been rumors of a “Nightbreed” series. Clive Barker himself has now revealed during a chat with Coming Soon that the series adaptation of his book is indeed on the way and that Trick ‘r Treat‘s Michael Dougherty is directing. It’s exciting, after 30 years, to go back to these characters and find out who’s still speaking to me, who wants their story told,” Barker told the site. “My tongue isn’t in my cheek when I say that as when I start a piece. It’s listening. The writing is a piece of listening. I’ve always said I was a journalist and what I was reporting on was the space between my ears.” “Nightbreed” centers on a group of underground dwelling half-human/half-monsters who seek refuge from the human world. A reluctant hero, struggling to cope with his new-found supernatural status attempts to lead the group as they are discovered and attacked by humans. Morga Creek’s James Robinson, David

Thomas Jane Adapting Stephen King’s ‘From A Buick 8’

Over the years several directors have been attached to direct adaptation of Stephen King‘s 2002 novel From a Buick 8, including George A Romero, Tobe Hooper, and William Brent Bell, but none of the films have come to fruition. But that may be changing. Thomas Jane, who appears in three King adaptations (Dreamcatcher, The Mist, 1922) is now determined to adapt it for a feature film. Jane teamed up last year with Courtney Lauren Penn to create Renegade Entertainment and they have From a Buick 8 in their headlights. That’s not all, Jane recently revealed on The Kingcast podcast that Stake Land‘s Jim Mickle has now signed on to direct. We are assuming Jane will star. The story “centers around the rural town of Statler, Pennsylvania where the state police have kept a mysterious 1954 Buick Roadmaster in the shed behind the barracks for over twenty years. When the town is plagued by strange and supernatural events, it turns out
