Thema: Clive Barker's Books of Blood (ehem. als Serie geplant)

Clive Barker und Brannon Braga arbeiten derzeit an einer Serienadaption von Barkers Büchern des Blutes.
Da die Geschichten ziemlich breit gefächert sind, dürfte es interessant werden. Vor allem, wenn Barker direkt beteiligt ist.

Clive Barker Talks “Books of Blood” TV Series, Which Will Include Brand New Barker Stories

It was sort of quietly announced last year that Brannon Braga (“Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “24,” “Salem”) was developing a small screen adaptation of Clive Barker’s Books of Blood, the six volumes of original Barker stories that were published in the mid-’80s. A few stories from those collections have already been adapted for the screen, including The Midnight Meat Train, Rawhead Rex and Dread, but the series aims to bring as many of them to life as possible. Not only that, but it’ll also feature brand new stories from Barker!

In a chat posted on the official Clive Barker website, Barker teased the upcoming series.

“The television adaptation of The Books of Blood, a series I’m working on with Brannon Braga, is going forth, speedily, and working with Brannon is an absolute joy,” Barker revealed. “I should add I think, because this is tasty, the series has been expanded from the stories in the Books of Blood with stories that have been developed by me along the style of the Books of Blood stories – because it’s thirty years since I wrote the Books of Blood and my mind has certainly not remained empty of those kind of ideas. So there are, I think, about thirty narratives which I have developed which you could call ‘Books of Blood stories’, as narrative outlines, but I haven’t yet turned them into stories. We will probably turn at least some of those into episodes for the television series.”

He continued, “What I’m trying to do is at very least match, and in some cases surpass, the intensity of the original Books of Blood. Some of those stories have a nod and a wink to another kind of narrative – I mean New Murders in the Rue Morgue, is an example, obviously a nod to Poe, but then there’s Rawhead Rex which is a straight-off monster story, and I want to revisit those kinds of stories. I want to do a new monster story for instance, something that is fresh and for a modern audience. I am hoping that in the Books of Blood series we will not only go to the most chilling and intense of the books but I will add to that sum of stories new tales that perhaps wouldn’t even have occurred to me thirty years ago. The world has changed. The world has become a darker, scarier place since then, unbelievably but it’s true.”

Ich will ja demnächst starten mit den Büchern. Daher finde ich die Neuigkeit ziemlich cool!

Dankeschön!!

[Elena Marcos]

Das finde ich ehrlich gesagt - richtig gut. Bin super gespannt...

[Thomas Covenant]

Daraus wird jetzt ein Film der nur drei Geschichten umfassen soll.
Brannon Braga (StarTrek) und Seth Mcfarlane sollen verantwortlich sein.
Sind ja wahre Könner im Horror-Genre

Schade!

Sieht wirklich ordentlich aus, ich erkenne die 3 Vorlagegeschichten aber nicht auf Anhieb.

[Thomas Covenant]

Erste Kritik spricht von einem lahmen schreckfreien Erlebnis.
War fast zu erwarten mit Star Treks Brannon Braga im Hintergrund.

Heute auf Disney+ gesehen. Bin recht unterwältigt. Die Optik ist teils recht schön gelungen, aber Spannung ist Fehlanzeige.
Kann man sich sparen.
