All right, so what’s revealed in the latest interview? Well, Clive revealed that Book of Blood will be screening in LA this week, and he’s said the studios who have seen it have responded wonderfully to it. He’s hoping a small studio picks it up instead of a Lionsgate so the nightmare that was the Midnight Meat Train release (it’s now playing for free on Fearnet, thank the gods) won’t be repeated.
He also mentioned the McFarlane Toys will be revisiting the Tortured Souls toy line again soon, though the only plan now is to make large resin versions of the first series. Maybe if it does well we’ll finally see more figures for the line? We can hope!
He’s also happy with the changes being made to the script and original story. ”I think dark as the story was, it’s darker now, I think the movie will be darker than the story. That may in some part be because you’re not inside the heads of these characters in quite the same way – do you know what I mean? You know, you’re watching them from the outside and, God!, there’s so much cruelty in that story, and madness and breakdown and it really is quite a thing.”
Sounds pretty damn good to me! Be sure to hit the link above and set some time aside to read through the whole interview, and keep it here for a report from the set of Dread in the coming weeks!
