Midnight Meat Train

[Galactus]

From Comic-Con:

Midnight Meat Train
(2008)
Vinnie Jones, Leslie Bibb, Bradley Cooper, Cliver Barer and the director all showed up for the presentation which showed two trailers for the film as well, one an exclusive world premiere. Barker says his visit to a real slaughterhouse really informs on the film - you won't find any soft pedalling of horror here, and he is happy to say this is the best adaptation of one of Barker's short stories put to screen and it's very faithful to the original work in both tone and content. The clip was quite bloody, showing the serial killer bathing in blood and bludgeoning his victim's to death. The director's aims was to beat both "Hellraiser" and "Candyman", the only two good adaptations of his work so far. All the scary scenes on the train were shot in the final two weeks of filming. Barker himself seemed out of it, making some very odd references from Clinton to the pot cookie session which gave him the title, so much so Vinnie Jones made fun of Barker soon after. Odd, but easily the most fun panel moment of the con so far.

This is going to put Clive back on the map.

I agree! I have been waiting for soooo long for another film adaptation from him off one of his stories. For anyone not familiar with his work, some movies based on his books/stories if your not much of a reader. Although I suggest you read the books since they are better and a lot of his stories haven't been made into films.

Hellraiser
Nightbreed
Candyman
Lord of Illusions.

New Saw IV, Meat Train Pics!

Lionsgate has released two new images from the upcoming sequel Saw IV and Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train. As usual, the studio is keeping anything "Saw"-related pretty ambiguous. On the other hand, they have no problem dragging the "Meat Train" killer known as Mahogany (Vinnie Jones) into the spotlight.

Clive Barker on Midnight Meat Train

 

[Drizzle]

They showed the trailer of this with Good Luck Chuck. Everyone in the theater laughed at the title harder than they laughed during the actual movie.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

They showed this infornt of GLC when the name of the movie was said oh my god i gotta see this on name alone.

 

[tzarinna]

But I don't want to see Good Luck Chuck.

 

[Hush]

Good Luck Chuck was hilarious if you are a Dane Cook fan. and the Trailer was just damn good.

B ut yes you do, It has Nekked Men in it. Plus Jessica Alba who's always good for males or females.

Worst. Title. Ever.

Read the short story. It's a great title. I still dream of Rawhead Rex getting a movie worthy of him. He's a great villian-a nine foot tall shark-toothed beast who eats ponies, children, pisses on a priest and gelds a cop, but won't eat a woman because he senses that she's on her period. Give me that movie, Hollywood...if you got the balls.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Great minds think alike.t:

Trailer

 

[Warhammer]

I bet in theaters, this got an even better laugh than Blood & Chocolate's trailer. Man, was my theater dying when they heard that title.

 

[tzarinna]

Thank you, Hunter! :heart:
Saved me a trip to the movies.

It's sounds like Ava Devine should be in it

Thank you, Hunter! :heart:

No problem Tza

I'm curious as to how they'll handle the creatures in this. They only appear briefly near the end of the story. Out of the Books of Blood, I don't know if I would've adapted this one in particular either. Dammit, I just want an NC-17 rated Rawhead movie done right-similar to the beautifully painted comic adaptation done in the early nineties. Midnight Meat Train was also adapted in the Tapping The Vein comics, but that was so-so.
