This year is going pretty well for British author Clive Barker, as many of his stories are being adapted into films, with the latest being The Madonna, a short story from “Books of Blood”.
Dread producer Jorge Saralegui revealed in an interview that they will shoot Madonna before Pig Blood Blues next year. "We were looking for something to do between Dread and Pig Blood Blues,” he said. “Our other projects that we have in development were not quite ready."
"The Madonna, among the stories that are left, is clearly a movie," he adds. "It’s evenly paced, it feels like a movie and it’s easy to flesh out. What appealed to me about this is the sexuality. That’s my favorite part of horror, probably – when you start screwing with sexual notions. I felt I had a really feel for the story and I knew I couldn’t pull any punches. I pull no punches."
The story centered on a creature that lives in an abandoned bath house where men are slowly turned into women by the creature. It focuses on a gangster “who’s all guy” and starts to turn into a woman.
Interesting concept, let’s see how it turns out.
