Barker's "Abarat" Dead at Disney
Finally, word from the Clive Barker camp regarding the elusive movie versions of his "Abarat" books! In his latest interview for the Revelations Web site, Clive announces that the Disney deal is officially dead. Many who found the linkage of Barker and Disney a bit odd from the onset will breathe a sigh of relief. Others are likely to gasp at the thought of the film cycle being delayed even further.
Fearfodder's take? It's very good news indeed, especially as explained by Clive himself. Because Candy Quackenbush, the main character of the novels, does not age very much over the course of the epic story, he thinks it only makes sense that all books and scripts should be written before the first film goes into production. Makes sense to me.
Does this mean Clive is now planning on playing a more hands-on role in the forging of the movies? We can only hope. My understanding of the Disney arrangement is that he was more or less willing to let them run wild with the rights they purchased from him. The "Abarat" quintet is shaping up to be one of the most important publishing events in the history of fantasy fiction, one whose full impact may not be felt for many years to come (click here to learn more about the process and evolution of the author-illustrated books). It would be a shame for the film adaptations not to be treated accordingly.
But for those of you more interested in Clive's adult fare, be encouraged by the fact that he is over 3,000 pages into the third draft of his Pinhead novel, "The Scarlet Gospels," as well as the fact that he calls it "without doubt the darkest book I have ever written." One way or another, it's an exciting time to be a Clive Barker fan.--Pete Mesling

I wish I knew more, Nick. If the books are ever adapted on the scale of "The Lord of the Rings," we could be in for some serious eye candy, at the very least.

-- Posted by: moe at September 15, 2007 11:49 PM(Yes, my last name really is Carrion.)
The books were WONDERFUL!!!! I kinda sorta feel bad for Carrion. I mean, he falls head over heels for a woman, and she goes and tries to marry this pretty boy!! :O He did go too far when he ordered the dragon to kill her, though.
Not that I don't like the fact that Barker wants a director who will stay true to the characters and books, but could he PLEASE HURRY UP AND CHOOSE SOMEONE!! I really wanna see that movie! (I hope it'll be as good as the books....)
-- Posted by: Tasha Carrion at January 2, 2008 8:24 AMMy friend just recently gave me the book in december i finished it.. and was looking for info on the second book and i found this... i love the book and i hope the movie comes out.
My god thats exciting to read about a
somethin like that!

-- Posted by: clufzyg vhulqz at October 5, 2008 3:57 PMMany couples that have difficulty conceiving through natural methods choose to undergo various fertility treatments to increase their chances of becoming pregnant. One of the most popular medications used to heighten fertility is Clomid. Used for over 30 years to help induce and regulate ovulation, Clomid is often highly successful at producing a pregnancy.

-- Posted by: California Divorce Lawyer at February 4, 2009 4:12 AMIt's such an amazing series. I'm dying to read the third book. The publication date has been pushed back so many times it's painful. In fact, I've been waiting on the third book since I was in middle school, and I'm now a Junior in high school.
I'm afraid that by the time all of the books in the series are published, general interest will be lost in making a screen adaption, which would be awful. I'm actually looking forward to a screen adaption.
