Courtesy of Antipax’s Hellraiser Gallery comes this super-informative interview with producer John Harrison at iF Magazine. A collaborator of both Clive Barker’s and George Romero’s, Harrison reveals among many other juicy tidbits that the forthcoming Diary of the Dead is most definitely a return to the initial zombie outbreak portrayed in Night of the Living Dead rather than a sequel moving us further forward into the post-apocalyptic world of the subsequent Dead films; that Barker’s multimillion dollar Abarat project at Disney might well have seen its film incarnation die with Disney’s feature animation department upon the absorption of Pixar; and that the framing stories from Barker’s Books of Blood series are being combined into a film entitled, appropriately enough, Clive Barker’s Books of Blood. Jeez, go and read it already!
