Despite MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN‘s never-ending cycle of being buttf*cked out of a legitimate release, it appears there’s still a market for Clive Barker stories being adapted for the big-screen. And I ain’t arguing. Looks like the next tale on the chopping block is DOWN, SATAN, which is a short story (4 pages!) from Barker’s legendary BOOKS OF BLOOD.
The parable-style tale tells the story of a wealthy businessman named Gregorious who wakes one day to find God absent from his life. Driven to madness by depression and loss, Gregorious tempts the Lord by constructing a Hell on Earth – or, New Hell – in service to the Devil, hoping that the Lord would intervene. But as the torture chambers fill and the Devil refuses to show himself, Greogrious must confront his idea of faith.
Sounds awesome! The script was written by IGN DVD Editor Christopher Monfette (always cool when a fellow movie blogger nabs a gig like this). IGN conducted an interview with Monfrette, to read it click HERE.
