According to foreign media reports, Clive Barker will return to the executive production team of the upcoming HBO series adaptation of "Raising Ghosts and Eating People" (also known as "Ghost Chasing Ghosts").
The famous writer and filmmaker published his novel The Heart of Hell in 1986. In 1987, it was adapted into the movie "Raising Ghosts and Eating People", and is highly regarded as the pioneer of the "Raising Ghosts and Eating People" series.
Buck will serve as the executive producer of the first "Raising Ghosts and Eating People" TV series. It is worth noting that this is the first time that Buck has participated in the adaptation of "Raising Ghosts and Eating People 4" since 1996.
This episode is by no means a remake, but an upgraded continuation and expansion of "Raising Ghosts and Eating People".
The central figure is still the ruthless leader of the Hell Cultivators, "Nail Head".
Hell Cultivators are demons that previous humans turn into, who live in a realm of other dimensions and open the gates of hell through a Magic Cube called Ramon's Magic Cube. Hell cultivators come from Hell to harvest human souls and maintain a balance between good and evil. "
As early as April, HBO announced that it was developing a TV series version of "Raising Ghosts and Eating People". The series has a fantastic team that includes David Gordon Green (Moonlight Panic), Michael Doherty (Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters) and screenwriter Mark Vesitton on Battlestar Galactica).
When the news was announced in April, Buck was not involved. He was quoted as saying in the report, "Glad the story has a new lease of life," he added, "Now is the time for the story to return to its roots." I aspire to bring the most powerful and oldest element of horror to new audiences: the darkest evil invading our lives, and the strength we must find in ourselves to resist it. "
Although the first film was written and directed by Buck, his involvement in later film series gradually diminished. According to the author and filmmaker, he was completely uninvolved in Ghost Eater 9: Apocalypse.
So, obviously, he changed his mind about this new project. Or maybe HBO lured Buck so he couldn't resist.
Buck has obviously been very busy lately. He is now not only returning to the Ghost Eater series, but is also working on the TV series Nocturnal Horror and The Blood Book project (both adapted from his novels).
