Book of Blood is a horror film awaiting release which is based on two short stories by Clive Barker, one of the same title, published in Volume One of the collection Books of Blood and the other in Volume Six of the collection called On Jerusalem Street: A Postscript. The plot features a young man who finds a place of transportation of souls in the afterlife. It is being directed by John Harrison. Leading actors include Jonas Armstrong, Sophie Ward, and Reg Fuller. Other actors include Doug Bradley, James Watson, Simon Bamford, and Romana Abercromby.
Book of Blood is the sixth story to be adapted from Barker's collection, following Rawhead Rex (filmed in 1986); The Forbidden (filmed in 1992 as Candyman); The Last Illusion (filmed in 1995 as Lord of Illusions); The Body Politic (filmed in 1997 within Quicksilver Highway); and The Midnight Meat Train. During his appearance at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors he noted this film will be followed by Dread, Pig Blood Blues, and then Madonna.[1]
Production
Adapted and directed by John Harrison from one of Clive Barker's Books of Blood, the film shoot occurred in Scotland, including Dundas Castle through December 2007 and into early 2008. Following exposure at the 2008 European Film Market, and the completion of the FX shoot in London, the film is awaiting release.[2] Book of Blood is set to have its North American premiere on the big screen during the Montreal Fantasia film festival on July 13th, 2009[3].
