Clive Barker And Guillermo Del Toro Team Up For BORN!

Okay, before getting too excited about this it is worth pointing out that Del Toro is on board as a producer with directing duties being handled by Dan Simpson, who also adapted Barker’s source material, but with Barker on board as executive producer and Del Toro on as a producer plus a cast centered on Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, it’s hard to imagine this going too far wrong. The film version of Barker’s story is gearing up to shoot right now, here’s the official synopsis:
A young couple. A quaint English village. A deadly secret.
This is the world of Born. Combining elements of The Sixth Sense, The Wicker Man, Rosemary’s Baby, and Straw Dogs, Born tells the story of a couple who thought they had found the perfect place to start a family and pursue their professional dreams, only to find themselves caught in a terrifying supernatural plot.
Joe and Vanessa thought they had everything. They’ve settled in an idyllic English town that will be perfect for both raising their unborn child and for Joe to build his dream claymation workshop. From the local hospitality to the rich red molding clay found in the town quarry, it would seem they’ve settled in paradise. But something isn’t quite right. The locals are almost too friendly, and while using the clay Joe begins to have eerie visions of a young girl’s murder. Gradually, the story being told in his animation foreshadows the fate of Joe and Vanessa, leading Born to a terrifying conclusion that will shock audiences, leaving them breathless.
Very nice.

I thought Claymation was actually a trademark registered to Will Vinton of “The California Raisins” infamy? Hope nobody gets in trouble over that.

I’m sure they have a bevy of attorneys hammering out agreements.
What a wonderful pairing though!
