First Look at Vinnie Jones In Kitamura's Adaptation of Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train

I've had the screenplay for a while but haven't gotten around to give it a read. From what I understand it's supposed to be exceedingly gory. Hopefully it's more than just an addition to this whole "torture-porn" trend that's all the rage right now.

Well, it needs to be gory if it aims to be a faithful adaptation of the short story it's based on. But no, it certainly shouldn't fall into the torture porn genre; rather it should start out as a slasher/giallo and then turn into a batshit insane borderline Lovecraftian monster flick. I really want this to be the first watchable Barker-based movie since Bernard Rose's sublime CANDYMAN more than 10 years ago.

That shot of Vinnie Jones looks odd. When I saw it I thought it was from the remake of TAXI DRIVER. Crap, am I going to give some Hollywood suit an idea with this?

Thanks Caterpillar, nice to hear it's more Argento than Roth. I'll give it a read now that's it's back on my radar.

And that still isn't helped by Vinnie's Forest Gump haircut.
