Clive Barker sues for Hellraiser rights.

Now it might be a race to see who can get something done first. If he does get the rights back by next year the HBO series and the Goyer movie could still be released as long as it's before that point where he reacquires the rights. But since production on pretty much everything has halted his timing might really be perfect.

Then the question becomes what he intends to do with those rights. Does he want to stop those productions and let the franchise die? Does he want to cooperate and get a piece of those different projects, or choose which one he thinks is more worthy? Or does he want to make the remake he's talked about before with full creative control?

Should be interesting.

Also, I just saw a photo of him recently, and he looks extremely unwell. Apparently he's had health issues for a long time, and then he got toxic shock syndrome from the dentist and ended up in a coma. I wonder of he's healthy enough to make a film at the stage.
