Not that I necessarily have anything against PG-13 horror movies. That really means doing it as a hard R, none of this PG-13. I want to make sure that if we do it, or rather when we do it, we do it justice. I still get a lot letters about that story. Particularly useful for The Midnight Meat Train, because the subject matter is so intense. That will give us a certain latitude in the making of them, which I think is useful. When I say independent, I mean they won't go through a major studio most likely. The same with an extraordinary draft of The Midnight Meat Train, which we have just turned in. "Dread we have a draft, and again I hope that's a movie we can get going next year. See our exclusive production photo, more production photos and the movie synopsis here on our Midnight Meat Train news page The DVD / Blu-ray was released in the US on 17 February 2009 and includes two and a half minutes of additional footage as well as three featurettes - see the news page here. UK fans saw the movie screened at the Film4 Frightfest on 23 August and again at the GoreZone Weekend of Horror on 18 October, ahead of the UK release date of 31 October (putting it up against Quantum Of Solace). The next opportunity to catch the Train was at midnight on Friday 25 July at the Gaslamp Stadium in San Diego as part of ComicCon - a screening that sold out wiithin 24 hours of tickets being made available - and at which Clive again encouraged fans to register their disapproval at Lionsgate's handling of the movie (see footage here).Further screenings have been arranged and FearNet are running the movie as video on demand online. The world première of Midnight Meat Train was at the Fantasia film festival in Montreal at midnight on 19 July 2008.
Changes in personnel at Lionsgate saw the movie finally released on 1 August 2008 but in just a contractual 100 screens - and at dollar theatres at that.
Jeff Buhler adapted the story and filming, in New York and Montreal, was originally scheduled to begin on the 17th October 2005.Ī revised start date of the summer of 2006 was then disrupted, with Ryuhei Kitamura finally taking the reins from Patrick Tatopoulos as director.įurther problems became apparent once the movie was made as Lionsgate tried to change the title and pushed the release date back.
