Clive Barker Still Wants To Make His Transgender Take On The Mummy
Batman: Year One, and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s take on
Dune. But for the most part, the best we can do is read the scripts, watch interviews, and imagine what they might have been like.
Now, we have another to add to the pile, as
Hellraiser creator Clive Barker has revealed a very interesting take on
The Mummy that seems to have been too much for late 80s studio executives. In an interview on the
Post Mortem with Mick Garris podcast, Garris and Barker discussed the script they worked on together several decades ago.
7 Times Comic Book Movies Had Crossovers Before Marvel
Think the MCU changed everything? Think again. May 4, 2021 Updated: May 4th, 2021
It s a great time to be a superhero fan. That s what everyone s saying, at least, and, while it s a schmaltzy statement, it s hard not to agree - fans of capes and spandex are spoilt for choice, with six major cinematic releases this year and more TV shows than it s physically possible to watch.

Here are just a handful of the best products shown to the Dragons, along with what happened next.

There’s no superhero as iconic as Superman – the blue-eyed boy scout, the alien immigrant born on Krypton and raised in good ol’ Kansas by a loving couple, raised to be Earth’s protector in the city of Metropolis. He’s one of the great modern American myths, a hero who’s (almost) always portrayed as a bastion of truth and justice – even in his alter-ego day job as Daily Planet journalist Clark Kent.
And while Superman has endured for over 80 years on the page – first appearing in Action Comics #1 in June 1938 – he’s also been a screen mainstay in TV and movies, from ‘40s screen serials to Richard Donner’s 1978 blockbuster which promised: ‘You’ll believe a man can fly.’ Even now, there’s Henry Cavill donning the cape in the DCEU, Tyler Hoechlin portraying the latest small-screen iteration in Arrowverse series
