During B-D’s recent interview with John Carpenter regarding his upcoming psychological horror film The Ward (which follows a ten-year dry spell for the director in the feature-length sphere), we got the horror legend to speak VERY briefly about a few different directing projects he has in the works, including the previously-announced adaptation of the comic book “Darkchylde”.
“I’m working on several interesting things. I’m working on a movie version of a comic book called ‘Darkchylde’, which I’m excited about. There’s a little Gothic Western I may do. There’s a high-gloss psychological thriller I may do,” said Carpenter, before adding: “But right now, I’m concentrating all my energies on the NBA playoffs.”
The one that sounds most up my alley is the gothic Western, an intriguing prospect given how vocal Carpenter has been in the past regarding his love of classic Westerns, not to mention how much those films (particularly the works of masters Howard Hawks and John Ford) have influenced his own style. Stay posted to B-D for updates on these projects as they come in.
