Raven Banner Entertainment has optioned Clive Barker’s short story “Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament,” which originally appeared in Barker’s anthology novel “The Books of Blood.”
“Jacqueline Ess tells the story of a beautiful woman with the ability to horrifically change people’s body shapes simply with her mind. Her ability gives her the power to grant men the ultimate sexual experience, albeit one that always proves fatal. It’s a story of sex, power, and the extremes that await us at the limits of desire.”
Raven Banner will produce with Barker’s Seraphim Films on board to Executive Produce. The deal was negotiated by Raven Banner partners Michael Paszt, James Fler and Andrew Hunt, with Noor Ahmed of Reder & Feig LLP negotiating on behalf of Seraphim.
The film is currently being scripted, and is slated to go into production fall 2014.
