Clive Barker posted something on his Twitter account while discussing an Arabat adaption, and possibly and indirectly hints that he will be returning to the directors chair in the near future.
"Christopher Carrion comes to life, in a filmed trailer for ABARAT III,the director of the three minute taste of the "Abarat" is my great friend Mark Miller. Special effects by Brandon Mahlberg. Make-up and effects by the talented Stephen Imhoff, and Chris Alex., who will be working on my next movie."
This makes one wonder if it was just a random choice of words that mean nothing, or if he will return to directing, in which case, what could his next movie be.
Personally I'd love to see an adaption of The Thief of Always, or his newer book Mister B. Gone.
