Five years ago I decided to try my hand at writing and illustrating a graphic novel. On September 22 TECH comes out thanks to the great people at
@EnPocalypsePub
with a foreword by the great

To celebrate
@StephenKing
’s birthday, I recommend this: the best book on writing that I have encountered. Also a surprisingly emotional and compelling read.
A reminder GRAVEYARD RATS is available in glorious BLACK & WHITE in the ‘Trailers & More’ section of the Netflix Cabinet of Curiosities menu. I like the color version but this is the way I intended it to be viewed. Colin Hoult’s cinematography is gorgeous.
Today
@RealGDT
’s masterful and anarchic PINOCCHIO arrives on
@netflix
. Unlike all previous adaptations, this is the first time Pinocchio is happy to be himself rather chase a dream of conformity and become a ‘real boy’. Instead he changes those around him.
It is my great pleasure to announce that I am the executive producer of the Japanese remake of CUBE with an astonishingly talented cast and director, Yasuhiko Shimizu.
I have read the first two episodes.

’s Crystal Lake was well on its way to becoming another Hannibal-level reinvention that was simultaneously beautiful, sad, poetic, funny and horrifying. I mourn its passing.
My thanks to everyone who has expressed support for The Peripheral after its cancelation. It was a joy to be a part of. I was surrounded by extraordinary artists throughout, beginning with
@GreatDismal
, whose book started it all. Our show lives on in some other lucky stub.
Since Splice has been trending on
@netflix
and twitter, a reminder that you can find all the scripts, storyboards, design and more in my digital archive:
My experience with Midjourney AI made me realize that we are on the cusp of something extraordinary but also potentially dangerous. And almost certainly we are not ready for it.
I can now share my contribution to the gorgeous HANNIBAL ART BOOK from
@PrintedinBlood
. Having directed six episodes of
@BryanFuller
‘s brilliant show, it was lovely to sit down with the old cannibal again.
My digital archive has just gone live. You can find complete scripts, storyboards, concept art and more information than you could ever possibly want for

forever enshrined landmarks of my youth (some of which no longer exist) in his uniquely subversive comic/musical style. Trust a Brit to make the best film about a Canadian city.
Happy ‘23! I’ve updated my digital archive to include content from most of my produced and unproduced films and TV work. Scripts, storyboards, concept art, BTS stills, pretty much everything is here:
With the exception of Stanley Kubrick is there a modern mainstream filmmaker who has a more eclectic, audacious and beautifully executed filmography than Alan Parker?
I am thrilled and honored to have my film IN THE TALL GRASS invited to open the 52nd Sitges Film Festival, one of my favorite film festivals on the planet. Moltes gràcies
@sitgesfestival
!
Given the potential for an implosion on this platform this seems like an opportune moment to express my thanks and appreciation for all the kind, creative and generous interactions I have had with all of you, especially over the last month. Dren sends her love.

@DAVID_A_SLADE
’s DARK HARVEST. It’s a powerful metaphor for how the younger generation is sacrificed by their parents to maintain the status quo. And features the best designed and executed creature in recent memory. Good Halloween viewing.
