We can wish as much as we want, it is pretty unlikely that he will ever direct a film again, for several reasons as he often stated himself:
- he has barely time to finish all the stuff he is writing or painting at the same tiem
- he will hardly find the right producer who gives him enough cash and full artistic freedom
- he has had too many fights with big bosses in the film industry (which is related to the second reason)
I had the luck to meet Clive after the German premiere of Hellraiser in Berlin, we had a nice 30 minute chat and I could feel his anger about the censored scenes the German version had and I can only imagine how furious he was after Nightbreed had been butchered by the studio - still, he tried one more time and managed a quite decent film with Lords of Illusion, but he kinda stated after that, that he does not see a way to fairly transfer his words into film...
