It's basically a collection of anecdotes from the drinking lives of four amazing actors. The anecdotes pretty much follow one basic form: Person X got really drunk, did something stupid, doesn't remember it, doesn't regret it. There is a slight variation where Person X remembers it and regrets it, but this variation doesn't occur often. It's slightly different for each man - with Richard Harris and Oliver Reed there is a fight of some kind, with Richard Burton there is also Elizabeth Taylor (who drank as much or more than he did), and with Peter O'Toole there is always a bon mot. In the end the endless repetition of dumb activities reads like a great advertisement for a 12-step program - the pursuit of fun is all so desperate and boring and soulkilling. I'm a bit undecided as to whether or not this reaction is by design or not - the author is so absent and deadpan it's difficult to know what he might think. Tales of wretched excess: these actors spent most of their days drunk as skunks getting into all kinds of mischief--much of which they couldn't remember. But they all made indelible marks during the 50's, 60's, and 70's when they were in their heyday. A lot of what went on with these guys (Richard Burton, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris and lone survivor, Peter O'Toole)off stage caused bruises on my chin from my jaw dropping so often (and I felt a bit woozy from all the vicarious boozing)--but after a while, the legacy of their excesses and their attempts to stay on various wagons was wrenching; doctors operating on Richard Burton, towards the end of his life, discovered that his spinal column was coated with crystalized alcohol; marriages were shattered; careers evaporated. In the end, all of them are and will be remembered fondly for the brief shining moments of their acting lives--and that they had a hell of a time.

Hellraisers: The Life and Inebriated Times of Burton, Harris

Hellraisers is the story of drunken binges of near biblical proportions, parties and orgies, broken marriages, riots, and wanton sexual conquests. Indeed, acts so outrageous that if you or I had perpetrated them we could have ended up in jail. Their mercurial acting talent and love from the press and the public allowed them to get away with the kind of behaviour that today's film stars could scarcely dream of. They were truly the last of a breed, the last of the movie hellraisers. a b Throne, Will (April 27, 2020). " 'Hellraiser' Series in Development at HBO". The Hollywood Reporter .

Heavy on the Manichean good v evil and mind-body dualism, Stevenson’s famous tale from 1886 is a metaphor for addiction, as the drugs Jekyll uses to get straight stop working, and the devilish Id, Hyde, starts to take over. As with Dorian Gray, four years later, exactly what he gets up to in his mysterious adventures in Soho and the East End is, apart from violence, not detailed.

In April 2020, a television series adaptation of the franchise was announced to be in development. Mark Verheiden and Michael Dougherty will serve as the main writers, while David Gordon Green will serve as director on several of the episodes. The series will serve as "an elevated continuation and expansion" of the film series. Verheiden, Dougherty, and Green will serve as executive producers, alongside Danny McBride, Jody Hill, Brandon James, and Roy Lee. The project will be a joint-venture production between HBO, Rough House Pictures and Vertigo Entertainment. [3] Later in October, Clive Barker joined the series as an executive producer. [33] Prose works [ edit ] Follow-up works by Clive Barker [ edit ]If you’ve ever wondered what sort of drunk nonsense the likes of Burton, Harris, O’Toole and Reed got up to in their heyday then you could do worse than read Hellraisers. On the surface it’s a roughly chronological group biography, but really it’s an anthology of anecdotes. Some of them had me wincing in disbelief, and a few are funny. It’s bracing and very readable. Super 3D Noah's Ark originated as a Hellraiser license for the Nintendo Entertainment System. During the course of its development, the game's abandoned the Hellraiser license and converted it into a simplified game based on the Bible. [58] Darren Rea (17 March 2009).

But if that was the case and doctors told me I had to stop I'd like to think that I would be brave enough to drink myself into the grave."--Oliver Reed In my own book several writers raised hell while they were undergraduates at the Hypocrites Club in Oxford, 1921-24. And then put away childish things and settled down to a life of sobriety. Up to a point. Published in 1824, this is a ferocious, mordantly funny onslaught on extremist Scots Presbyterianism. The sanctimonious Robert Wringhim’s clergyman stepfather is tipped off by the Almighty that the lad is predestined to be one of the Elect. Because the “justified” must by definition have led lives unblemished by sin, then by Calvinist logic Robert, no matter what he does, cannot commit a sin. Now accompanied by a mysterious companion, who spurs him on, he decides to put this happy facility to use – resulting in gargantuan feats of debauchery, alongside the “cutting off” of religious rivals.
