Masonberg PLAGUES Sony Screen Gems

I got this in the email box today and I thought why not spread it out for all you horror fans. It seems that writer/director Hal Masonberg is trying to pressure Sony's Screen Gems to let him release a  version of THE PLAGUE as he originally intended it. A few years back after he had shot most of the movie and had the cut ready to go, Screen Gems took it from under him and had a new producing crew come in, re-edit it, and slap on a CLIVE BARKER: THE PLAGUE title even though it's been reported that Clive Barker had nothing to do with it nor is it an adapted work from his library of fiction.

Here's the backstory of the situation as told by the original director Hal Masonberg:

This kind of thing seems to happen a lot inside Hollywood and sometimes, it could have been handled better for all the parties involved. I say more power to Hal for trying to get his version released.
