Hellraiser is getting its 21st century just do...soon

Writer/director Clive Barker has announced that not only does he plan to write the script, he’s also gotten the Weinsteins to agree to bring back Doug Bradley as villain Pinhead. Get all the details on this new iteration after the jump.

Barker posted the news on Facebook (via LAT). “A few weeks ago I had a very productive meeting with Bob Weinstein of Dimension Pictures, in the course of which I pitched a remake of the first HELLRAISER film,” he revealed. “Today I have officially been invited to write the script based upon that pitch.”

According to Barker, he wants the new version to have a “fresh intensity” and be “even darker and richer” than the original. “What can I tell you about it?” he wrote. “Well, it will not be a film awash with CGI. I remain as passionate about the power of practical make-up effects as I was when I wrote and directed the first HELLRAISER.”


While Bradley isn’t signed just yet, Barker and the Weinsteins seem determined to get him on board. “Of course the best make-up in the world loses force if not inhabited by a first-rate actor,” said Barker. “I told the Dimension team that in my opinion there could never be a Pinhead without Doug Bradley,and much to my delight Bob Weinstein agreed.”

Thank you!! The mere fact that he's doing it again and bringing back Doug Bradley shows it will be a worthy remake.

I know pinhead is iconic and Hellraiser is one of my favorite horror movies, but... i hope they come up with a different take on it and not just a straight remake. doug bradley is pinhead but they need to do an updated design or something as well. dont know how they are gonna go darker than the original though
