My partner and I did an uncredited polish on the script.

It's being rushed into production becasue TWC will lose the rights to remake/reboot (where all the money is) if they don't make a HALLRAISER film immediately.

uncredited... but still well paid I hope?

...and if they rush into it? bad movie

I'd be interested to see it done today. I also thought the 1st and 2nd one were great.
I haven't seen all of them, I think I stopped watching after Bloodline, or whatever the one in space was called.

Paid, yes. Well paid? That's a rarity.

As for the good or bad nature of it. It's less than 1/2 Million dollar budget, but the director is talented. We'll see how it all shakes out.

That kind of scares me that they would only give it that much. I know that companies don't have faith in horror movies, but I'd figure the budget would be a little bigger than that.

Any word on who they have directing it now? I know that the last couple people dropped from the project.

So Doug Bradley won't be in it, and I heard that means that Pinhead won't be in it, but instead there will be another Cenobite that idolizes Pinhead so much he dresses just like him. Please tell me this isn't true. Even if it is...

Pinhead is in it.

Where did you get that info? IMDB only lists "Pseudo Pinhead", no Doug Bradley, I've seen a redesign for a Pinhead-ish character because Pinhead is reportedly not in it, I'm so confused!

Perhaps he got the info here:

http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php...5&postcount=12

Right, but its possible he is referring to Pseudo Pinhead as Pinhead, and to me those two seem like different entities. Its also possible A) they decided to go with another script, or B) that they decided to go with the script he polished, and all the info on IMDB and other sources that say no Pinhead is based on a script they decided not to go with. There are definitely discrepancies and I'm trying to figure out whats really going on.

Collider have picked up confirmation that Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer will be the force behind Dimension's Hellraiser remake.

It'll be the next project for the 3D-friendly duo who brought us the My Bloody Valentine redo and the upcoming Drive Angry. They also worked on the abandoned (for the time being) Halloween 3D for the Weinsteins.

Roommate director Christian E Christiansen had been in the running for the gig, but ultimately lost out to the Drive Angry team, as did Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, who brought us the last four Saw films and The Collector.

Collider do confirm, however, that drafts of the script so far have all focused on "young adults encountering Pinhead", some with a Hellboy-ish fantasy vibe, and some more along Elm Street lines. Whether that will remain the case under the new creative team remains to be seen. The word is that Dimension is still keen on the "young adult spin", and given her presence in Drive Angry, the rumour of Amber Heard's casting may yet prove true.

More on this as it comes.

Hellraiser Remake
 

So I just found out today that they are remaking the original Hellraiser. WHAT THE HELL:mad:! The original is perfect as is and them touching it is unneeded. I never understood why the industry remakes all ready GREAT horror films. If any thing they should remake the crappy ones that had good Ideas but needed better write/directors/budgets. Don't get me wrong I have like in the past a few remakes such as the hills have eyes, and Texas chainsaw massacre. All though I never saw the original so that is probably why I liked them. Now if it was jaws that I would go for just because of the new technology out there. Though I would want a new story line that dose not relate to the original. The horror industry really needs to start producing better horror. The last movie that I was obsessed with was the Hamilton. the last movie that kept me from sleeping was the sixth sense and the ring so they need to produce better one because I'm pretty easy to scare. What dose every one else think!?:confused:

So it's okay to remake Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, and Jaws - but not Hellraiser. I don't get it.:confused:

Yup...they're late! Hellraiser should have been remade 5 years ago!:D

Get informed. See the original versions. They've done worse things to better movies. And check out the HDC top lists if you're looking for something scary and interesting. If they do remake Hellraiser, the only thing I could see them doing for it would be to make it more like the novella it was based on. Hellraiser is itself an adaptation. To adapt again from the same source material is not unheard of. Look at Christopher Nolan's Batman movies for example. It was done so that a new slant could be taken on the source material. Jaws also originated from a book. If you have something new to say about Peter Benchley's novel, it might be worth remaking Jaws. If you want a CGI shark that probably won't even look as cool as the original shark, there's no reason to bother.

I've decided out of spite that when a remake comes out I will buy the original on dvd for all my friends. If loads of people do this-I believe we will be sending them the right message-in addition if the original is available for free online I will post its link to anyone considering watching the remake-"you want to watch a remake of hellraiser?-save your money and watch the original for free here-etc etc"

Hey I'm just stating my opinion. I think there are other movies that could benefit from remakes. But like I said I'm just stating my opinion. And I don't particularly like movies before the 80's except for a couple of 70's. I don't know why. I know there is a lot of good ones out there. My attention span is short so With some movies I have a hard time making it to the good parts. And jaws I wouldn't want CGI. I would want mechanical like the original but with some more shark footage and the technology now I think would benefit more in the making.

i think a remake might be good. i have only watched 1 to 4, i would lke to watch the rest of them. i heard inferno is suposed to be good but not shure what the rest would are like. i like the original alot so i can see why alot of people would be against it, but a revamp of it could work i think.

I agree I wouldn't mind a complete remake that went back to the original novella, but I really wouldn't want to see a remake of the film itself. I remember a while back someone remade psycho scene for scene. I never saw it, why bother when I'd already seen Hitchcocks. But taken from a new angle it could be really cool. Some of the later Hellraiser films really started to suck. Maybe they could do for Hellraiser what the remakes did for Batman. (After Tim Burton left it was all downhill for the original series, the new Batman's jumpstarted the whole thing again.)

Personally the Hellraiser Series is still on of my Favorites..Although I thought Hellworld Sucked.In my opinion by far the worst of the series.
I wouldnt mind watching a re-make of the original.:)

Once anything that wasn't originally based in space goes there, I give up on the franchise. It is just a terrible idea.

Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2 were both very good. Hellraiser 3 sucked because they just gave up and made it another stupid slasher movie. I believe it was the 4th one that was in space, that was pretty dire. I've not seen any since then.

I think a remake would be a bad idea. I can see the demon who chases Kirsty through Hell (The Engineer?) and the hobo-dragon being bad CGI which would be a mistake. I just think that the original was pretty much perfect for its day and the gory/splattery parts will seem overdone for gross-out value with modern special effects.

Funnily I just watched Hellraiser:Inferno-it had very little to do with Hellraiser at all basically it was a different film with pinhead thrown in to cash in. Still gotta watch 6-8 though.

did you like inferno ?

i still want to watch it, i heard alot of good things about it.

I need to see a trailer or something to judge wether or not it's gonna be good I do agree with another person it should be a sequel or prequel rather than a remake buuuuttt.....we'll see

Goodness its difficult to recommend it-having just watched watched part 6-Hellseeker which at least had Kirsty (ashley laurence) in it. They are very similar-there's just too much "unreality" in them that when their climaxes are revealed you just don't care-they are very hard to watch-not engrossing at all. I have a gut feeling that you wouldnt like either of them. Oh and I just watched part 7-Deader and that was much much better so I'd actually recommend that instead-I just need to see part 8-Hellworld to complete the set.

Yeah I agree about Hellraiser Deaders..I thought It was a good Movie.:).Shame I cant say the same about Inferno or Hellworld.

I think they should have stopped after Hellraiser 2. In 3, Pinhead's priorities were skewed. If the whole world is Hell, Cenobites become moot. The point of Hellbound Heart and Hellraiser is that somebody sought out the ultimate experience and they got it and paid dearly for it. Pinhead has no reason to conquer the world. Bloodline created a cosmology and history that didn't entirely need to be there. Inferno is cool for adding noir elements into the equation, but it didn't need to be a Hellraiser movie. I would have preferred new, fresh demons. Hellseeker also didn't need to be a Hellraiser film. Deader I will admit I haven't seen. Hellworld was confusing, stupid and patronizing. It feels like Hellraiser was cut and pasted onto it. Revelations has made Clive Barker really angry. If you like Barker and you like Hellraiser, don't contribute money to making it an even worse franchise. Just say no. Shut the box before more crap comes out of it.

You should watch Deaders it was the reward for fans who persevered with Inferno and Hellseeker but I agree that the first two were the best. Having just seen the awful Hellworld I don't think I can take anymore.

It looks like Hellraiser is headed for the seventh circle of development hell.

The project has already been through more directors than Pinhead’s got through souls, and now the latest additions – Drive Angry duo Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier – have dropped out.

We’re not sure why they left, but it might have something to do with the fact the production company behind the remake – those lovely Weinsteins – want it to be a PG-13.

Which probably means slightly less skin-flaying than in the original. Rendering it just a little bit pointless.

Still, we're sure this isn't the last we'll hear from the project. After all, the atrocious Hellraiser: Revelations was made so the brothers could hang on to the remake rights.

Is it just us, or does this feel a little bit like Pinhead's become sentient and is ushering in a new Hell on earth via the medium of Hellraiser sequels?

Hellraiser was a pretty solid horror movie. Can't really see the need for a remake. But I want to see the final result with my own eyes before I complain about the new version. I'll at least give it a chance.

PG-13 Hellraiser remake??! NO!
 

Yup, a Hellraiser remake might be in the works, maybe, with Clive Barker writing and Doug Bradley back as Pinhead. ...

..

..OK that PG-13 thing might have been an exaggeration on my part. Just a little something to make sure you are awake. Look at it this way, I made the news extra good for you when you realized there was no way this Hellraiser is going to be PG-13 because you went from extreme disappointment to extreme delight instead of just a baseline to regular delight. You can't fully appreciate the peak of the mountains until you have been to the bottom of the valley.

Oh crap, looks like this is old news!

So is this movie going to happen or not?!?!?!

Clive Barker wrote the Hellbound Heart. He adapted that into the original Hellraiser. He directed the original Hellraiser so keenly because he knew how it was meant to happen. It was his baby and every sequel that followed just bastardized the mythos more and more. Unless Clive Barker directs this new one then it most likely wont turn out right. Only on rare occasions in the past have Clive Barker stories transitioned to cinema properly. Unfortunately I have found that a film is only as good as its director. On rare occasions that rule is broken, but not often enough for me to have hope for this film.

I find the original movie to be overrated.

LOVE the Cenobites but hate pretty much everything else.

The remake is on the back burner as Barker works on the script for Zombies vs. Gladiators.

Instead of a remake, I would rather see it as a story that is tied into the original. I'm not going to bitch about remakes because it is what it is, I just wish writers would be more creative and focus more on tying into originals. Just think of the fantastic movies that could be created this way.

If this is definitely PG-13, then I am going to skip it. It had gore in the original, and if they take it out, then it ruins the whole concept of this movie. I will not watch a washed down from the original horror movie. This is getting stupid with PG-13 horror taking over.

Could be interesting.
Does anyone knows what Devil's Island is?

I had to look up Devil's Island when I read that news story a few days ago. I look forward to the remake. I just watched almost all of the Hellraiser movies last month. I passed on Part 9. At least for now. I'll post mini reviews soon in the watched area.

As long as Doug Bradley plays Pinhead, I will totally watch another hellraiser. As other's have already noted, I fear for its quality. I am however in support of a remake for hellraiser since I feel a couple scenes were weak and some plot points brought up later on in the series could have been hinted or suggested earlier in the series. There seemed very loosey goosey and awkward ways/times for things to be elaborated. I loved hellraiser series, especially the original quartet of cenobites so getting to rewatch them again would be such a sight.
