PROJECT DETAILS
- Co-writer Todd Farmer revealed in a recent interview that he doesn't believe he and Patrick Lussier are on board the project anymore, as the duo apparently wrote several versions of the script and the studio never saw eye-to-eye with them creatively. (9/7/11)
- Co-writer Todd Farmer had this to say about approaching the script: "We didn’t get on board for Hellraiser to remake Clive’s movie. That movie is so unique and tells such a personal story so we don’t really see the need to remake it. Our plans are to take the mythology and set it in a modernized world that makes sense in context with the original. It’s not a remake and it’s not a reboot - it’s something else entirely. But we are definitely planning for our Hellraiser to be very R-rated so fans shouldn’t be worried there."
- Director/co-writer Patrick Lussier detailed how he and co-writer Todd Farmer are pulling inspiration from the world that Clive created, saying "in that original film he opened so many interesting doorways and opportunities that that's what we want to explore-- always keeping in mind what he had done and how he did it and just working within that world."
- Patrick Lussier was quoted the following on what to expect from the scope of the film: "the idea was that if we're going to do it, let's be epic. There's a part of this world that we're never allowed to see because there's never been the resources to show it, so let's show it."
- Filming was originally hoped to begin sometime in the Spring of '08, with an early January '09 release.
- The duo behind the My Bloody Valentine remake and Drive Angry, Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer, return to develop this project.
- It was rumored that producers were possibly aiming for a PG-13 rating, but this was proven false.
- This flick will reportedly be in 3D.
- Originally set to have a September 5th '08 theatrical release.
- It's said that this film will mix elements from both Clive Barker's "The Hellbound Heart" novella and the original 1987 movie.
- Fully titled Clive Barker Presents: Hellraiser.
- When writer/director Pascal Laugier was still attached to the project, he described the script as more of a "re-boot" than "remake", saying how most of the material is taken from the original Clive Barker novella, "The Hellbound Heart."
- Pascal Laugier (Martyrs) was once attached to direct before he left the project.
- Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (Inside) were once attached to direct before being replaced by Pascal Laugier (Martyrs).
- Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (Feast, Saw IV) wrote the previous draft.
- French filmmakers Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (Inside) wrote the first script, which was based on a treatment by Clive Barker, but the studio declined it.
- It's unknown whether Doug Bradley will return as Pinhead.
- The Pinhead in this film will be different from the one we've grown to love.
- Clive said that he plans to have this to be both the beginning and end of Pinhead.
- This film will have an obviously bigger budget, with hopes to do things that the original could never do.
- The Weinstein Company is behind this.
- Clive will only serve as producer, as he was detailed saying that he'd feel too weird to direct a remake of his own movie.
- This is a remake of the classic 1987 Clive Barker film.

THIS IS GUNA SUCK
What he said. The cover looks atrocious. Please tell me that is not what Pinhead is going to look like?
some remakes usually suck. you never know about this
I feel that if Clive is involved that he wont let it turn into a travesty. I am hoping for a heavy R rating for this one.
This is an abomination. Hellraiser/Pinhead cannot be touched whatsoever. The effects were amazing because of the practical use of concrete items (not cheap digital effects), lighting, atmosphere, and good acting. Without Bradley (who I have met), there is no way Pinhead can be Pinhead. Bradley is and always will be Pinhead, and no one can fill his shoes. Not only that, the fucking makeup for this movie (for Pinhead especially) will be retarded.
I watched the original in theater when i was a kid, It scared the shit out of me, that being said, The Remake will suck because all the other remakes sucked balls, Hollywood should remake the movies that sucked way back when so all our faves will be saved, and for the two guys who anything to do with My Bloody Valentine and Drive Angry shouldn't be anywhere near this Horror Classic.
Oh great anonother Lussier/farmer paring to fuck up a mother franchise! I'm so sick of these pricks I could fart!
If it's not broke we don't need a damn remake fav. show of all time !!!
(

This is gonna be great once its finished. I hope Pinhead and the cenobites look cool and I really hope there is little to no CG used.
How many movies can Patrick Lussier and Ted Farmer be working on... this one, "Halloween 3D", and "I Saw What You Did".. Shits whack.
Lol *Todd Farmer!

HELL YEAH "I'LL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART" I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT! AMA GO SEE IT FOR SURE! THANK U VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING A HORROR ICON BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PINHEAD TEAR PEOPLE APART WITH HIS HOOKS!
Isn't this gonna be produced by Dimension films too 'r what??
♥
I like Patrick Lussier and I know he can make a good remake
(ex. My Bloody Valentine) so I hope he keeps up the good work.
This will be interesting i still think the original was amazing and i've seen some pics of their new pinhead that look pretty upgraded.
te fist one was amazing i jest got hell wrold that was shit i hope some thing happins and thay dont do this
"We'll tear your soul apart!"
Well at this rate this is gonna end up happening to this movie
Ok is this officially dead since theyre doing that other one thats straight to dvd and doesnt even have Pinhead in it? because that would be such a waste. i would love to see a hellraiser film that took more from the Hellbound Heart
Pinhead's my homie
just to confirm doug will not be in this remake as pin head he may have a small apperance but will not be pin head but i do believe he is gonna be pin head in the hell raiser i forget what its called but its the newest of the 14 hellraisers they got i stopped payin attention after blood line the story lines got worse
im worried about the remake of this film i love the shit out of 2 horror movie icons and thats pin head and leatherface they did an amazing job with the remake to texas chain saw and the prequal was great ... halloween also good but friday the 13th was shit and nightmare on elm street was even bigger shit so i prey that when they remake pin head they keep it with out all the fake special effects blood and digital shit out i want it grimy do it right i quess is all im asking >)
If Bradley isnt Pinhead in this then its like A Nightmare on Elm Street when Englund didn't come back and they got a new Freddy.
I like Pinhad so I hope thet don't change him to much
Hellraiser can't be touched.
Doug Bradley coming back in the remake is unlikely the guy is too old play the Pin Head role but the guy that is able fill is shoes be kinda silly but make it interesting see in way George Clooney or Christian Bale crazy in way but way be good fit Colin Farrell in way
See I made a dumb comment like this "except with better grammer
" about Robert Englund being to old to act "which I now take back." Doug Bradley is not to old to be Pinhead and should be him! If Betty White is still acting then so can Englund and Bradley.
Although i was not over keen on this film it was diferent.
This film was a Clive Barker masterpeice and i cannot see a remake coming anywhere neer it.........
i don't know what they can improve on. the movie stuck close to the book, since Clive also directed the movie. if anything it should stick with the original title, "The Hellbound Heart" much more creepier than "Hellraiser". plus that's what the story was about anyway, a woman's struggle to bring back her affair lover from his agonizing hell by process of bring home helpless victims for him to feed upon. also, Pinhead wasn't a big part of the book so lets keep it that way. its not his story, and he's not the "bad guy". one thing they should keep from the book that wasn't in the 1st movie was when Frank meets the Cenobites for the first time and the female cenobite appears on a thrown of skulls with her legs spread open, pretty creepy! Pleasure in pain! but i don't know, i'm sure i'll end up checking it out anyway.
"No tears, for its a good waste of torture"- Pinhead
