    http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=2994

    wow....never been a big Hellraiser fan to be honest but I for some reason never thought they'd touch this one. I can't see anyone else being Pinhead though.

    Totally unnecessary, but it could be interesting with Clive writing and the right director.

    Lets take a look back in time.

    In the late 90s, some people complained the horror genre was ruined by Scream and its parade of copycats afterwards that lasted up until probably 2000-01.

    Yet here we are now well in the mid section of this decade and this is what we have. A trend involving Remakes/Restarts and Prequels. Most of which are shadows of their original counterparts. So I guess the question is, which would you rather have because originality died long ago, least on the mainstream circuit folks.

    Hit movies like Scream in the 90s that spawned alot of mediocre films afterwards much like Halloween, Friday and Nightmare which were jewels of the 80s mixed in with alot of copycats in the middle?

    or...

    The step by step Remaking, Reimagining of every major horror franchise known to date?

    Gotta pick a poison somewhere along the line.

    god I hated the "scream" craze that his in the 90s. I mean I loved Scream itself and I dug Urban Legend too but MAN there was some crap back then. I do miss a good slasher though. But bring back the undead killers damn it.

    Or just watch the couple horror movies that come out once a year that may have a similar theme but atleast tries to be something beyond the Hollywood trend.

    There are more options than teen-slashers and remakes.

    I'm not surprised by this news at all.Which is probably why i'm not that upset about it.At least barker is writing the movie.I kind of would like to see what kinda effects and creatures barker could fit in the hellraiser story with todays make up artists and special effects guys though.

    When I first read the title of this post, I almost died inside. But even though I really love the original Hellraiser and think it shouldn't be touched, I'm actually kinda excited about this because Clive Barker is writing it. I mean, he's the creator, so he obviously knows what he's doing. This definitely has a chance of being a good thing. I just hope he keeps it slow, dark and atmospheric like the original, instead of throwing in a bunch of special effects and having pinhead popping up every two seconds just to keep the modern audiences happy

    You all know my stance on remakes...they are the shit on the bottom of my shoe and on any other account I'd be extremely pissed that Hollywood is thinking about touching my favorite horror movie, but for the simple fact that Clive Barker, one of the most fantastic writers of our time and creator of the original is on board to write this and be part of the production team, I'm willing to give this a shot. But Doug Bradley IS Pinhead.

    This is an atrocity!!! But like others have said, with Barker writing it may turn out good. But a different pinhead might ruin it for me.

    I am not one to hate on every remake to ever come out. But I gotta say I'm against this one, number 1 Doug Bradley is pinhead, noone else. 2. Yeah Clive Barker is the writer but how many great scripts have been turned into shitty movies??? A lot.

    Just pointing out whats going on.

    If anything, two outta of the 3 are much more prevelant than the other and both have weakened the genre considerably. Some people might have a hard time believing that as they place most of the blame on Scream for anythings that happened with the genre over the last 10 years which is unfair at best.

    Far as im concerned, both share equal blame at this point.

    I think Nightmare on Elm Street is the only horror film with an iconic character that's left to remake isn't it?

    Oh well. Hopefully with a remake of Hellraiser we'll get a good DVD of the original. And I hope Clive DOESN'T call Pinhead Pinhead. I hate that name. He isn't even called that in the original. He's called "Lead Cenobite" in the credits and his name isn't referenced in the film. "Pinhead" too silly for a serious hardcore horror film. "Oh he's got pins in his head. I get it. Pinhead. Hahahaha." This is what happens when you let fans contribute. You get stupid stuff.

    I would be pissed if they remade this. This was my all time favorite movie growing up and it still is. No one else can be Pinhead, but Doug Bradley. They should just make a better sequel.
