Barker’s Hellraiser is finally getting a remake, and fans should be happy since
not only is Barker devolpoing the movie himself but that actor Doug Bradley
will be returning as Pinhead.
The
official announcement was made via Barker’s Facebook page.
HOT
FROM HELL! My friends,I have some news which may be of interest to you. 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. The idea of my coming back to the original film and telling the story
with a fresh intensity-honoring the structure and the designs from the first
incarnation but hopefully creating an even darker and richer film-was
attractive to Dimension. Today I have officially been invited to write the
script based upon that pitch.
What
can I tell you about it?
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. Of course the best make-up in the world loses force if not
inhabited by a first-rate actor. 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. So once the papers are signed, I will open a Lemarchand
Configuration, dip my quill in its contents and start writing. I promise that
there will be nowhere on the Internet where the news of my progress will be
more reliable than here ,because the only author of these reports will be Your
Infernal Corespondent ,me.
My
very best wishes to you all,my friends. Clive.
