PROJECT DETAILS
- Filming was originally hoped to begin sometime in the Spring of '08, with an early January '09 release.
- 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.

Part of me has always wanted to see a remake of this, easily one of the greatest horror movies of all time... But, mostly, I just don't see the point! Doug Bradley not playing Pinhead is as blasphemous as Robert Englund not playing Freddy Krueger! Some movies cannot be remade (many more just shouldn't be), but this is one movie I'm gonna be critical as hell towards when I see it, so it had better live up to the origional, but I doubt it will.
P.S. What the hell is everything coming out in 3D for?!?! It didn't save My Bloody Valentine, it didn't save Final Destination and I honestly can't think of a single movie that has been better for being in 3D! Seriously, just because they're remaking every movie from the 80's, doesn't mean we have to copy the 80s style (Think Jaws 3D, Friday the 13th 3D etc). Film makers should be focussing more on the story of the movie instead of relying on outdated gimmicks, then maybe we wouldn't have so many pathedic attempts at remaking (and ultimately butchering) classic movies!
Everybody please vote for this to get it on the most wanted movie list even if you dont like it vote it would be so cool to see it on that list
Why mess with a classic???? seriously we know the stories already and if somethings different in the story it just ruins it!
Crap! Just Crap! They better should put their heads together for making a new film, a new story that wasn't there already and stop doing remakes about films which are awsome for years just for making more and more money! BTW... who want's to see Pinhead without the face of Doug Bradley... it's like A Nightmare On Elm Street. Freddy? Wihtout Robert Englund? Bullshit! They better should think before they start making redicolous remakes which nobody wants to see!
I completely agree! Lol. Too bad no one will listen
