There was a thread about this earlier.... Part of me wants to believe that the horror industry is less concerned with money as it is with keeping REAL horror alive in the a decade dominated by torture porn, and this is why there has been a recent resurgence in horror remakes. Of course, it could be just about squeezing as much money from franchises as possible.
Of course, where is the Hellraiser series supposed to go after
Hellworld? Is that where directors hoping to make a new (non-sucky) Hellraiser film have to go from? I think remakes are a good way to renew interest in these franchises so that more, potentially better-quality additions can be made. Look what a clean slate did for the Batman fanchise; a direct sequel to the last one would have been horrendous, so filmmakers resurrected it. So I guess my point is that there is a slim chance this remake will be bad, which is good news for fans of the original 3 films.
