He was in 4. The only actor to play the role more than once.

I'm probably the only one that would love to see "Hellraiser" re-imagined.

One of the most over-rated horror films ever made, IMO.

This doesn't need to be remade, this film is great as it is. I wonder what number the stories are at now. the last time i looked it was 8? If they want to remake something/ do another story with, then make another Phantasm movie.

I totally agree that Hellraiser doesn't need to be remade...

But, to all those who say that Doug Bradley 'MUST' play that particular Cenobite are off a bit I think. Yes Bradley was amazing in Hellraiser 1-8. He's a great actor and great character, but Hellraiser is more than a movie. If they're able to redo the story while remaining somewhat true to 'The Hellbound Heart', and the new actor can portray that particular cenobite (who BTW isn't necessarily the 'lead' cenobite) then I'd love to see it.

Hellraiser is much more than a movie, and to limit it as such limits the legend.

Pascal Laugier Helming Hellraiser

October 29, 2008


The Hollywood Reporter says Pascal Laugier (Martyrs) is in final negotiations to write and direct Dimension's re-imagining of Hellraiser, one of horrormeister Clive Barker's best-known creations.

Released in 1987, Hellraiser told the story of an unfaithful wife who attempts to assist her dead lover in his escape from hell. The movie introduced viewers to a race of demons called Cenobites, most notably one nicknamed Pinhead -- who became one of the most enduring horror characters of the decade -- who was summoned using an antique puzzle box.

Dimension has been hoping to relaunch the franchise for the past couple of years, first hiring Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo to write and direct a remake then hiring Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton to write a new draft.

"This is a dream project for me," Laugier said. "I know Clive Barker's work very well, and I would never betray what he has done. Fans are expecting a definitive 'Hellraiser,' and I don't want to take that away from them."

Weird...I thought I heard Alexandre Bustillo (Inside) was doing it. I guess I had my frenchies mixed up, haha.

I thought Bustillo would have been great because I thought Inside was awesome. I haven't seen Martyrs yet, though, so I don't have an opinion yet.
