I am so glad to see that there is no originality anymore. Barker could have created a brand new horror franchise, even cast Doug Bradley in it. But nope, why do something that requires effort when we can just remake a classic? Why does it even need to be remade? I can already predict that the extravagant CGI won't come near to the terrifying practical effects of the original.
So this is what, the 2 billionth unnecessary sequel/remake/adaptation of a past franchise? 3 billionth?
I'm torn, there are movies out there that I want remade or franchises rebooted, but yes, there is something to be said of the lack of originality in hollywood
im actually interested in this so long as clive barker is writing it.

This is one of those franchises that doesn't need a remake. Aside from the first sequel each movie can be viewed as a stand alone movie. However, i'm a sucker for these movies. Each time a new, Hellraiser movie releases I always watch it and even though i'm always disappointed I look forward to the next one lol Nice to here, Bradley is returning though

Thought this got cancelled? Hmmm anyways it'll be nice to see a new one, somehow I managed to sit through the whole of hellraiser revelations(?), think thats the name...but yeah that movie...was soooo bad that words can't explain how awful it was
you're all acting like the franchise wasnt destroyed utterly long ago with the release of hellraiser 3 and every crappy movie afterward.

And yet people continue on like remaking or rebooting movies is a new thing, which its not they've been doing it for years
Wouldn't be surprised if its hard to do now, Without it having based on a novel, Comic/Graphic Novel or even something that's influenced by something else.
The effects in the original were actually pretty good, I mean the monster that kept chasing Kirsty was a bit shit looking sure but other than that the effects were pretty damn amazing. I'm wondering this time if they'll follow the book more closely, I'm glad Dougs coming back for it cause he is pinhead.
And in the book Kirsty wasn't Rory's daughter, she was a friend of Rory's and I think she had maybe a bit of an attraction to him
The effects are a little dated yeah but still I think they do sorta hold up. Pinhead looks amazing, of course in the book he's just called the lead cenobite. The one with the chattering teeth was pretty cool too the lady freaked me out quite a bit, the fat guy was just kinda...meh. And the mutilated bodies looked so disgusting in that film with the maggots coming out. It'd be interesting to see what it would look like today, but Nightmare on elm street ended up using CGI for Freddy and it didn't look as good as Freddy originally looked in the original, so if they use todays effects it may look pretty damn awful but hopefully that won't be the case and perhaps they could make some pretty damn cool things happen.
I think I read somewhere that he didn't like the pinhead name
I think the ending was changed so they could have a sequel but then again the ending of the book left it open for a sequel too, it woulda been nice to see maybe a different puzzle box that opened another door
