Pinhead and his Cenobites are plotting a big return, with two brand new Hellraiser projects in the works. First up is a new movie for Hulu, which has received its “R” rating this week.
David Bruckner (The Night House), who helmed Netflix’s The Ritual as well as sections of Bloody Disgusting’s horror anthologies V/H/S and Southbound, is directing the relaunch of the Hellraiser franchise for Spyglass Media, set to be a Hulu feature film written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski (SiREN, Super Dark Times, The Night House).
“Sense8” actress Jamie Clayton is playing the Hell Priest in the new movie.
Hulu’s Hellraiser has been rated “R” for some very Hellraiser Things, including…
“Strong bloody horror violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual content, and brief graphic nudity.”
We don’t yet have a date, but Hellraiser will debut as a Hulu Original. Stay tuned.
The project is being described as a “loyal, yet evolved re-imagining of Clive Barker’s 1987 horror classic,” and the best possible news is that Clive Barker is on board as a producer.
Additionally, a “Hellraiser” television series is in the works at HBO. Last we heard, David Gordon Green (Halloween, Halloween Kills) is directing the pilot and “several more initial episodes” of the HBO series, and Michael Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat, Krampus, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) is writing alongside Mark Verheiden (“Battlestar Galactica”).
Clive Barker will be executive producing that Hellraiser project as well.
