French Directors To remake Hellraiser
By: Lucy | October 16, 2007
Filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo have been bought on to write and direct a Hellraiser remake for Dimension Films. The fabulous French duo have just made a film called Inside which is described as “one of the goriest and unflinchingly intense horror films that screened at FANTASTIC FEST.”
The filmmakers have said they have the blessing of Clive Barker, the man behind the acclaimed novella The Hellbound Heart, to rewrite the story and had a playful message to any horror fans that were ready to dismiss the idea of a remake: “No tears, please; it’s a waste of good remaking!”
I think it would be a great idea to remake Hellraiser. The idea of bringing pinhead to a new generation is an exciting concept. But (and it’s a big but) Dimension was the studio behind Rob Zombie’s Halloween, which wasn’t the best horror remake ever. Hopefully this turns out a whole lot better.
