clive barker filming nightbreed sequals and redoing hellraiser?

[kakihara]

i read that clive is supposed to be re-doing hellraiser, lord help us. if he is involved there is hope. maybe itll be like the first two, you know with that weird dark tone. the first one was b-movie, i heard it cost less than a million to make, but they made the most of it. clive mentioned that he wanted to get a little deeper this time, maybe without pinhead or those damn hooked chains. nightbreed? i have loved this movie since i was a kid! to me its perfect, the characters, the soundtrack,everything. i have never bought this on dvd because i am waiting for them to recover the lost 30 minutes and extras for this movie, the day this happens i will squeel like a little girl and pee on myself. just hearing about sequels to this movie makes me a little sick to my stomach. i really hope that they dont mess up something that is special to me.

Barker is writing, I don't know about directing and as yet there are no actors attached to the project. I hope it doesn't happen but no doubt it will, as the other horror "re-imaginings have done well. There's been alot of Hellraiser films to date, so I'm not really bothered, I totally lost interest after the train-wreck that was "Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth"....Hell on the viewer more like! 

Nightbreed would be weird as a remake, I think it would probably be done alot differently to the original film. There's not alot you can change though if Clive is attached to that also, as it matched the novel, the novel is very, very short too.
General moviegoers my age have never even heard of Nightbreed, so it's interesting. That's also the reason I loathe Hollywood's lack of imagination at creating new ideas, all the dumb emo/jock ass-heads will think Pinhead is a "pimp-ass mack-daddy".....some crap like that, an won't even realise there's been about 7 Hellraiser films and that the first is a frickin' horror classic! 

It's all money, money, money too. Why else make a great film again that's only just 20 years old?

Last I heard about the Hellraiser remake was that Barker's gonna write it and produce it.  I did hear that Pinhead's in it, but they'll have a bigger budget this time around to do the effects/graphics better, and delve more into the Hell aspect.

I'm still wondering what happened to the DVD release of the director's cut of Nightbreed. The studio made Clive cut out over 20 minutes for the theatrical release because they deemed it too "weird".        And as for the remake of Hellraiser, last I heard the director of the seriously messed up French movie Inside was tapped to do it.

They didn't need a big budget to do the first. I mean, Uncle Frank's resurrection through the floorboards of the attic is one of the greatest sfx scenes I've seen. That's just gonna be CGI and lose all it's magic. CGI will be used probably straight from the start, if we're going to see Frank's journey to hell and his torture. That'll end up looking like the hell scenes from "Spawn" no doubt.

I liked it as well.  But I just used the quote I heard Barker say himself.  Apparently Barker feels it could've been better.

I haven't heard about it being a remake.  I did hear that Clive was writing the last Pinhead story where they kill the character off for good.  That'd be a shame.  I like Pinhead more then some of the other famous movie slashers.

There is a remake of the first that Clive's involved in, and he's writing a separate story where Pinhead is finished off for good.  No word on if the one where Pinhead is finished off will become a movie.  As of now, it's just a story that's been written.  I think he may publish it, if no studio wants to make it a movie. 

The remake is due out in January.  Clive's involvement was pretty heavy for a while, going so far as to write a 45 page treatment/story for them.  I think he also served as producer, helping to find the director.  Somewhere, the studio either fired the director, or made the director step down/quit, and Clive at one point stepped away over it.  To my knowledge, he'll still be credited as a producer/story writer, but I'm unsure if he's come back since the incident with the director.
