we've been burned on hellraiser news too many times to get excited...still, Laugier is an intriguging name to attach...

If laugler is directing then i will continue to wait patiently.

so much faith in foreign directors, why not ask them to make movies based on their own ideas.

Interesting considering Pascal claims to have no interest in sequels or remakes. Martyrs is half good the rest is pointless and a waste of time.

ugh... No thanks. I'll go back to high school if I want more high school level metaphysical discussion.

WOW! this news does get me excited!! Lately, the french have been doing great in horror...Pascal sounds like a great fit. If we could only land a great director like him for "Nightmare on Elm street... wishfull thinking, i know(?)

I've heard some pretty mixed things about Martyrs. I really dug inside though. I guess they're really intrigued by the idea of getting a french director to do it.

More Pinhead this time Dammit!

Thank you Texican666, my sentiments exactly

I don't care who's directing - Hellraiser does not need to be remade!

If handled right, I think a remake could be decent- though I'm as sick as anyone could possibly be by all the remakes we've endured (and will continue to endure) just in the recent years. If the film stayed close to THE HELLBOUND HEART, this could be something different and good. Hey, it's not like the sequels didn't already rape the original film of any form of dignity anyway.

WOOO! Another overhyped thick as shit French gore filmmaker!

please, no more remakes/do overs/re-imagine etc. it's like reheating last night's dinner...it never taste the same.

damned weinstein. why is it too hard to releise this???

Frannk isn't his half-brother, they're full brothers. At any rate, I won't hold my breath.

I can't wait to see Pinhead back on the big screen! But why is it taking them so long to find a good script & a director? I hope things work out this time. And please bring back Doug Bradley as Pinhead!

what I'd like to see is a PINHEAD back story...how he became Pinhead...explain more of the story brought up in Hellraiser 2 ( I think )....when Pinhead was human, before he became a Cenobite...and yes, the hitcher, we need Doug Bradley...Just like we need Robert England as Freddy

I'm not on board. Count me out.

Tey should scrap the Hellraiser remake and remake Rawhead Rex! The original was utter rubbish! If you've read the graphic novel of it, you'd have seen how awesome it could have been.

hellraiser is an all time great why remake it?

f*ck these bloody remakes. lets see Harry D'Amour battle PinHead for the last time and then close the damn book. why not start coming up with new and interesting stories instead of just making crappy copies of classics

Someone really needs to make The Great and Secret Show. now THAT would be an awesome Clive Barker book brought to life.

What the hell was wrong with Hellraiser? What part of that needs to be remade? It was fucking beautiful! As said above, remake something that wasn't very good, like Rawhead Rex or Nightbreed (Cabal). Or venture off into new territory! Clive has written a lot of stuff, ya know!

i can't even imagine WHY they'd want to remake this. odds are it will never come close to the original. i'm very skeptical.

I agree that Hellraiser needs to be left alone! As a few guys have already said, there are loads more Barker books that would make excellent films if they were done right. I'd personally like to see Weaveworld on screen.
