Who even still think that a remake is a remake?

Oh bullshit, it's a remake. Quit trying to think you're clever and stop with this whole play on words crap. It's a fucking remake.

AGREED, what is so wrong with calling it a remake? thats what it fucking is. I personally want to punch brad fuller in the mouth for coining the "reboot" term

I have to admit, I still have no idea what the difference is between a reboot and a remake. I would think a reboot would be more of a completely different story with the same characters, but whenever its labeled thus, its almost the same movie.

You already know what's going to happen? You can see the future? Then when are you here and helping humanity with your extra-sensory powers? Go, man, GO!

i trademarked remoot and rebade. -just letting everyone know in advance. i cant wait to see what laugier does with this!!!!!

Agreed. What's the difference? I am sure however that this will stomp Zombie's ass.

'Reboot' is the bullshit term they use now that 'remake' has been overused

Reboot, reimagining are just fancy terms for people who dont want to admit all they are doing is raping , sorry remaking a movie

I'm guessing a reboot is taking the original idea and adding some new shit, details, characters, like they did with F13 and Texas Chainsaw.

A reboot is simply a remake with the implication it will start a new franchise or canon

i aint seen all the hellraisers but i seen like 2 nd i cnt w8 to see the reboot/remake hu cares wat they call it its horror so das gd fr me

Reboot my ass. I have three words for you: Friday the 13th. 'Nuff said.

They are all remakes. Reboot's a term coined up to make people who use it sound smarter than they are. People say reboots, cause they think that's what the remake will do, "reboot an entire series, hence jump start it back to life". This has RARELY happened with a lot of remakes(especially modern ones). The term "remake" could stand for anything, being it a remake the sticks close to the original or a remake the does things differently while only keeping some core themes. It's a remake nonetheless. For intense, Cronenberg's The Fly is considered a remake, even though the story was considerably different than the original, and it created it's on continuity(even with it's own sequel). Had it been released NOW, I'm sure kid would call it a "reboot", but no. Remake. Everybody say it together, "REMAKE!". Don't be afraid.

Well no matter what is said here or anywhere, it's inevitably going to happen, watch it or dont watch it, one way or another when it's released it will do Great business based on the "Hellraiser" title alone... I was never a fan of the series anyways, so im pretty open to a new interpretation, I always liked Nightbreed better, the entire hellraiser series along with the children of the corn series are the worst & overated horror series of all time... just my OPINION

I really hope it's good. It can go either way.

Lets put it this way, the only LEGITIMATE reboot we have had in recent times is Batman Begins. That took no film as its starting point and wasn't even called 'Batman'. All the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, Hellraiser etc are remakes. End of.

As someone else pointed out, I believe that the term "remake" is basically retelling the exact same story and the term "reboot" is just using the basic elements from the original to tell a different story. But since the term "remake" gives a somewhat bad negative impression, the makers prefer to use the "reboot" term, even if it's a "remake." In any case, from what Pascal Laugier has commented on the story, it's obvious that this new Hellraiser movie is no doubt a "remake." And in my opinion, who wants to watch the exact same story told again, especially when it was done perfectly the first time around? So I say bring on the "reboots" but fuck all and any "remakes" to come.

Christ, it's not that complicated. A remake is making use of many original elements from original, such as Bloody Valentine or Last House. A "reboot" is taking basic themes from original but going in some new directions to hopefully renew interest in a potential new series. What is so hard to grasp?

HA! There you have it. I always said that a remake and a reboot is not the fucking same thing. a remake is a direct copy of the original, a reboot is a re-invented version of the original that is serving as a relaunch for the entire franchise. Who still thinks that this is the same thing is just fucking dumb. But I gotta say if they don' cast Doug Bradley as Pinhead and make an entire new Hellraiser franchise with a new Pinhead I will be pissed til the end of time.

reboot/remake/reimagine; it's all the same to me!!!

Remake can be used to explain both both meanings, Pike. Merriam-Webster defines "Remake" as ":to make anew or in a different form". That DOES include rebooting and reimagining. It's all the same. The use of different terms is rather just dressing up the fact that it IS the same. To this new generation, there is some stigma surrounding the term "remake", so we have to come up with our own version of the word to feel better about ourselves and our generation's achievements. It's still the same crap, though.

convince me

Oh jesus christ man, if its not following the first 8 films than its a remake, NOT a reboot, Halloween was more of a reboot than remake, because only the last half hour had remake elements. Dimension has already screwed up the Hellraiser(with Bloodline)and Halloween(with Curse of Michael Myers)franchises, now they want to just screw up all the films already made for money this is why Hollywood is in the shitter and everything is being sequelized or remade.

Remake is the umbrella term. A reboot is a form of remake that is specifically meant to kick off a string of further films. Reboots hide under the guise of "updating classic ideas and characters for a modern audience" but they're just test bait to see if the fisheep (you the audience) will bite, how hard you will bite, and if you bite enough to indicate that a sequel to the reboot will make money. Reboots are written to specifically accommodate sequels and are often not complete as an individual film. Unlike their name, reboots rarely do begin a film franchise anew and instead stay dangling and incomplete forever, mere stepping stones for professionals' careers in film. Basically, they're execs looking for the money shot by funding a talent circle jerk.
