Clive Barker just can’t leave the world of S&M hell demons behind. And he’s dipping back into it at the behest of The Weinstein Company, which is planning a remake of the original Hellraiser and figured it would be a good idea to get the story’s creator – and the man who wrote and directed the original film – to be involved.
And now Barker has been talking about the situation on his website, Revelations. “They're going to remake Hellraiser One with a lot more money and they've invited me to write it – the invitation came from Bob Weinstein – which I am going to do, on the basis that if I don't do it, it will be done in some way that I probably won't like! It's only that one that I really, really, really care about in terms of its remake value - and it'll be kind of fun to have the extra money to do the effects and all that cool stuff.”
