Hellraiser remake faces more delays [13th September 2011 10:05:51]

It looks like Hellraiser is headed for the seventh circle of development hell.

The project has already been through more directors than Pinhead's got through souls, and now the latest additions ? Drive Angry duo Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier ? have dropped out. We're not sure why they left, but it might have something to do with the fact the production company behind the remake ? those lovely Weinsteins ? want it to be a PG-13. Which probably means slightly less skin-flaying than in the original. Rendering it just a little bit pointless.

Still, we're sure this isn't the last we'll hear from the project. After all, the atrocious Hellraiser: Revelations was made so the brothers could hang on to the remake rights.

Is it just us, or does this feel a little bit like Pinhead's become sentient and is ushering in a new Hell on earth via the medium of Hellraiser sequels? Oh, it is just us? Okay, cool. Source: www.totalfilm.com
