The HELLRAISER Reboot You Never Asked for Is On Its Way
Clive Barker’s 1987 horror movie “Hellriaser" is getting the revival treatment at Gary Barber’s Spyglass Media Group. “The Dark Knight" writer David S. Goyer is on board to produce and pen the script.
I wondered why I was so cynical about this Hellraiser reboot, versus say, the Candyman reboot being overseen by Jordan Peele.
And I realized the difference.
With Peele’s version of Candyman, it’s coming from someone who has something to say - he saw something in the original material which he thought needed a brighter light shined on it (the slave-based history of the character) - and it will take the original work and shine it through that prism.
I have literally no clue what David S. Goyer will bring to this project which wasn’t already covered in the 10 existing films. Prove me wrong, Davey. Prove me wrong.
