Hellraiser back-burned

It looks as though the remake of cult horror film Hellraiser has been put on the backburner once again.

The news comes after the creative team behind the remake, Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer announced that their re-envisioned Hellraiser would probably never see the light of day.

The film remake has had numerous ups and downs over the last few year, dating back to 2007 when Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo were attached to the project to direct a screenplay written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who wrote the one of the many Saw sequels. After these two left Pascal Laughier was in for a while and then he left and was replaced by Christian E Christiansen, but he too has since left the project. Things aren’t looking good for this remake.

Well it has to be said that maybe this is a blessing in disguise that the studio have decided to back burn this, I mean isn’t it about time people started making original films once again?
