Hellraiser Reboot Lands at Hulu
Bloody Disgusting brings word that a Hellraiser reboot/reimagining movie from Spyglass Media has been acquired by Hulu. The new film has
The Night Housedirector David Bruckner and writers Ben Collins & Luke Piotrowski attached to the project. It's largely unclear at this point what the take on the material will be this time around as there have already been ten Hellraiser movies. Naturally there is also some potential for confusion between how this film connects to the preceding entries and the new TV show, with the answer probably being "no relation."
As readers might recall it was reported in December of last year that author Clive Barker had successfully won a major copyright case, gained the US rights back to his novella "The Hellbound Heart" and the rights to the screenplay for the original Hellraiser movie. You might be wondering how Barker may have won this case while Spyglass is still able to push their new movie forward, and the answer is that Barker won't have the rights back fully until December 19, 2021. On that date, any new version of the material that would be made would need to go through Barker and have his involvement.
