Promo Teaser for Hulu's Reimagining of HELLRAISER Offers a First Look at Pinhead
Hulu has released a first promo teaser for its upcoming reimagining of Clive Barker’s 1987 horror classic Hellrasier. This brief teaser offers a first look at the new Pinhead.
In Hellraiser, “a young woman struggling with addiction comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.”
The movie comes from director David Bruckner, screenwriters Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, writer and producer David S. Goyer, and producer Keith Levine.
Goyer previously said in a statement: "From the moment I first read 'The Hellbound Heart,' Clive Barker became one of my literary heroes. His work is transgressive and completely redefined the horror genre. Under the guiding hand of David Bruckner, we're going back to the source and taking our inspiration from that original novella."
Barker added, "Having seen some of the designs from David Bruckner's new Hellraiser film, they pay homage to what the first film created, but then take it to places it's never been before. This is a Hellraiser on a scale that I simply didn't expect. David and his team are steeped in the story's mythology, but what excites me is their desire to honor the original even as they revolutionize it for a new generation."
The ensemble cast includes Odessa A’zion (Fam, Grand Army), Jamie Clayton (Sense8), Adam Faison (Everything’s Gonna Be Okay), Drew Starkey (Outer Banks), Brandon Flynn (Ratched, 13 Reasons Why), Aoife Hinds (The Long Call, Normal People), Jason Liles (Stereoscope, Rampage), Yinka Olorunnife (The Transporter), Selina Lo (Boss Level), Zachary Hing (Halo), Kit Clarke (Leonardo), with Goran Visnjic (The Boys) and Hiam Abbass (Succession, Blade Runner 2049).
Hellraiser will debut in the U.S. exclusively on Hulu on October 7th.
