Since tapping Pascal Laugier (Martyrs) as director of the Hellraiser remake, Clive Barker hasn’t said much about the subject. Bloody-Disgusting was able to get a hold of the man for a few words.
"I'm supposed to get his treatment this week,” Barker says. I’m very excited at the idea of him doing it… Pascal is a very talented filmmaker, obviously a lot more talented than I was when I stepped onto the sound stage on [the first] Hellraiser and I hadn’t really directed anything before... I am completely open and ready to be blown away. I don’t have any possessiveness about it. I just want people to have fun.”
I’m sure a lot of you saw original Hellraiser f/x artist Gary Tunnicliffe’s new take on Pinhead (pictured in this blog), which he pitched last week. There were mixed thoughts on it, and some confused folks assumed this WAS new Pinhead. When asked about Tunnicliffe’s re-imagining of head honcho Cenobite, Barker commented that he “Didn’t like them.” He assured us all that the new design would be faithful to the original. “I feel that the Pinhead design works best because it’s geometric,” Clive remarks. “It’s very severe and schematized. Each of the squares are the same size, all the scars are laid out in a straight line. It isn’t the work of somebody going at somebody else’s face with a chainsaw. That, I think, is what makes the thing scary-ritual scarification. This is not crude, vicious slashing."
