‘Hellraiser’ Reboot On The Way From ‘Dark Knight’ Writer

Deadline is reporting that the latest horror franchise to get the reboot treatment is non-other than Clive Barker’s Hellraiser series. The film, which is coming from Spyglass entertainment will be written and directed by Blade Trilogy architect and co-writer of Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise (Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises). Here’s what the writer/director had to say about the new film:

“I’ve been a fan of Clive’s work since the original Books of Blood paperbacks and The Hellbound Heart novella. Having the chance to reimagine Pinhead and the Cenobites for a new audience is a nightmare-come-true. Gary is a true fan as well and we’re committed to making something dark and visceral.”
