The upcoming picture is supposed to be a complete reboot of a series that has had problems with the quality of the stories presented for a long time. Due to the end of work on the set, the Hulu website (for which the production is being created) has announced the main part of the cast. The biggest surprise for some fans will be that the role of Pinhead – the leader of the cenobites – will be played by Jamie Clayton, known from the Sense8 series.
The film also features Odessa A’zion, Brandon Flynn, Goran Visnjic, Drew Starkey, Adam Faison, Aoife Hinds and Hiam Abbass. Directed by David Bruckner, and the screenplay based on a David S. Goyer story was written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski. Clive Barker, who wrote the novel The Hellbound Heart – and later made the first Hellraiser based on it – served as producer of the new adaptation.
The first installment of the series debuted in 1987. Nine more films were made after it, and the last one in 2018. The latest production is described as faithful to the original and at the same time refreshing it, so far there is no release date. The picture will definitely make its debut on Hulu. There is no information about a possible Polish distribution either.
