Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer had been working on big budget theatrical reboot of Hellraiser, but it was recently revealed that they are no longer on the project. It doesn't look like their vision of Hellraiser will be seeing the light of day, but if you'd like to get a look at their new designs for Pinhead and other Cenobites, concept art has been released.
During a recent interview, Todd Farmer had the following to say about their work on Hellraiser:
"...We developed several versions for Dimension, but in the end we never saw eye to eye creatively... We did our draft of ‘Halloween’ right before we went off to do ‘Drive Angry’, then, right AFTER ‘Drive Angry’ they asked us to do ‘Hellraiser’. Originally what they wanted was epic and dark, rated R. It was in our contract. So… if WE do ‘Hellraiser’, it’s rated R; if they want to do PG-13 then they have to get rid of us."
To see the rest of the Cenobite designs, head over to Shock Till You Drop.
