In an interview with ScareTissue, Heather Langenkamp let it slip that Hellraiser 10 has entered production. There has not been an official announcement yet, but with the news now out there I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. Langenkampn, who you should recognize as “Nancy” from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, is starring in the sequel, though it’s unknown at this time what the role is.
“I actually have an opportunity to play a small part in Hellraiser – the new Hellraiser. I’m so excited about it. I go next week to do the shooting. The script is amazing and that I got the part is something that I find incredible.”
Gary Tunnicliffe will be directing Hellraiser 10. Tunnicliffe is no stranger to Pinhead, he’s been with the franchise since the third film. The way that the film has been handled, with little publicity and no listing for the film on IMDb, is a little odd. Hopefully the plot and cast will soon be revealed. One explanation for Dimension Films’ rush into production, if they don’t make a sequel/prequel every few years they will lose the rights to Hellraiser, much the same way they lost the rights to Halloween, and time is running out.
Doug Bradley, the original Pinhead, confirmed via Facebook that he is not involved with the film.
“Anyway, story short: a new movie is happening and I have nothing to do with it,” Bradley continued. “I was unable o make a decision about it because I was not allowed to read the script, unlike Revolutions where I made a conscious decision not to do the movie based on the motives for making it and the poor quality of the script.”
That doesn’t very good. Does it? We will keep you updated as we learn more.
