Hellraiser reimagining wraps production, Pinhead casting announced

Share this Article:
The classic horror series Hellraiser casts a female Pinhead for its upcoming return, as production on the film completes. The producers behind the upcoming Hellraiser remake have spoken about the film being a ā€˜loyal, yet evolved reimaginingā€™. And as the film wraps production, with a scheduled release date of 2022, we have our first inkling of what that evolution may look like. The casting of the seriesā€™ iconic antagonist, Pinhead, has been announced, and for the first time in the series, the character will be portrayed by a woman. Jamie Clayton of The L Word will take on the role of Pinhead, leader of the Cenobites. Along with Clayton in the lead, the horror film will also star 13 Reasons Whyā€™s Brandon Flynn, The Boysā€™ Goran Visnjic, Outer Banksā€™ Drew Starkey and  Everythingā€™s Gonna Be Okayā€™s Adam Faison among others. The reboot, which comes to us courtesy of Spyglass Entertainment, is set for a release on the Hulu streaming service in the US, with no word as yet to what the release strategy might be here in the UK. David S Goyer has devised the story though, with The Night Houseā€™s David Bruckner directing. That film certainly showed some real potential for thrills, although they were more of a supernatural drift. What Bruckner can do with a more visceral style of horror, weā€™l have to see when the film releases next year.
