Bradley asserts that the reality that Clayton is transgender is irrelevant to what he feels will make “Hellraiser” work (by the use of Syfy Wire):
“The issue which will make the movie work or not is none of that. It’s the story. If the story is highly effective, the movie will work […] That’s why ‘Hellraiser has succeeded; not because of the Cenobites are gloriously f***ed up.”
With the first trailer having merely arrived, now we have lastly obtained a higher glimpse of Clayton’s Pinhead. It ought to return as no shock that the Cenobites, coupled with Bruckner’s imaginative and prescient of hell, look unimaginable. Clayton seems straight-up terrifying. Although particulars about what’s going on on are nonetheless pretty sparse, barring the film’s synopsis:
In the all-new “Hellraiser,” a youthful woman combating behavior comes into possession of an historic puzzle area, unaware that its goal is to summon the Cenobites, a bunch of sadistic supernatural beings from one different dimension.
The film stars Hiam Abbass, Adam Faison, Brandon Flynn, Aoife Hinds, Selina Lo, Drew Starkey, and Goran Visnjic, with Odessa A’zion as a result of the film’s protagonist.
Time will inform if this new imaginative and prescient of ache and pleasure will reside as a lot as Barker’s story or the Pinhead legacy, nonetheless given Bruckner’s pedigree as a horror filmmaker, along with Clayton’s prowess as an actor, I really feel it’s protected to say we’re in good fingers.
“Hellraiser” will premiere on Hulu on October 7, 2022.
