Dimension Films hire Baskin Director to make a new Hellraiser, give Clive creative control
The Issue
Clive Barker has devoted his life into scaling the darkest reaches of the subconscious. His film Hellraiser and the original story Hellbound Heart were staples of my early dreamscape and shaped my likes and dislikes in film and literature ever since. Given the hard time Barker has had getting his new vision off the ground, I see a visionary new voice enter the screen. Can Evrenol directed a film so dark, so vibrant, so well executed that he could meld minds with Barker in such a profound way that no one else could. This stipulates Clive as writer / executive producer and deal breaker is starring the one and only Pinhead - Doug Bradley! This is not some outlandish idea, what we are looking for is creative control back to the creator and fresh artists who can still grasp the artistry involved in forging a classic from the raw matterial of the universe. The mind of an artist cannot be grasped by the bottom line of pinheads.
