Okay it has come to my attention that Hellraiser: Revelations is a sequel and not the actual remake... First of all, I'm never satisfied with my own writing but I know I'm at least a decent writer; but if f*****g DOUG BRADLY of all people turned down my script I'd rewrite that screen play so f*****g quick... So the director Victor Garcia instead of having writer Gary J. Tunnicliffe redo his f**k up he casts someone else to play the legendary and iconic role of Pinhead... I don't know who these two A**-Clowns are but I've immediately lost all respect for them... I don't know if Doug Bradly has other reasons for not taking the role but I can't imagine he would give it up without good reason and either way I would not have made the film regardless much less RUSHED it. Hellraiser is a classic, not to mention it popped my horror movie cherry. I really am upset to hear from the first screening they showed the film was terrible and without Doug Bradly. The only thing people have seemed to agree on is the gore is executed well. F**k that though, Clive Barker created a unique story rich with plot and wasn't about the gore. well... At least there was a good thought out story there. Though the movies always had the gore factor they at least stayed true to "The Hellbound Heart" to some extent when they began and kept the story rich. No one ever gets to direct ANY of my work except for me... I will still probably watch it so whatever... I'm defiantly not paying to watch it though...
Here take a look at the "NEW" Pinhead:
F*****g A... This is like the era of unoriginal work and piss poor artists making quick money by ruining other peoples hard work by adding on to it with grade A crap...
Other than that I'm not excited about a remake but I can at the very least say I am curious... I'm really not sure what's going on with it and I'm not sure if project: Angel is a part of it but I know the guy wanted to simply redo Pinheads look himself to keep some hack job from doing anything like above.
Either way Project: Angel is a million times better looking than that straight up bargain bin garbage... Also does kind of have the look and feel of Clives current artwork.
Check out project angel:
Still not our classic Doug Bradly work of art but... After hearing about the sequel and seeing that imposter, I really can't complain...
Also Clive is apparently writing a Hellbound heart II and has just released the new comic which I hear doesn't disappoint (go figure)...

It's all about the money, baby. I know it's hard for a horror purist like yourself to accept, however, it is the age we live in. Get use to it and keep a private collection to sooth your ire. Few will understand the significance of ruining a great horror creation. Most people don't get it. You're blessed with a tell-tale heart. You'll never be rich because being a sell-out would drive you mad. I love that about you.
ReplyDeletefuck money... Where the hell is my fan base? Also Clive is so not a sell out and I know he is living well enough. LOL
