Hellraiser

Despite the company ailing a bit, The Weinstein Co. is still busy readying projects for release next year. Among them are lots of hot horror properties including Scream 4 and remakes of Clive Barker's Hellraiser, Scanners, and An American Werewolf in London. Yes, we've reported on all these before so why bring them up again?

This is shaping up to be one of the best weeks so far this year for DVD collectors. Along with new and well-received fare like The Burrowers (review) and Laid to Rest (review) and old favorites like Hellraiser (review) on Blu-ray and in a limited edition box set, we've got some wild cards that could go either way.

Is it me or is the term reboot becoming increasingly more annoying than even remake. It's as if the folks behind these things are trying to disguise the fact that they're making a remake by calling it something else. I just don't get it. Anyways, Martyrs director Pascal Laugier spoke a bit today about his upcoming foray into the land of the Cenobite.

Finally after sifting through hundreds of toys and countless encounters with frightening overweight people dressed up in spandex like their favorite superheroes (seriously, fat Iron Man? WTF?), Nomad and the gang have dug up some horror news that we can sink our teeth into! A better look at the upcoming Hellraiser DVD box set!

Jesus wept! Anchor Bay has announced the imminent release of the Hellraiser Limited Edition Box Set, scheduled to hit stores on April 21, 2009. While the movies are great to have around, the striking thing is the unique packaging; the films are sold within their very own Lament Configuration, the infamous and horrifying box which is capable of summoning the twisted nightmares that are the Cenobites.

Pinhead, Ghost in a Shell, and Jason Voorhees might not have much in common on paper; but that’s not stopping Anchor Bay from grouping them all up at their booth at the New York Comic Con. The company is taking this opportunity to announce Blu-ray high definition releases of Hellraiser and Ghost in the Shell, as well as offering Q&A opportunities from producer Don Murphy.

The freaks over at Upcoming Horror Movies got their hands on the specs for the April 21st release of Hellraiser on Blu-ray, and we thought we’d share ‘em with you. Cause, you know, we care.

Trade magazine Production Weekly has reported that Pascal Laugier is considering signing up to direct a mad canine thriller aptly dubbed Dogs.

I guess the first bit of news that should be mentioned from AICN’s interview with Martyrs director Pascal Laugier is that an American remake of Martyrs is already in the works. It is, of course, not surprising in the least considering how well received the film has been since its festival debut, but it's a little disappointing nonetheless.

We just got our virutal hands on the final, official, this ain’t gonna change before release date artwork for Anchor Bay’s upcoming release of His Name Was Jason. Ain’t it pretty?

Well, it’s official; Martyrs helmer Pascal Laugier is in negotiations with Bob & Harvey Weinstein to write and direct the remake of Hellraiser, which you should recall was once in the hands of the French duo behind Inside before their take on the material proved too freaky.

It's that time of the year for Spooky Empire's Screamfest in Orlando, Florida! Kicking off on October 17th, Screamfest will be bringing us the Freak Show Film Festival, vendors galore, a pool party and Hellraiser and Dawn of the Dead reunions! All of this is taking place at the glorious Wyndham hotel with rooms available for as little as $99 a night!
