Collider .com spoke with the DRIVE ANGRY director about the state of affairs on HELLRAISER. “Shooting HELLRAISER is one of the prime things that we’re focusing on right now, although both Todd and I would like to make HALLOWEEN 3, as soon as somebody says we can,” Lussier remarks. “HELLRAISER is an amazing world that Clive Barker created, and it is such a beautifully vibrant and surreal world within which to work. It is a canvas created by an artist. HELLRAISER wasn’t created for business. We’re certainly in conversation with Bob Weinstein at Dimension Films, who are incredibly supportive and passionate about the project, and it’s something that we’re all striving to get right because of that.
“We’re looking to do a story that takes place in the world that exists and that follows threads that were created by Clive. It doesn’t remake his story and doesn’t retell his story, yet it features components of his story and the world that he so beautifully fabricated.”
HELLRAISER’s Pinhead is one of the most iconic characters in horror cinema—a fact not lost upon the filmmaker. “It’s iconic for a reason, so if you’re going to change it, you better be damn careful about it,” Lussier says of possibly altering the Cenobite’s appearance. “We’ve had a few different versions where it was presented both differently and yet exactly the same, almost simultaneously, which was really intriguing. We have a different version that we’re working on now. There may be components to it that are presented in a new way and in a way that you haven’t seen before, but at the same time, to play within Clive’s world is to really focus on Clive’s creations and how he presented them. How do we feature that in a way that is both new and exciting, but at the same time, completely respectful of Clive’s original version?”
