New Hellraiser Film In the Works?

Well this news story came out of nowhere.

In a exclusive interview from Scaretissue.com, actress Heather Langenkamp (aka Nancy) from A Nightmare on Elm Street recently dropped some juicy news that she’s landed a role in a new Hellraiser movie that will start shooting next week in Oaklahoma with effects guru Gary J. Tunnicliffe in the director’s seat. Is it a sequel or the upcoming remake? Will Doug Bradley be returning? A lot of question running through our heads at the moment.

Strange news indeed? We really don’t know what to make of it at the moment. So take it as a grain of salt for the time being. Only time will tell on this one.

This doesn’t bold well for fans of the Hellraiser franchise. It sounds like this is going to be another cheaply made movie that’s only being made to keep so Dimension Films can retain the rights to the franchise.

Checkout this news report from the popular horror site Bloody Disgusting:

I knew that Dimension was on the cusp of losing the Hellraiser rights, too, and was curious to see how things played out. So, it’s not all that surprising that they may be quickly rushing another sequel into production.

The news comes from a surprising source, Heather Langenkamp, best known as “Nancy” in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare On Elm Street films.

In an interview with Scare Tissue, Langenkamp reveals she begins filming a role in the newHellraiser next week.

“I actually have an opportunity to play a small part in Hellraiser. I’m so excited about it. I go next week to do the shooting…” she said. “The script is amazing and that I got the part is something that I find incredible.”

When asked who was behind the camera, Langenkamp revealed: “It’s Gary Tunnicliffe, who did all the makeup for all these years. They gave him an opportunity to direct the movie. I think it’s going to be pretty outstanding.”
