Horror movie icon Hellraiser is getting a brand new television show that will be developed for HBO with David Gordon Green directing the pilot.



Hellraiser is making a return at last, this time in a new television series being developed for HBO. The iconic horror character Pinhead was last seen in 2018's Hellraiser: Judgment, the 10th installment of the long-running series. Following the poor critical and fan reception of Hellraiser: Bloodline, the subsequent sequels have all headed straight to video.
Clive Barker's first Hellraiser film was an adaptation of his own novella, The Hellbound Heart. The story centered on sadomasochistic entities known as the Cenobites who, if summoned, drag their willing participants down to Hell, where they are tortured endlessly until they learn to enjoy it. Pinhead, the now iconic horror character, is the leader of the Cenobites. The first film made its debut in 1987, making a splash with critics and audiences alike. After Barker completed his work on the first and second films in the series, he decided to part ways with the franchise. The series would continue on without him with eight sequels coming to fruition, includingHellraiser III: Hell On Earth, Hellraiser: Bloodline and Hellraiser: Inferno.



A new Hellraiser television series is currently in development at HBO with David Gordon Green set to direct the pilot episode of the series and several more. The series will be written by Mark Verheiden, whose credits include Battlestar Galactica and Heroes, and Michael Dougherty, who has worked on Godzilla: King of the Monsters and the beloved cult favorite, Trick r' Treat. Gordon Green's last film credit that he directed was 2018's sequel to the original Halloween, which was critical and financial success for Blumhouse, grossing an impressive $255 million worldwide on a modest budget of just $10 million.




The last anyone heard of the Hellraiser franchise was when a new film reboot was announced with David Goyer and Spyglass Media Group developing it. They had chosen writers Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski to crack the story and hired David Bruckner to direct, most known for his work on V/H/S. While other details about the project have remained shrouded in mystery, Spyglass has stated that their new take will be "loyal, yet evolved."
Gordon Green's directorial talents will next be seen in the Halloween sequel, Halloween Kills. The film will once again star Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, as she once again crosses paths with and battles the infamous Michael Myers. Though plot details for the film are scarce at this time, writer Scott Teems has stated he thinks the sequel is going to be more intense than its predecessor. Gordon Green has proven to be a genre chameleon over the years, directing broad comedies, such as Your Highness and Pineapple Express, and indie dramas Stronger and Joe.
If there is one horror icon that deserves a much needed reinvention, it's Pinhead. Though the character made a strong first impression with his first two films, the mythology and storytelling of the sequels were a significant step down. David Gordon Green, who has done a wonderful job making Michael Myers horrifying again, can no doubt provide the same service for this beloved horror character. He's proven to be adept in the horror genre, so seeing him broaden his horizons further within that playground is terrific to see. Audiences will have to wait and see if he can pull off another successful reimagining when Hellraiser makes its debut on HBO.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    "All of this lends the game distinctly last-gen look at times, which is compounded by image quality and frame-rate issues."

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
