While not 100% confirmed, it appears that a release date has been set for Hellraiser: Judgement, the latest instalment in the long-running franchise, and the second not to feature Doug Bradley in the iconic role of Pinhead. According to both IMDb and the film’s Facebook page, the film will be hitting screens on March 28th, 2017.
Hellraiser: Judgement is directed by Gary Tunnicliffe, who has worked in the effects department on the series since 1992’s Hellraiser II: Hell on Earth. He is currently in post-production on the film, which stars A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Heather Langenkamp, along with Feast director John Gulagher, Diane Ayala Goldner (Feast, Halloween II, Hatchet III), Randy Wayne (True Blood), Damon Carney (2007’s The Hitcher) and Mike Jay Regan, who returns to the role of The Chatterer, which he played in 2000’s Hellraiser: Inferno and 2005’s Hellraiser: Deader.
Sin City’s Paul T. Taylor plays Pinhead, who will take something of a back foot in the film, allowing new villains The Auditor and The Assessor to take centre-stage, along with The Surgeon and The Butcher.
Synopsis:
Detectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to find a gruesome serial killer terrorising the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a spiralling maze of horror that may not be of this world. Could the Judgment awaiting the killer’s victims also be waiting for Sean?
