Remake
Dimension Films' remake of Hellraiser was announced in November 2006. French director Pascal Laugier was set to direct the film but was later taken off the project due to creative differences with the producers; Laugier wanted his film to be a very serious take whereas the producers wanted the film to be more commercial and appeal to a teen audience.
On October 20, 2010, it was officially announced that Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer will be directing and writing, respectively, the reboot of the Hellraiser franchise. The film's story will differ from the original film, as Lussier and Farmer did not want to retell the original story out of respect for Clive Barker's work. The film will instead focus on the world and function of the puzzle box. Production will begin in either late 2011 or sometime in 2012 with a 2013 release date. Clive Barker will serve as producer on the project. Recently, Farmer confirmed that both he and Lussier are no longer attached to the project.
