Clive Barker piše scenarij za remake “Hellraisera”

Službeni sajt Clive Barkera izbacio je ekskluzivnu vijest – snima se remake “Hallraisera” i on će pisati scenarij! U ovoj eri snimanja filmova bez novih ideja, horror žanr je posebice zanimljiv za stvarati nove obrade istih tema. Neću ni nabrajati sve filmove koji su unazad par godina dobili svoje nove verzije, ali i samo možete konstatirati da se dobri rimejkovi mogu nabrajati na prste jedne ruke. Doduše po meni bi se popunio samo jedan prst, ali ajde…

Vijest o tome da će se Barker pozabaviti sa filmom kojega je prije dosta godina napisao i režirao došla mi je kao šok. Čitajući njegovu izjavu, malo sam se opustio, jer je čovjek rekao jednu jako realnu stvar: “Odraditi ću taj posao, jer ako ja to ne učinim, netko će to napraviti na način koji mi se najvjerojatnije neće sviđati”. Kratko i jednostavno…

Btw, ako će koji geek među vama bitchati da cenobiti na slici uz ovaj post nemaju veze sa originalnim “Hellraiserom” – dakako znam, ali ovo je prva ok slika koju mi je izlistao Google (inače preuzeta sa horror.it).

Evo u originalu što je rekao o cijeloj Hellraiser remake priči. Sadržaj prenesen sa CliveBarker.info

I just want to have five minutes to bring you up to date on the Hellraiser situation, so that we don’t surprise anybody! They’re going to remake Hellraiser One with a lot more money and they’ve invited me to write it – the invitation came from Bob Weinstein – which I am going to do, on the basis that if I don’t do it, it will be done in some way that I probably won’t like!

It’s only that one that I really, really, really care about in terms of its remake value – and it’ll be kind of fun to have the extra money to do the effects and all that cool stuff. So it puts me in the situation of writing both the beginning and the end of Pinhead at the same time – ‘In my end is my beginning…’ I’m not in the middle, as it were, I’m leaving out his middle age, I’m just dealing with his beginning and his end.

I’m excited about it – actually it’ll be kinda cool to revisit it once and see if there are things we can do to it which will make it significantly better. I wouldn’t wish to direct – I only want to write and be a part of the producing team. I wouldn’t want to revisit something that I did as a director, something that I did all those years ago: that would be too, in a way, painful – not painful but weird, difficult, strange…

I am very happy at the idea of having some more money for the cool stuff – I don’t know how much more money, but it’s got to be more than the $900,000 that we had the first time!”
