I'd like for Doug Bradley to return as Pinhead and have all the original cenobites (female, chattered, butterball) back as well.

A few years back Pascal Laugier was going to direct a Hellraiser movie, but dropped out.
I'd still love for him to direct. :(


Even if Bradley is not involved, Clive Barker has to be the one to write the script.

Doug Bradley and a plot that feels like the first two movies. Making Pinhead a generic slasher villain is a waste of an excellent character.

After seeing Phantasm Ravager, I wish there could be another Hellraiser movie with Clive Barker writing and directing and as many of the original cast as possible returning. Meaning Doug Bradley, Nicholas Vince, Barbie Wilde, and Simon Bamford back as the cenobites, Ashley Laurence back as Kirsty, and maybe Andrew Robinson, Claire Higgins, Sean Chapman, and Kenneth Cranham as well. Those last four are probably the most unrealistic returns though.

I'd also like to have Christopher Young back doing the score, and if he says no, at least license the themes from him so they can be incorporated by a new composer.

An appearance by some of the old locations would be cool, like the Cotton house and the Channard Institute. There definitely needs to be labyrinth/Hell scenes and an appearance by Leviathan. It sucks that Hellraiser II was the first and last to show those.

Now I'm not saying I want a rehashed story, just a continuation, show us what's going on 30 years after the events of Hellbound. I think I'd also want them to ignore the events of Hellseeker. Tiffany could be in the movie too but I really doubt Imogene Boorman would come out of retirement to reprise the role, so she could be recast.

I like the movie a lot. I would say have the effects are consistently good through out the flick. The make up holds up pretty well, except the hallway monster, that looks like a ride animatronic. This would be a great use of practical effects… Please no CGI, cause i can see the monster jumping and bouncing all over the walls if they do a computer effect… Another example where can marry computer and physical is if they make something similar to Dr Channard...

Computer effects are good for removing wires and other equipment. They'd have much more freedom with showing creatures like the Engineer and the Channard cenobite because whatever dolly or wires or cranes they have to use to suspend them could easily be erased.
