Patrick Lussier’s ‘Hellraiser’ Would Have Been a Prequel!
http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3368692/patrick-lussiers-hellraiser-would-have-been-a-prequel/

Those familiar with Clive Barker’s remarkable 1987 indie Hellraiser remember that the central antagonist wasn’t actually Pinhead and the Cenobites but “Uncle” Frank (Sean Chapman). The film open with Frank receiving Lemarchand’s box and opening it in his attic. When his brother and wife move in, a drop of blood releases him from Hell, sending the Cenobites after him.

Lussier and Farmer’s idea was to tell the story of Frank seeking out the box, which would bring some adventure to the Hellraiser franchise, and reveal the (new) origins of Pinhead.

“We wanted to make another movie with [William] Fichtner,” revealed Lussier, who directed the actor in Drive Angry.

“The idea essentially was that we never see the story of Frank getting the box. So imagine if Frank is actually the darkest version of Jack Bauer (from “24”) and Nicolas Cage from National Treasure. It would have been the evil National Treasure story.”

He continues: “In the beginning [Frank] is going to get the box, and he’s in Shanghai. He gets caught and they hold him down and they hammer these ****ing nails into his head, but he gets free and kills everyone. But he does get the box which is being held by this guy who looks like he’s all bloated and has been ripped apart by the Cenobites. Frank steals the box and then… bad things happen.”

In this prequel/remake, Fichtner becomes the new Pinhead for the younger generation.

Oh man...Fichtner as Pinhead. Damn you...that would have worked!
 
Fichtner as Lead Cenobite would be F'ING AMAZING

also...

I absolutely love this idea because the Hellraiser franchise became way too much about Pinhead instead of focusing on the box and the concept of Hell, like the first four films.

I've said it before but the last four flicks (I don't even count Revelations as one of them) had little to nothing to do with Pinhead except kind of the one where they brought Kirsty back. They just threw him in the movie so they could make a weak ass movie with the name Hellraiser and not lose the rights. Seriously I think he gets like 22min of screen time in those last four movies combined... which are of course the only reason anybody would watch.

This just inspired me to have a Hellraiser 5-8 marathon tonight for some reason...
 
Jordan Peele’s Horror Film ‘Get Out’ Lands Its Lead
http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3370504/jordan-peeles-horror-film-get-out-lands-its-lead/

Daniel Kaluuya (Sicario), pictured above, has been locked down as the lead male in Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror film Get Out, according to Deadline. Kaluuya will star opposite Allison Williams.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, the site provides a brief synopsis, saying the movie is about, “…a young African-American man who visits his white girlfriend’s family estate.”

Peele says that a film like this hasn’t been done in nearly five decades, claiming that the film, “…takes on the task of exploring race in America — something that hasn’t really been done within the genre since Night Of The Living Dead 47 years ago.”

Honestly, I’m very interested to see how this plays out. What made the racial dynamics in Night of the Living Dead so fascinating was how little attention was paid to it by the actual characters of the film itself. The issue of race never was an actual issue, even with all the heated arguments and horrific violence that was going on. Ben being black was never brought up and he wasn’t treated any differently because of the color of his skin. That being said, it’s impossible to deny that there is a commentary, whether intended or not, in the film that is still incredibly relevant to this day.
