Hellraiser reboot on the way? Film lovers may be pleased to hear a reboot of the classic movie Hellraiser is on its way to screens.

Collider reports Todd Farmer will write the picture with frequent collaborator and director Patrick Lussier.

The pair previously worked together on My Bloody Valentine 3D, the upcoming Nicolas Cage action film Drive Angry 3D and worked on a cancelled version of Halloween 3D.

“The theatrical film focused young adults encountering Pinhead in previous drafts, some of which included massive fantasy elements like Hellboy II, while others functioned as loose remakes of Nightmare on Elm Street starring Pinhead,” the website states.

Amber Heard – who had previously starred in Pineapple Express, Never Back Down and Zombieland – is rumoured to be in contention for a role in the picture.

Fans of Clive Barker’s character may wish to pick up a movie T-shirt in honour of Pinhead from the selection available at 8ball.co.uk.  ADNFCR-2904-ID-800134005-ADNFCR
