Doug Bradley, who played Pinhead in the original Hellraiser movies, weighs in on Hulu's upcoming gender-swapped reboot starring Jamie Clayton. Written and directed by Clive Barker and released in 1987, Hellraiser starred Bradley as the leader of the extradimensional demonic beings known as Cenobites, later identified in sequels as Pinhead. Bradley reprised the role in seven sequels, his last portrayal coming in 2005's Hellraiser: Hellworld.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The latest reimagining of Hellraiser is from The Ritual director David Bruckner who reteams with The Night House writers Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins. With Barker serving as a producer, the Hellraiser reboot is said to be a faithful adaptation of its source material, Barker's own 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart.
It seemed like [a female Pinhead] was coming. It’s an interesting piece of casting. I don’t know Jamie. Of course, they’ve taken even a little bit of a wrinkle in that, because Jamie is transgender. I’m not familiar with her recent work, but there was a science fiction series on Netflix several years ago called Sense8, which I was quite a fan of. Jamie was in that, and I really, really liked her performance in that. I really can’t say more than that.
Overall, Bradley seems supportive of Hulu's new Hellraiser movie and is interested in the different direction the reboot is taking the franchise, which actually happens to be more faithful to the source material. In The Hellbound Heart, Cenobites are described as androgynous, and Pinhead is said to have a feminine-sounding voice, which was used as inspiration to cast Clayton as the character.
Even more important than the Hellraiser reboot's Cenobite castings is its story, which Bradley cites as the primary reason the Hellraiser franchise has succeeded over the years. Bruckner and his collaborators seem to be taking the franchise in some exciting new directions with Clayton as the lead, but so far, much of its story remains a mystery. That should change when the first Hellraiser reboot trailer is released before it hits Hulu on October 7.
