Hellraiser teaser for the Hulu reboot movie starring Jamie Clayton as Pinhead

A new teaser trailer for Hellraiser’s Hulu reboot has been released.

The film, directed by David Bruckner and starring Jamie Clayton in the role of Pinhead, is being described by 20th Century Studios as a “reimagining” of the 1987 film in which Doug Bradley played the role.

The teaser shows a card with a scrolling title that has Clayton’s Pinhead character behind the letters.

According to a studio synopsis, the film tells the story of “a young woman struggling with addiction” who “comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the cenobites, a group sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.’

The original Hellraiser film was released in 1987 and nine sequels followed, beginning with Hellbound: Hellraiser II in 1988 and continuing with the film Hellraiser: Judgment in 2018.

Clayton, 44, said on Twitter on Wednesday that it was “WILD” to see himself in the Pinhead ensemble.

Bradley, 67, previously played the role in eight of the films, followed by Stephan Smith Collins, 51, in the 2011 film Hellraiser: Revelations and Paul T. Taylor in the 2018 film Hellraiser: Judgment.

Clayton starred in the LA debut of the film Chain Of Death in July 2019

The cast of the new film includes Odessa A’zion, Brandon Flynn, Goran Visnjic, Drew Starkey, Adam Faison, Aoife Hinds, Selina Lo and Hiam Abbass.

Barker, 69, who regained the rights to the Hellraiser franchise two years ago, said in a statement last fall: “Having seen some of the designs from David Bruckner’s new Hellraiser film, they pay homage to what the first film created but then take it places it’s never been before.

“This is a Hellraiser on a scale I just didn’t expect. David and his team are steeped in the mythology of the story, but what excites me is their desire to honor the original even as they revolutionize it for a new generation.”
