While many fans may be concerned over the decision to reboot Clive Barker’s legendary horror film Hellraiser, they should put some of those concerns aside as indie darling David Bruckner (The Ritual) has signed on to helm the new installment for Spyglass, according to Deadline.
The Cenobites are led by Pinhead, the face of the franchise who would act as the main antagonist in all nine sequels.
Spyglass will finance, develop, and fast track Hellraiser for worldwide theatrical distribution.
His next film, The Night House, premiered at Sundance in January to strong reviews from critics and is expected to debut later this year.
