David Gordon Green Comments On The Dual 'HELLRAISER' Projects In The Works And Gives Update on His HBO Series

In addition to the upcoming HULU movie coming from David Bruckner and Clive Barker, director, David Gordon Green has the chains of hell sunk in deep himself with his upcoming Hellraiser TV show for HBO Max.

David Gordon Green (Halloween, Halloween Kills) is directing the pilot and “several more initial episodes” of the HBO series, and Michael Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat, Krampus, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) is writing alongside Mark Verheiden (“Battlestar Galactica”). Clive Barker will be executive producing that Hellraiser project as well.

Are we the only ones stoked Clive Barker is taking the lead with these projects? Brings a smile to our twisted face.

How are these two projects going to differ? Perhaps same universe but different time period? The details are slim. We also want to know how these projects could work together in furthering the Hellraiser mythos? A new chat with Entertainment Weekly touches upon that.

“We’ve got it over at HBO, and that’s not in script form yet, but it’s being developed,” Gordon Green explains to EW. “It’s going to be fascinating because it’s a different platform, different concept, different creators, but the same properties. I’m not sure where that ends up and how that goes, but I’m very curious.”

Gordon Green adds, “It is a fun cultural experiment, right? To think there’s a crew with a concept for a series [and] a crew with a concept for a movie taking the same mythology. I don’t know, does it become like Deep Impact and Armageddon?”
