Doug Bradley Weighs In On Upcoming 'HELLRAISER' Film And Confirms The "Chatterer" Cenobite Will Appear In Flick

Over the weekend in Boston, Massachusetts, the first Silver Screams horror convention took place and ol’ Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley was there. He had some great insights and opinions on the upcoming Herllraiser film coming to Hulu soon and even confirmed a fan favorite CENOBITE will be featured in the new film.

The new Hell Priest for this upcoming Hellraiser reboot is being played by Jamie Clayton and Bradley had a few things to say about her taking over the role of Pinhead.

“It seemed like [a female Pinhead] was coming. It’s an interesting piece of casting,” Bradley says. “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. I do like to point out that I did wear a skirt as Pinhead,” he adds with a chuckle. “It’s an interesting casting decision. Well, that only goes so far. We say ‘female Pinhead’ like we know what that means, but there are a million shades of femininity. Where exactly are they going to go with that?”

Bradley continues, “Everything about Hellraiser has always been transgressive. Everything, always, from start to finish. It’s not a new idea in that sense, but I’m intrigued. I’m in the same position as all the rest of you, I guess, to see where that goes.”

Bradley goes on to confirm that Chatterer will be among the Cenobites appearing in the new film. “I was at Monsterpalooza, a convention in Pasadena, a couple months ago, and I met the guy who’s playing the new Chatterer. He’s like 6’9″ and a beanpole, so they’re going in lots of different directions. It’s another interesting casting idea. Cenobites of all shapes and sizes!”
