The superb little genre website ShockTilYouDrop.com have broken the news that SAW IV, SAW V and FEAST writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton have been brought on board to write the remake of the classic horror flick HELLRAISER. The two will pen CLIVE BARKER PRESENTS: HELLRAISER for The Weinstein Company. The movie already has a release date penciled in: January 9th, 2009!!!



First released in 1987, Hellraiser centers on a man who finds he is given more than he bargains for when he solves the puzzle of the Lament Configuration - a doorway to hell. But his ex-lover has found a way of bringing him back, and his niece, Kirsty Lawrence, finds herself bargaining with the Cenobites, angels to some, demons to others, whose greatest pleasure is the greatest pain.
