Doug Bradley on Hellraiser series, Remakes, Dimension Films and more!

[BradenTaylorRoberts]

"No remakes please, it's a waste of good celluloid!" Lol! Doug Bradley is a pure genius!

[XAkatsukiRoseX]

RIP Headphone users.

[Cyaegha47]

Damn it Dimension Films! If money is all is all you understand, then how is it that you don't understand that you would get a hell of alot more money if you just let the people who can make a good film, make a good film!

[pyro80]

his voice sounds so different from his pinhead voice

[Silentshivers]

Some things should never be changed.

[Dunny9921]

Interesting how much he disliked Inferno, I found it a lot better than Deader, Bloodline and Hellworld. I don't think I could even sit through Deader again.

[foottothenuts]

@Dunny9921 I agree

[TruthseekerYgg]

Dimension Films are IDIOTS!!!!

[alwaysflyalwaysfresh]

the beginning of the vid pisses me off with that fucking screaming lol

[xNeonSkittlesx]

@alwaysflyalwaysfresh i had my volume all the way up lol my parents thought i killed someone lmao

[lysander1]

that was more refreshing than a coors.

[Despondency420]

1 person was scared off by the obviously disappointed Gunnar Hansen.

[KISSarmyGuy]

Doug is so fucking awesome!

[mikerules666]

Doug Bradley IS the one and only Pinhead from Hellraiser. I've seen trailers for the new movie and I think it sucks. The new Pinhead looks like a wussy EMO version. Just like the new Freddie. It was all about the acting and especially the voice. Robert Englund has been and always will be the only Freddie Kreuger I'll ever like.

[LAMBOFGOD690]

00.0 00.4 fuck off

[seamonex]

it really sucks that doug is no longer pinhead

[TheSuperSayian9000]

The person who disliked this video opened the box.

[nWoHallNashHoganSyxx]

@TheSuperSayian9000 im the person thats going to open your farthole.

[TheSuperSayian9000]

@nWoHallNashHoganSyxx Okay that was random.

[nWoHallNashHoganSyxx]

@TheSuperSayian9000 PINHEAD fucking rules ALL.

[TheSuperSayian9000]

@nWoHallNashHoganSyxx Less random.

[PalaceOfExile]

Wow why does everyone like Hellraiser 3 so much? It was one of the worst if not the worst. He acted more like Freddy Krueger in that one. 4 wasn't bad, he had good lines in that one and actually regained his composure. Even Doug likes 3...wtf?

[adamclifton29]

@PalaceOfExile I think that was the point. His human soul was separated from the demon, causing Pinhead to act without rules and guidelines, making him more like Freddy and killing at random. He was merged back together at the end, but the effect probably didn't completely work until he got sent back to hell by Joey. It's part 4 that doesn't make sense, because he's back to killing innocent people at random. At least Hellraiser 5 takes Pinhead back to how he was in the first 2

[nic1357]

fuck the remake if Bradley isnt in it.

[mistermarcel22]

@nic1357 yes true no actor can play pinhead as he do same as Robert Englund he was Freddy the remake is not good even the blood level is is smaller

[birddogbull]

what do you expect? Dimension is a subsidiary of Buena Vista Entertainment, which is Walt Disney. you don't let those fucks have control over something like Hellraiser!

[darkallegiance666]

He is so great. You could never have a "Hellraiser" without Doug Bradley. I don't think that 5-8 are bad. Another direction was taken, and it was an interesting one. If they had kept on going on the same premises as 1-4 then what would happen? Pinhead is evil, and Pinhead keeps losing....and I don't want him to lose - I want him to WIN. IMO 4 was the worst - bad plot, bad acting. But....Pinhead, the Creeper & Pumpkinhead are the 3 sexiest monsters ever!!!!!

[JHgamer101]

any idea when new hellraiser is out or a trailer

[z93e]

thumbs up if you think he looks like JK Simmons

[Cyproduction]

"We are Hollywood, we don't listen to fans, we only listen to our wallets"

[EvilSpoofAuthor]

This is the same thing that happened with Nightmare on Elm St. 'he's too old.' What does his age matter? They're in prosthetic makeup anyway. Get a stunt double for things they can't do. I didn't think remakes would be so bad with new technology and effects, but by replacing people like Doug Bradley and Robert Englund who put their whole personality into their performance, you may as well just create a new character w a different identity bc they're not the same anymore.

[GabrielDhalaman]

to meet doug bradley would be...to me,my childhood was the 3 first hellraisers(the real ones),6yo i went to the cinema(my mom with me,great mother)and i saw the third,then the other 2 in video

I would have no words...

[tRiShA456]

i would love to have a hellraiser remake.... best horror movie ever =)

[NeverAgain1985]

Why do i get the feeling the remake is just gonna be another teen slasher

[kurukururock]

I know I cannot be the only girl who thinks inappropriate thoughts about Doug Bradley.

[Peryscapyne]

@kurukururock No your not, heh heh.  ;) ;)

[spyrothedragon590]

Dudes, if they're gonna remake another Classic, don't butcher it. Doug Bradley stills looks like he can pull off the role of Pinhead. If it's gonna be remade, he should be Pinhead! I hope Platnium Dunes doesn't do it. They've had their fair share. They've done enough. Who's with me, anybody???

[Pinkranger87]

The Gods of horror

[mysteriosupafan]

dont u mean doug bradley(pin head)(hell raiser)

[JRHartly1984]

I would think you would become very disillusioned with the whole studio system as it is very quickly if you were new to the business.

[stingfan4]

I fucking hate the weinstiens they'd rather make a few more bucks with a shit film than make a good film.

[SunnySkyNL]

Make the remake with Doug Bradley as pinhead or don't make the remake at all, they fucked up to many great movies with remakes already.

[Lichbane1]

just as bad as them remaking "near dark" and to make it worse micheal bay is directing

[DaWickerMan]

I actually thought 5 was a good movie... yes Pinhead's only in it for 5 min but it's leagues ahead of 6-7-8

[paulod27]

I like Doug Bradley, but the guy is a serious hypocrite because in earlier interviews he says that he would do a remake if asked then he keeps on talking about how shit they are. He is right of course, but why does he keep harping on about them and then wanting to star in The Hellraiser remake. Most of his Hellraiser sequels are shit too and he knows it.

[bobafettfan32]

I've met every1 on that panel.

[nolderine]

FOR the love of...EVIL pls pls pls let clive rewrite the fuckin screenplay cast doug bradly and reboot it . OR I WILL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART !

[Theicemonkeyjr]

@nolderine Clive is listed as in development for hellraiser remake on imdb

[nolderine]

@nolderine tnx for the update , seen some footage of clive recently he wasn't looking in the best of health :(

[THEFRESHISHERE]

@MileyHellraiser I wanne see the trailer of the hellraiser remake.Its gonne be a sick remake.I love remakes.

[frsnduffy]

i cant understand what the fuck he's saying

[Daisygrl06]

Why can't they come up with something more original? Like a hellraiser movie that entails of each cenobites creation, besides the ones we've already seen showing how stitch, bound1&2 ect became cenobites. Even throw some of the cenobites from the book into the movie. Give us some kind of FRESH ideas PLEASE! No Doug= No Pinhead, it will be complete shit w/o.

[movieaddict19]

Remake this motherfucker with Doug Bradley still playing pinhead and it will be amazing!!!!!!

[cclapp]

Nobody can remake this, Doug Bradley was epic in this series, period.

[sharona1981]

Can I just say, at the risk of sounding like a massive freak, that Doug Bradley's voice does things to me it really has no business doing? :)

[jollycholly06]

I thought five was a really good one, different but very good. The guy who played the cop was a good actor too.

[creepyh0ll0w]

friggin awesome!

[Vattens]

Doug is spot on. These corporate cocksuckers clearly don't give a shit about the fans, the franchise history whether it's coherent or not - and if it is be sure they'll fuck that up, and the people like Doug who MAKE the characters who/what they are, and who/what we as fans have come to love. Dimension, like other studios, just want to continue with redundant remakes and reboots of classics, even if they don't make a ton of box office income. It's all a bunch of worthless bullshit. Period.

[777Rottweiler777]

@Vattens I totally agree with all of what you wrote.

[pivotman64]

@Vattens honestly i think the only thing dimension films is good for is "spy kids", which wasn't very good anyway.

[londea88]

@reboothater Well not never wanna see it again. Just scary enough to leave an impact on people. If it was scary enough to make you not watch it ever again it wouldn't make much money then would it and we all know how movie makers at least most are all about the cha ching.

[aifnord]

I really don't get why he dislikes the fifth movie so much, I think it's arguably the best in the series. Granted, it's not so much a Hellraiser movie as a standalone psychological thriller with a few Hellraiser-references in it, but it's still really really good.

[sharona1981]

@aifnord I think he felt that there was far too much talking in it and not enough action. Too much 'moralising' is how he put it.

[sharona1981]

"No remakes, please-it's a waste of good celluloid." Well said Doug,lol!

[londea88]

@sharona1981 I could make a modern day horror flick that would rock peoples socks off no joke either.

[shawandrew]

I'd like to see a remake that is full of sadomasochism, where the cenobites are mysterious, and the only purpose of a "pinhead" character is to be a voice for them, hopefully as little as necessary. I think Frank Cotton was a good minor villain too, and the overall villain should be the power of the box (Leviathan) which is like a mysterious hand of god, like fate or karma.

[155qwerty155]

I hope they remake it as a tv series. Not that old was poor, but there is much to explore in this Barker's world. My only hope is that, it's short and sweet, not like Lost, Heroes and Flash Forward which goes on and on and on. And on and on... and on and on...

[londea88]

@155qwerty155 I actually thought it might be good as a dark gothic animated film drawn in the same way as Hellsing the anime was done.

[sharona1981]

It's obvious Doug has a great love for the character and for his work in Hellraiser-which is why it pisses me off so much to imagine Hellraiser being remade without him.

[londea88]

@sharona1981 I honestly believe that to make a horror movie you have to make it so that when people watch it they get so scared they cry or get sick to their stomachs.

[gm253718]

I hate how everyone bitches about remakes. "OH NO THE ORIGINALS ARE WAY BETTER THEY DONT HAVE TO REMAKE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!", I don't get it. If you're a fan of the series wouldn't you be happy to see a remake? I mean c'mon, this stuff is like 30-20 years old now, it's nice that they freshen up stuff. And for those saying "HOLLYWOOD RAN OUT OF IDEAS", bullshit. Go watch District 9, Avatar, Zombieland, and tell me they ran out.

[rushaholic]

I think the feeling behind those thoughts on remakes is that the passion for the characters and story is lost. Most of these original horror films were made by people who love the genre, who endured hardships to get it made, not a studio/corporation looking to cash in on the name. They may have "fresh" ideas and better tech but they have no heart. I completely agree that a film like District 9 was fresh and new, but that wasn't from Hollywood at all!!

[gm253718]

Well it's not like they CAN put heart into the films, I mean, c'mon it's you're copying and pasting the shit but just adding more to it. Would you put a lot of passion into rewriting Romeo and Juliet to make it better? No, but you wanna try to. That's what they try doing, even if most of the times they fail.

[londea88]

@rushaholic You hit the nail right on the head or should I say the pin right on the head? Film makers nowadays only care about money not about making their film a true work of art. When you make a movie instead of getting out quickly take the time to make it as perfect as you can.

[SirGage0]

District 9 is nothing more then a retelling of apartheid in South Africa, save with aliens...

Avatar is Pocahantas and Dances with Wolves, retold with 10ft tall blue aliens taking the pace of Native Americans...

Zombieland is no more "original" then any other Romero-inspired zombie flick (and that number grows like mold in an old bathtub with every passing year)...

So yeah, if You honestly believe that those three examples are signs of Hollywood's "originality", You're a fucking idiot...

[gm253718]

They're original in their own way. And if you can't see that then you're the fucking idiot.

[SlicedAndDiced]

On the other side, it´s kind of exciting to see some of those 80s horror idols in a new look. As much as I like old Pinhead, I´ll definetly go watch the remake.

[punkonthis]

@REKONBALL2

Hollywood is greedy and they want to recycle franchises and bank on those that will come to see the horrorshow versus invest more in new material. There are so many novels and other art forms that could inspire movies. Hell, they could go to the fanfiction website and grab inspiration from them. Hellraiser would be even better if you took it and told it from Pinhead's perspective. No, they don't think of doing this like this often.

[21melpomene]

@REKONBALL2 You too? We need to have a talk w/ these people... ;)

[ppgabesz]

no they're not running out. Its just that some ideas were born waaay before they're time... Just like Nightmare on elm street, and Hellraiser. These movies deserve MUCH BETTER PRESENTATION. Hence the remakes..

[THEFRESHISHERE]

@REKONBALL2 HOLLYWOOD ARENT THE ONES DOING THE REMAKES FUCKTARD.There are some people who like remakes so let them enjoy it.I like remakes too.

[REKONBALL2]

@THEFRESHISHERE sorry. my mistake.

[THEFRESHISHERE]

@REKONBALL2 sorry i called you fucktard.

[REKONBALL2]

@THEFRESHISHERE lol, thats ok.

[bluewhiting]

I'm all in favour of a remake if the original is shit, but Hellraiser is a classic. Hollywood has just obviously run out of original ideas.

[Shadowcretin]

The first and fourth were alright. I think they should have stopped after number four, though.

[fuhnnypaul016]

"NO REMAKES PLEASE!! IT'S A WASTE OF GOOD CELLULOID!" HAHA True

[THEFRESHISHERE]

@fuhnnypaul016 YES MORE REMAKES.Dont watch the remake then let other people enjoy the remake. I cant wait for the the remake to bad it comes out in 2012.In the horror wiki it said its coming out in febuary 2011.I hope it comes out in febuary 2011.

[fuhnnypaul016]

@THEFRESHISHERE oh im not telling people not to watch it i just personally only like the first two hellraiser movies.... i will of course be watching the 2011 or 2012 remake to see what they come up with, although the first two will be the only ones worth watching in my eyes i will keep an open mind while watching the next one! :)

[ArchetypeZero]

Hellraiser 5 was more of a psychological horror film, most people just want blood and guts. Blood and guts doesn't make a movie scary though, i mean look at the Saw bore-a-thon that most horror fans worship...

5 is my favorite. So it doesn't focus on Pinhead, big deal. The more you show whatever it is that's supposed to be scary, the more you get used to it. That's why none of this jason vs freddy vs godzilla bullshit is scary at all.

[EvilMrDark]

Doug, u r my HERO!

[SplitSpades11]

the audio on this interview is terrible,i can barely understand what is being said as its so muffled.

[therecordwinter]

huh sick Kane Hodder is on the far left

[darkhyena]

Just finished watching Deader and Hellworld.... They make Hell on Earth look like The Godfather. I just can't believe Bradley gave Inferno a lower rating than them.

[darkhyena]

I'm surprised he dislikes Five so much. I thought it was a brilliant sequel, especially when compared to the third film

[PapanosZervoudakis]

I agree. 8 and 3 are by far the worst. 5,6,7 were decent, 1,2 were the best

[BRm2008]

bs.. 3:hell on earth was good. haven't seen any past 'deader' though

[BRm2008]

i am glad its not just me who was bored by Inferno.
