Clive Barker has been talking about the planned Hellraiser remake.

Although it must be noted that Barker will have nothing to do with the movie.

“I am a little bit of a schizophrenic about this, so forgive me if I sound like two different people on this. There’s a part of me that feels that with the new technologies, the way that we had such a modest budget on my Hellraiser movie [that] if we can have five or six times that on the new Hellraiser remake, I think we’ll get an awesome picture out of it.  Mine was a small picture, and I would hate it if they opened it up [to a bigger world]. That would be really detrimental to the picture. The [original] picture is essentially a family saga—Chekhov with blood—and that is this very small thing. And into this small enclosed world comes this godawful force, and I just had the great good fortune [of being] given the image of a guy with pins in his head.”

The remake will be produced by French director Pascal Laugier.

There are also plans to remake Candyman though Barker is yet to comment on those.

Any thoughts?
