Apparently Clive Barker is going to have Hellraiser 1 remade.
Afaik another of his works, Candyman, has recently been remade.
Maybe Barker recently woke up from a sex/alcohol/drugs/other induced coma, but imo he is an average writer at best and the idea to have remakes of his movies isn't going to help with anything. Let alone that Hellraiser has by now 9 movies, of which only two are half-decent, and had been a joke for decades now

Why haven't they remade the Ten Commandments yet?
Come on Hollywood.. Imagine "LET MY PEOPLE GO" and "TO THE CHARIAT" being yelled out by Arnie
The potential for sequels is endless as well. Bear with me here but.. THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT

The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not remake Charlton Heston's classic movies, even when the most famous one gets funnier every time I see it.*
*I got a few good lolpics out of screenshots from The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur.
That said, parody movies are okay. I still like Wholly Moses! (a spoof of The Ten Commandments).

This thread having been resurrected, I read the whole thing, and this jumped out at me:
Of course you weren't to know when you posted what was going to happen six years down the line (and how often do we hear creators/directors raving about projects that are going to be made "real soon, for sure, we have a great script and we'd love to do this!" — and then nothing ever happens?), but the irony-with-hindsight of the quoted made me smile a little.
I've been taking quite a walk down memory lane tonight - just finished reading a 7-page thread in Site Feedback about who gets to start serial threads (this happened in 2010). It's sometimes hilarious to see how things change over the course of a few years or a decade.
I still think it's a damn shame about that Spanish fan film. The people who made it joined our forum and they were some of the friendliest Dune fans I've ever encountered. They had an interesting take on the Corrino family, and cast not only Shaddam and Irulan, but the rest of them as well.
If CBS/Paramount can work out a way for both commercial Star Trek movies and TV series and Star Trek fan films to coexist (the rules became insanely strict after the Axanar debacle, in which the producer simultaneously "diverted" a lot of the crowd-funding money he'd raised and tried to profit from CBS/Paramount/Roddenberry's estate's copyrights)... then surely the HLP could allow small Dune fan films to be done, right?
Nah, of course not. Can't have the fans creating better stories than the pros.

Someone needs to remake this

I was quite interested in that remake, until I realised the kid in the window wasn't Kim Jong-Il.

I would only watch that if it was called "Death on the Nile - a Terminator story" and had time travelling cyborg warfare
Whoa, Hugo Weaving looked even scarier!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre has always been a "B" movie.......I think.

TCM worked cos it was really scary for it's time.
I wasn't too impressed by the final bits, but Hoopers tension buildup before was superb.
Along with good scenery picking..one of those movies where i really felt "there".
And maybe most important: seemingly abandoned landscapes. Windmills..no random peoples..no glimmer of hope.
Today's horror films can still learn something from TCM.

I thought the novel thing TCM did was the unexpectedness of the violence. Other films at the time would have told you about the upcoming shock, with the music or setup or whatever. In TCM it kind of came out of nowhere, and was pretty effective at the time.
