Reaction to the female reboot of Hellraiser

Original Hellraiser actor Doug Bradley reveals his thoughts on the new movie that will reboot the saga with actress Jamie Clayton in the lead.

The original movie of hellraiser premiered in 1987 and the actor Doug Bradley played the leader of the Cenobites known as pinhead. Like any horror story of that time, it was somewhat successful and is considered a cult movie, which is why over the years a lot of sequels appeared. Now they will do the restart and the mythical character will be played by the actress Jamie Claytonwhich we have seen in series like sense8, designated successor Y L: Generation Q.

In a recent interview with DBthe actor was asked Doug Bradley your opinion on the new movie hellraiser. These are his words:

“Looks like a female Pinhead is coming. It’s an interesting piece of casting. I don’t know Jamie Clayton. Of course, they’ve even had a bit of a wrinkle on that, because Jamie is transgender. I’m not familiar with his recent work, but there was a sci-fi series on Netflix several years ago called Sense8, which he was quite a fan of. Jamie was in it, and I really liked his performance in it a lot.”

“I really can’t say more than that. I like to point out that I used a skirt like Pinhead. It’s an interesting casting decision. Well, that only goes so far. We say girly Pinhead like we know what that means, but there are a million shades of femininity. Where exactly are they going to go with that? Everything in 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 the rest of you, I guess, to see where that goes.”
