David Goyer (The Dark Knight Rises, Krypton) will write the story with Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski (Super Dark Times) writing the screenplay. The original Hellraiser introduced audiences to the mysterious puzzle box that opened up to the dark dimension of the Cenobites and their leader Pinhead. The original film spawned nine sequels as well as comic books and other merchandise, becoming a cult classic in the process.
