We recently got a first look at Sense8 actress Jamie Clayton as Pinhead via some official promo stills, and composer Ben Lovett (via Collider) has now given fans a tease of his chilling score for Hulu's upcoming Hellraiser reboot.
We only get a brief tease of the track here, and even though it cuts off before it has a chance to build, it sounds like a suitably foreboding piece of music.
Interestingly, the video also gives us a first look at the new puzzle box (Lament Configuration Box) that's used to summon the Cenobites. The design appears to be very similar to the original Hellraiser movie's box, but there are a few subtle differences.
Barker's 1987 adaptation of his own novella introduced one of cinema's most recognizable and enduring movie monsters in Pinhead, the leader of a group of demonic beings known as Cenobites. The movie went on to achieve cult status, spawning multiple inferior sequels, a short-lived TV series, comic books, and more.
Specific details on this new version are still few and far between, but director David Bruckner recently gave us a better idea of what to expect. "It's the tale of a young woman, who's struggling with addiction and compulsive behavior, that comes in contact accidentally with the box and unfortunately begins to dabble with it. And chaos ensues."
Odessa A'Zion (CBS series Fam and Netflix's Grand Army) will star as Riley, and the supporting cast will consist of Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why, Ratched,) Goran Visnjic (The Boys, ER,) Drew Starkey (Outer Banks, Love, Simon,) Adam Faison (Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, Into the Dark), Aoife Hinds (Normal People, Anne Boleyn,) and Hiam Abbass (Blade Runner 2049, Succession).
Hellraiser is set to premiere on October 7.
