Line #5 Trivia/Hellraiser2022


1	* ApprovalOfGod: Doug Bradley (Pinhead's original actor) [[https://twitter.com/RealDougBradley/status/1575654150037471232 loved]] Pinhead's new design and Jamie Clayton's portrayal. Clive Barker was also very positive about her performance, even saying [[https://www.cbr.com/hellraiser-reboot-female-pinhead-inspires-clive-barker/ it inspired him to write more stories around Pinhead]].
2	* CaliforniaDoubling: Belgrade, Serbia, doubles for Massachusetts.
3	* FakeNationality: Roland Voight, who is Serbian, is portrayed by Creator/GoranVisnjic, who is an American citizen born in Yugoslav Croatia.
4	* FilmingLocationCameo: The prologue is briefly set in Belgrade, Serbia, where the film was shot.
5	* OlderThanTheyThink: The idea of the pin-covered head Cenobite being female isn't as new as some viewers thought. Already in the original novella, ''Literature/TheHellboundHeart'', the corresponding Cenobite was said to have a feminine voice, the only clue to a possible gender a human could perceive (making this movie TruerToTheText). But even more recently, in the Boom!Studios' ''Hellraiser'' comics, written by Clive Barker himself and released through the 2010s, [[spoiler: Kirsty Cotton ended up turned into a female version of Pinhead when taking his place as leader of the Cenobites]].
6	** Made even more jarring that [[spoiler: Kirsty's female version of Pinhead, in the Boom!Studios comics]] also wore a white robe to contrast with the male Pinhead's black attire, just like Cenobites in this movie.
7	* ProductionPosse: Director David Bruckner reunites with writers Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski. The trio previously collaborated on ''Film/{{Siren}}'' and ''Film/TheNightHouse.''
8	* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Matt and Colin are played by gay actors Creator/BrandonFlynn and Adam Faison.
9	* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: A ''Hellraiser'' reboot film had been in the works since Creator/CliveBarker announced production in 2006. French filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo were originally attached to direct, but Creator/DimensionFilms was dissatisfied with their script and delayed the release until 2009. After Maury and Bustillo left to work on ''Film/HalloweenII2009'', Dimension tapped another French filmmaker, Pascal Laugier, but CreativeDifferences led to him leaving the project as well. HighTurnoverRate set in, with Christian E. Christiansen being announced as director in October 2010, only for Patrick Lussier to be announced as director ''mere days'' later. Barker then stepped into the directorial role in 2013 and announced that Creator/DougBradley would reprise his role as Pinhead, but didn't hear back from Dimension after submitting his script. It wasn't until the success of ''Film/Halloween2018'' that the rights-holders took producing a ''Hellraiser'' reboot seriously.
10	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
11	** Before this film was conceptualized, several remakes went through the works with varying ideas in terms of plot and Pinhead appearance. One idea even had Creator/WilliamFichtner play Pinhead in a prequel movie.
12	** [[Series/RuPaulsDragRace Gottmik]] was at one point considered to play Pinhead.
