Back in August 2012 we told you about a pitch being created to sell Dimension on a reboot of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, while also sharing some awesome concept art.

Paul Gerrard (Wrath of the Titans, Battle: Los Angeles) is the man behind the art, which was used to create the imagery for the below teaser trailer, directed by Mike Le Han (“Mrs. Peppercorn’s Magical Reading Room”).

Now, the “pitch trailer” for Hellraiser: Origins is set to screen at the HollyShorts Film Festival this weekend.

HollyShorts is back with the popular monthly screening series at the world famous TCL Chinese 6 Theatres, for a frightfully fang-tastic Halloween Special on October 29th. There will be three screenings this month – 7:00pm and 9:00pm will be a selection of spooktacular shorts. The 11pm will be a special feature presentation Dude Bro Massacre Party III. Attendees can vote on their favorite film from the line-ups as usual, the short with the most votes will be announced in their November Newsletter and gets an automatic bid into the 12th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival & Film Conference.

Here’s a description of the former Hellraiser: Origins pitch from August 2012:

“In July Paul Gerrard and Mike Le Han produced a teaser trailer to accompany the pitch document which has many more conceptual designs that revision Hellraiser. Paul designed the new look for Pinhead and was production designer on the shoot and Le Han pulled in all of his film resources and directed the teaser on the new Alex 4:3 camera with anamorphic lenses.

With a crew of 47 and over 100 bloodied extras, the shoot was completed and is now in the depths of post production with a massive amount of VFX work being undertaken. Method Studios, Fugitive Studios and Flipbook Animation are helming the chi/VFX with the talented Glen Southern designing (CG build of) the new Hellraiser box.

When the teaser is complete they’ll be presenting it to Dimension Films along with an outline of the first film story and conceptual art pitch document with the hope to work on rebooting the Hellraiser franchise and bringing it into the 21st Century.”

Also, below check out new concept art showing “Deconstructing Nailhead,” among other sweet imagery.

*Important Note: It should be pointed out that this is known as a fan-made trailer assembled with the hopes of catching Dimension’s attention. There is nothing official about the below, other than the excitement of seeing a really cool fan-made pitch that will hopefully blow our collective minds… Pinhead deserves to be resurrected.
