Hellraiser: Judgment Cast Revealed; Meet the New Pinhead
To quickly recap a handful of recent stories we’ve published here on Dread, makeup effects artist Gary Tunnicliffe is hard at work shooting Hellraiser: Judgment, a brand new installment in the franchise that will not feature Doug Bradley as Pinhead. So who’s taking over the role? That’s what we’re here to tell you today!
Bloody Disgusting got the exclusive scoop that actor Paul T. Taylor (Sin City, Super) has been cast to take over the iconic role. Tunnicliffe recently described Taylor, without providing his name, as “a classically trained stage and film actor who brings a great physical presence and more than a hint of Peter Cushing and Ralph Fiennes.”
Full casting breakdown, via Bloody Disgusting…
Damon Carney (The Veil, The Hitcher) plays ‘Detective Sean Carter,’ Randy Wayne (To Save a Life) is ‘Detective David Carter,’ and Alexandra Harris (In the Shadows, The Veil) will portray ‘Detective Christine Egerton.’
John Gulagher – director of Feast and Piranha 3DD – will star as ‘The Assessor.’ This role is tied to ‘The Auditor,’ a character that learns of your sins, your transgressions, your evils and takes careful note of them before passing them on to the Assessor for judgement.
Diane Goldner (Halloween 2, Feast 2, The Collector) nabbed the wicked role of ‘The Cleaner,’ a terrifying, aging, naked woman who cleans bodies for punishment by licking them head to toe.
Special effects specialist Mike Jay Regan will once again portray ‘Chatterer.’
Andi Powers is going to play one of the three ‘Jury’ members, who were described as naked, perfectly beautiful girls with faces that have been shredded away with blood, bone, muscle, sinew, and teeth exposed. They pass the horrific verdicts onto all offending mortals.
Jeff Fenter (The Box, Zero Charisma) is ‘Karl Watkins’ with Helena Grace Donald (Portrait of An Art Thief) as ‘Jophiel’ and Grace Montie (Southern Tale) taking on the role of ‘Crystal Lanning,’ a beautiful socialite who is never far from her beloved little dog, ‘Baby.’
As for Heather Langenkamp, she is the chain-smoking ‘Landlady’ who snorts obscenities to the police.
Synopsis:
Detectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to find a gruesome serial killer terrorizing the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a spiraling maze of horror that may not be of this world. Could the judgement awaiting the killer’s victims also be waiting for Sean?
