Dimension Films is developing its remake of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser in 3D, according to Variety.

The studio, part of the Weinstein Company, is reportedly readying the film for a 2010 release.

Many directors have been rumored to helm the remake, but none have yet to officially sign on. French filmmaker Pascal Laugier was attached to direct earlier this year but has since left the project, citing creative differences.

The Hellraiser remake is part of a slew of horror projects Dimension plans to develop and release next year, including Scream 4 and remakes of Scanners and An American Werewolf in London.

The original 1987 “Hellraiser” told the story of an unfaithful wife who attempts to assist her dead lover in his escape from hell. The movie introduced viewers to a race of demons called Cenobites, most notably one nicknamed Pinhead — who became one of the most enduring horror characters of the decade — who was summoned using an antique puzzle box. Hellraiser spawned seven sequels, all starring Doug Brady as the iconic ‘Pinhead’.
