Weinstein bros.-run Dimension Films has bumped back the release dates for the Hellraiser remake and Eli Roth’s Grindhouse inspired fake-trailer-anthology film Trailer Trash to 2009. Bloody Disgusting amusingly spins the studio’s reported displeasure with the Hellraiser screenplay penned by Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, the directing duo slated to film the thing, as follows:
Obviously making money is their number one priority, but it’s nice to hear that they’re not just trying to push out product without cleaning it thoroughly….it’s nice to see the Weinsteins concerned about the quality of our beloved franchise. Mucho props!
Paging Jason Adams…
Honestly, I don’t know if I can name a single instance where studio interference benefited a genre picture. Can you?
