At the end of the summer, it was reported that Dimension Films had been in talks with Christian E. Christiansen to direct their planned remake of Hellraiser, but that negotiations had ended.

Tonight, the folks over at Bloody Disgusting are reporting that Christiansen (The Roommate) is now confirmed to direct the film, and that the studio wants Amber Heard (Zombieland, The Stepfather) for the female lead.

The site states that they’ve received word that the studio wants to make this version of Hellraiser for “teens,” meaning they’ll be trying for a PG-13 rating. Putting Christiansen at the helm seems to follow this pattern, as he’s just finished up on the PG-13 horror The Roommate, which looks to be like a watered-down teen version of Single White Female.
