Leviathan: The making of Hellraiser and Hellbound:
Hellraiser II is a documentary detailing the history and the making of – a
process which was brimming with creativity and many a creative to boot - the
first two Hellraiser movies, and showcases the creative genius of its creator,
Clive Barker.
The
documentary has completed UK production on interviews which includes
Nick Vince, Barbie Wilde, Kenneth Cranham, Simon Banford, Chris Figg, Robyn
Vigeon, Geoff Portass and many, many more. (Twenty-five interviews in total
thus far.)
The stories and insights that have been gathered are making for a truly
amazing documentary, which certainly makes it a ‘must see’ event for any fan of
both the filmmaking process and of the films themselves.
The
team now firmly have their sights set on a US trip to interview several of the
American based members of the production team, most notably, hopefully the man
himself Clive Barker, which would conclude principal photography and move the
production into post-production.
The documentary has achieved so much in such a short time, but in order
to complete this project Cult Film Screenings are seeking completion funding –
having self-funded the project up to this point.
The
director, K. John McDonagh, and producer, Gary Smart, are pushing hard to
find the funds, and here’s what they have to say:
“It’d be a shame not to do this properly after all the hard work that
has gone into it so far …” says director Kevin McDonagh. “… we could cut
corners towards the end and phone it in, literally with Skype interviews and
out sourcing, however we’ve strived to create and uphold a very specific look
and vision for the documentary to compliment the films, and that is of a very
high standard of which we intend to keep. The only way to achieve that is to go
to US ourselves and do things right…”
“We’ve committed to this one-hundred percent,” says
producer and co-writer Gary Smart, “and we want to see it through to the
end in all aspects so that we can maintain the level of quality that we have
achieved thus far; it’s what the fans deserve and it’s what the legacy of those
two films deserves. One way or another we’ll give the fans what they’re after,
and finish this documentary how we’ve envisioned it right from the start: by
doing it the right way.”
