Will Bradley continue to be Pinhead?

Yesterday, news (here) began about a new sequel to the Hellraiser franchise by director Victoria Garcia (Mirrors 2). One of the long standing associated images of the franchise has and perhaps always will be Pinhead, played demonically by Doug Bradley. Sources tell Shock that Bradley will not be Pinhead for the ninth time (yes, there’s been that many sequels).

No word if the Pinhead character will be played by a different actor or just not be in the new film at all. Things like this kind of makes one wish a remake would happen (here). Jesus wept, indeed.
