Paramount Set To Remake Pet Semetary

 

Yes, another remake...

 

Paramount Pictures is getting ready to make a remake of Pet Semetary, the 1989 horror movie based on Stephen King's novel. Mike Werb and Michael Colleary (Face/Off) will be doing the screenplay.

 

The book and the film both told the story of a special cemetary where for generations, people come to bury dead pets in order to resurrect them. As they come back in their second life, however, they act in a very aggressive and violent manner. When a family decides to bury their small boy in the ancient Indian burial ground, all hell breaks loose as the sweet innocent child isn't what he used to be.

The first one was so-so at best...stupid to remake a movie that's not even that old

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

I agree. Considering that it's not really even likely that this film really has a cult following either.....strange.

[Nighthawk 0]

It has a cult following of one person, myself. I think it was great, but I can't muster much interest in a remake.

Meh, hated it.

Is there a statute of limitations on how long a movie has to be out before it can be remade. I mean the original came out what 12 or 13 years ago.

WTF, not even 20 years old. This madness has got to stop already. What's next Halloween Ressurection remake? *shudders*

Man, I heard that they're remaking House of the Dead for a 2005 re-release.....

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

I've only seen Pet Sematary 2, starring Edward Furlong - entertaining, but not exactly good.

 

Speaking of remakes, the Gus Van Sant remake of Psycho was not needed.

 

Not needed at all.

 

It's funny the way that, when it's shot-by-shot a carbon copy of the original, it can suck so much more.

 

Mystery? I think not. That's what you get when you've got Hitchcock in the Director's chair, and the horror film that revolutionised the genre.

It's now official

 

The fountain has run dry in Hollywood

No one will be able to do the "Jud Crandall" role better then Fred Gwynne (Judge from My Cousin Vinny) anyways.

Yeah, Herman Munster had that down. He was the only simi watchable part of the movie.

I'm eagerly awaiting the "Passion of Christ" remake

[Guest Choken One]

Why can't Hollywood , if they REALLY want to do re-makes...just look at old movies...

 

I MEAN movies from the 50's...not movies from 1988.
