The powers that be over at Paramount have contacted writer/director Alex Aja about the long spoken-of
Pet Sematary remake.
Twitch writes that Paramount is in talks with Alex Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, High Tension, Piranha 3D) about their long-gestured Pet Sematary,
the remake of the Stephen King adaptation from 1989. We've checked
with our own sources close to the project for additional word. We'll
update as soon as it arrives.
The project resurfaced in February with word that producers Lorenzo di
Bonaventura and Steven Schneider were armed with a script by Matt
Greenberg (1408, Reign of Fire).
Published in 1983, King's creeper tale centered on a family that trades
the city life for the country life in Maine, then discovers that they
have moved near a pet cemetery that rests on an ancient burial ground.
When the husband's toddler son is killed in an auto accident, the father
takes the boy's body to the cemetery, where it is resurrected in
demonic form.
Thanks to
Bloody-Disgusting for the story.
