Matthew Greenberg digs up the cat's grave
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently boarded as producer on the long-gestating project, which is set up at Paramount.
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.
Paramount brought the book to life in 1989, with a feature version adapted by King that starred Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby and Fred Gwynne.
The new project at one point was being produced by Alphaville, working with a screenplay by Mike Werb and Michael Colleary, and had George Clooney circling.
No production date has been meowed. I mean set.
Pet Sematary was released April 21st, 1989 and stars Dale Midkiff, Fred Gwynne, Denise Crosby, Brad Greenquist, Michael Lombard, Miko Hughes, Blaze Berdahl, Susan Blommaert. The film is directed by Mary Lambert.

"no brain, no pain--- think about it."

yah, I remember part two. It was a lot worse, come to think of it the second film should be redone not the first.

And why do we need this... Hollywood acts like it's out of fresh ideas, but there is still a lot of untapped talent out there.

I'd like to see where they go with a fresh adaptation...but honestly...I don't think anything will touch the camp of the original!
