"Sometimes dead is better!"
Regardless whether you feel that is true or not this remake is going to happen. If you remember way back in February talks first began to emerge regarding the Pet Sematary remake. Producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Steven Schneider armed themselves with a script written by Matt Greenberg (1408, Reign Of Fire) and the search for a high caliber director quickly ensued.
According to Twitch Film.com
Paramount is all 'gung ho' in trying to gn the French film director Alexandre Aja (HighTenon, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) to pilot this project which is based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.
Aja clearly has the credentials to bring this film to life once again, but is this one of those films that the studio should just leave alone? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Plot Synops: "The road in front of Dr. Louis Creed's rural Maine home frequently claims the lives of neighborhood pets. Louis has recently moved from Chicago to Ludlow with his wife Rachel, their children and pet cat. Near their house, local children have created a cemetery for the dogs and cats killed by the steady stream of transports on the busy highway. Deeper in the woods lies another graveyard, an ancient Indian burial ground whose nister properties Louis discovers when the family cat is killed."
The remake of 'Pet Sematary' is currently listed as a 2013 release for Paramount, so if things get moving with Aja, the timing should work out well.
