Did they bury the last script to get this revival off the ground? Matthew Greenberg - who did a solid job adapting 1408 - will be penning yet another Stephen King adaptation, this time a remake of the 1989 chiller Pet Sematary (I can't wait to see how many people spell this wrong). 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. Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity and James Wan's forthcoming Insidious) is producing. Greenberg also penned Halloween: H20, Mimic, and the "Masters of Horror" episode The Fair Haired Child.[Flash: tMja9C6Htts&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999]

Looking forward to it. Not much of a fan of the original.

I liked the first one, i didnt really care to much for part 2. Not saying part 2 was bad, it just didnt reach out at me like the first one did.

I LOVED the original, in fact, it's one of the best King adaptations if you ask me. The only way they can make this one better would be to make it even closer to the book (original did it very well to begin with). Sequel was also good, WAAAY underrated for no good reason
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ

I might give the original one a watch again... I'm basing my opinions on what I thought of it 5 years ago or more.
