PROJECT DETAILS
- Despite previous reports that the film is aiming for a PG-13 rating, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura says that's unlikely, though hasn't exactly ruled it out either. Writer Matt Greenberg is currently working on the script and is reportedly going to "try some new things in the first couple drafts and see how it plays."
- The latest scribe to tackle the script is Matthew Greenberg, who also adpated King's 1408 for the big screen.
- Scripter David Kajganich (Blood Creek, Invasion) was quoted saying he turned in an early draft of the script during a time where the studio was going through a regime change, and a new executive wanted the project to appeal to a younger audience (for instance, we'd see a teenaged Ellie as the main character). David couldn't stand behind that idea, so got out of his contract and left the project.
- Alphaville Films was originally set to produce.
- Paramount Pictures, who put out the original film, are also putting this out.
- At one point George Clooney was rumored to be considered as the lead.
- Mike Werb and Michael Colleary (Face/Off duo) were originally scripting this.
- Although it was announced (and follows the spelling in the book and previous film) as Pet Sematary, the correct spelling would be Pet Cemetery.
- Stephen King wrote the screenplay for the original film.
- In development since the early start of the new century.
- Based on the Stephen King story and a remake of the 1989 movie.

Anyone know where the actual filming took place? (eg. address) I been livin up in Bangor for goin on bout 6 months now and I cant find a damn thing, Which is weird when you think on it enough. I just wanna see it for myself if its an actual place. (I know its all ficticiouse and what not but wouldnt you wanna check it out?) Any info would be wicked helpful
it isn't weird that there aren't a ton of pet cemeteries in maine. it's weird that you're searching for one. has one of your pets died recently?
Why do people say "it will mess up the original"? If the new version is crap the old one is still available to enjoy.......
First things first the only reason why pet sematary was so good the
first time. Was because stephen king wrote the movie that's the only
reason having somebody else do it is like killing christ himself
I mean who has a mind like the king nobody their just gonna kill this
like they did to Texas chainsaw massacre, Amittyville Horror , Friday
the 13th And Nightmare on elmstreet please please please don't tear
apart this Horror masterpiece For everyones sake.
I absolutley LOVED the original and it scared the SHIT outta me! please please please dont make this a bad movie. id probably kill my child and bury him in an ancient burial ground! what could possibly go wrong?
For all you complaining about the PG-13 rating its ok if any of you saw AMC's The Walking Dead its rated pg-13 and it was awesome it diffenly pushed the 13 rating so if this goes like that then its all good
Agreed. The first episode was fantastic, great effects.
The orginal movie didn't do the book justice
i love this movie thay better remake it word for word and some cast and if thay cant then dont tuch it mother fucker
Ok, I am reading the book right now and I am scared out of my mind. If anybody wants to do a remake of the film, let it follow through with the book. The original film, I can not even watch it by my self. That is how much of a p*&^^ I am. Just make the setting a little different and really get in depth with the burial ground. Really know the truth of PET SEMATARY! >)
this is bullshit
A younger audience = PG-13 which means waterdown, cgi horror for the Twilight generation.
I thought the whole fun of R movies was to watch them when you were a TEENAGER! HELL! Every R movie I saw, was then I was a in my teens! Look at all the great R movies. The majority of people watching them WERE teens. I don't know HOW young these dip-shit suits what the audience to be. Maybe some time soon, Dreamworks will be making CGI horror: Kung-Fu Panda Meets HELLRAISER I rather re-read the book than watch a rehash.
Shit! Hollywood is just clueless.
dude! i keep thinking the same thing! when i was a kid, i would have HATED "Twilight" because it wasnt a horror movie... if you want to produce a flick that will bring in the TWEEN bucks, go make "11 Things I Hate About You."
i dont know how mixing vampires and 7th grade teen flicks worked for "Twilight" - but when you make "youth targeted horror movies" for the people that liked that garbage, all it does is make people that liked "Twilight" go "ew, that sounds too scary, i dont like scary stuff" and makes horror fans go "ew, that sounds like Twilight...gay."
i just put a fist through my TV after watching "Howling: Reborn." i really dont want that to happen to "Pet Semetary"
I totally agree except all of the good horror movies I have watched came out before I was a teenager. I don't think I've seen a good horror movie since 2002 maybe and I was 12 then but I still knew what a good horror movie was. There are hardly any horror movies that come out that even scare me! I feel I go to the theater just to sit there and laugh through the whole film now. It's a joke. Horror movies should appeal to college students and people older than that. Not teenagers. Stop making movies aimed at trying to scare 14 year olds because it isn't working. Even little kids think the horror movies coming out these days are lame. So yeah no more watered down crap. We want gore, blood, amazing and creative murders and killers, the works! Stop playing it safe!
i really dnt see the need in remaking pet sematary the first was good in my oppion their just gonna mess it up like they did the children of the corn remake if any stephen king movie that should be remade it should be the stand cause that movie was horrible
"...and a new executive wanted the project to appeal to a younger audience (for instance, we'd see a teenaged Ellie as the main character). "
Why do these "execs" want a horror movie to appeal to a younger crowd? The younger crowd has plenty of films made for them. Say goodbye to the creepiness of the original.
The original movie was creepy, the book was scary as shit! I worship Stephen King and the only way I would watch this is if he were involved in the script-writing, and total production of the film. At the very least have final say in the process.
This film should not be remade.
This was a class 1 film and will only be ruined by a remake.
Hollywood is gonna shit all over this remake.
yeah,they gonna ruin all the movie with this damn remake
Just 1 question: are they going to use The Ramones Pet Sematary song? The Ramones make EVERYTHING better
The riginal one scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. That was one of the last great scary movies of the 80's. I don't know if they should do a remake. The sequel sucked major ass. They should pick it up 20 years later, but have a greedy cooperation try to build on the land or something. Otherwise, I'm just so tired of all these rehash movies Hollywood is vomiting out.
I watched the original when I was little and it stuck I was terrified of this movie for so long and still get the creeps Hopefully if they do this they do it right and give me the creeps all over again. It was a great movie then and hopefully they make it just as great again
