Back in early 2004 it was rumored that George Clooney would play Doc Cage in a remake of Pet Sematary, and now Bloody-Disgusting says it is indeed happening.

That same year, news was released that Paramount Pictures had hired horror specialist Dave Kajganich to write the Alphaville project. The Face/Off scripting team of Mike Werb and Michael Colleary wrote the first draft.

Pet Sematary is based on Stephen King's story of a family moving to a small Maine town with a pet cemetery and an Indian burial ground.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

If this is true, why would he want to play in something like this?

 

[Spidey Rules 2]

I really hope it's not a remake of the first movie. I liked that one. Maybe a different story involving the Pet Semetary would be good.

 

[Mr. Credible]

awesome... if there's any genre of movies that i don't mind being remade, it's horror movies. hopefully they keep that achille's tendon slashing scene... that always made me cringe.

 

[Spidey Rules 2]

Cage: Daddy, I got a surprise for youuuuuuuuuu. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Cage: No fair (falls to the ground)

Those were my favorite lines. The scariest part for me was not the dead people, but that lady's sick sister. That one freaked me out.

I love the first one, I felt so sad at the end.

ugh... i'd completely forgot about her.

i think it was like, a repressed memory or something, she used to scare the bejesus of me.

Don't be remakin' your movie in that thar pet cemetary. Because what you put in, ain't what comes out.

 

[Gamma Ray]

Sematary?

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Clooney sure does still make interesting movie choices if this is true. He seems like one of the few actors that is willing to be in anything.

And the director for this film will be joel shoemucker.

 

[Dr.Dude]

I always thought the original Pet Sematary was one of the few genuinely great Stephen King movies.... I guess we'll see if this new one lives up to it.

I was talking about his open mind about his work.

[Lex Luthor]

I agree.

It's one of those movies where I cant see how it can be improved upon. But in this day and age, it doesnt surprise me that it's being remade.

Sematary?

Misspelled because the sign was made by a bunch of kids

Matt Greenberg, who co-wrote the Stephen King adaptation 1408, is is taking an updated version of King's "Pet Sematary." Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Steven Schneider are producing the film at Paramount.

The following is how the 1983 book is described:

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 sinister properties Louis discovers when the family cat is killed.

Paramount brought the book to life in 1989, with a feature version adapted by King that starred Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby and Fred Gwynne.
