‘Pet Sematary’ Digs Up A New Release Date

The Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary has dug up a new release date. Over the last few months, we have learned a bit about the remake, including that two of the lead roles have been cast. Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) is set to play the main character Louis Creed, originally played by Dale Midkiff (interview). Celebrated actor John Lithgow will play Louis’ neighbor and friend Jud Crandall played by Fred Gwynne in the first film. The film was originally set to premiere on April 1, 2019, but the release has been slightly moved up to April 5, 2019. There is no word yet who else will star in the film. The key to the film’s success will be who is cast as Gage Creed. It’s going to be hard to beat the amazing and creepy role played by young Miko Hughes.

Pet Sematary Remake Casts John Lithgow

The Pet Sematary reboot has added another actor to its roster, John Lithgow. Lithgow has signed on to play the role of the kindly neighbor, Jud Crandall, the man who informs Louis Creed about the Pet Sematary. Jud was originally played by Fred Gwynne who passed away in 1993. John Lithgow has had so many roles but is probably most recognized for Footloose, Harry and the Hendersons, “3rd Rock from the Sun”, Cliffhanger, “The Crown”, Interstellar, and Daddy’s Home 2. The lead role of Louis Creed, first played by Dale Midkiff (interview) in the 1989 movie, will be played by Jason Clarke. The film, set to shoot this summer, is from Starry Eyes filmmakers Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch. Jeff Buhler wrote the script for the new version of one of Stephen King’s most popular tales. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, 1408), Mark Vahradian (Transformers), and Stephen Schneider (Insidious) are producing. Pet Sematary is set to open in theaters on April
