New ‘Pet Sematary’ TV Spot

The brand new TV Spot for Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s Pet Sematary declares that “sometimes dead is better”. The TV spot also introduces us to the new Zelda, played by Alyssa Brooke Levine and it may make you sleep with the lights on tonight. Zelda is one of the most disturbing characters ever created. In the original 1989 movie, the sister of Racheal Creed was skeletal, her body twisted from years of suffering from Spinal Meningitis. The first look at Levine in action looks just as creepy. Twins Hugo and Lucas Lavoie star as Gage Creed in the new adaptation that also stars Jeté Laurence as young Ellie Creed. Jason Clarke (Winchester) and Amy Seimetz (Alien: Covenant) star as Louis and Rachel Creed, with John Lithgow as Jud Crandall and Obssa Ahmed playing the role of Victor Pascow. “Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed, who after relocating with his family from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial

New Image Finds John Lithgow In The ‘Pet Sematary’

A new batch of images and a new poster have surfaced from Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s new adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. In one of the images, we see John Lithgow‘s character Jud Crandall standing on the border of where the pet cemetery and the mysterious Native American burial ground meet. In the film, Louis Creed, his wife Rachel and their two children Gage and Ellie move to a rural home where they are welcomed and enlightened about the eerie ‘Pet Sematary’ located near their home. After the tragedy of their cat being killed by a truck, Louis resorts to burying it in the mysterious pet cemetery, which is definitely not as it seems, as it proves to the Creeds that sometimes, dead is better. Jason Clarke stars as Louis Creed, Amy Seimetz as Rachel Creed, John Lithgow as Jud Crandall, Jete Laurence as Ellie Creed, and Hugo Lavoie as Gage Creed. Pet Sematary will open on April

First Images Arrive From The ‘Pet Sematary’ Remake

Directors Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch, the duo behind Starry Eyes, have teamed up for the remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. Judging by the first images shared by Entertainment Weekly, it may end up being a decent film. But until we do see some footage we’ll be wondering if “sometimes dead is better,” at least when it comes to classic horror films. This version stars Jason Clarke as Louis Creed, Amy Seimetz as Rachel Creed, Jete Laurence as Ellie Creed, and Hugo and Lucas Lavoie as Gage Creed. John Lithgow is playing the role of their neighbor Jud. 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. One of the things about doing a new version now is our understanding of life and death has progressed,” producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said. “But are we more sophisticated about

‘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.

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.

The writing/directing duo of Kevin Kolsh and Dennis Widmyer, the team behind Starry Eyes, will be directing from the script penned by Jeff Buhler and David Kajgnich. The cast has yet to be announced, but Dale Midkiff, who played the lead in the original seemed optimistic during our interview last week that the remake might be good after asking his opinion. Maybe it’ll be good, you never know.” The story, first published in 1983, centers on Louis Creed and his wife Rachel who have just moved with their two children into a home near a busy road. Soon they learn of a Pet Sematary near their property, where legend has it that animals buried there come back to life. When his daughter’s cat
