What We Know So Far
[metaslider id=”174″]Details about the Pet Sematary remake have slowly been released, but with officially began production in June, we hopefully won’t have to wait long. Starring Jason Clarke as Louis Creed, a doctor from Chicago, who moves his young family to the small town of Ludlow, Maine. However, there is a quiet darkness to this seemingly tranquil town. Situated next to the Creed’s new home is a busy roadway that has claimed many of the towns pets.
The Creed’s neighbor Jud Crandall, played by John Lithgow, leads them to a make shift pet cemetery in the woods. Despite warnings from Jud, and Louis’s own nightmares, he eventually discovers the dark powers of the land. Amy Seimetz (Stranger Things and Alien: Covenant) is set to take on the role of Rachel, Louis’ wife. Even though many of the main characters have been cast it is still unknown who will play the role of Victor Pascow; a ghostly figure who haunts Louis, originally played by actor Brad Greenquist. There is still no word if the unfortunate ghost will be it in the remake.
Rumors of a remake have swirled for years, but with the success of last year’s “It”, Pet Sematary was put on the fast track. The original brought in $57 million with an $11 million budget, and even led to a less successful sequel. Now that production has officially begun, hopefully first looks will be released sometime early 2019. AS of now the movie is slated to be released in theaters in April of 2019. The generation that grew up scared by the tales of Stephen King looks to reimagine his stories. We can hope that the Pet Sematary remake will bring new life (and death) to the Stephen King Renaissance.
