Poltergeist remake Aug. 19, 2008
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
by: Omar Aviles

POLTERGEIST MGM has set BOOGEYMAN writers Juliet Snowden and Stiles White to pen their upcoming POLTERGEIST remake. They have a hell of a job ahead of them considering the original was co-written by Steven Spielberg under direction by cult horror icon Tobe Hooper. In the 1982 original, a family moves into a house built over an Indian burial ground and becomes terrorized by an army of scary ass mutha 'uckin' (that's not a typo) ghosts. The duo has a little experience in the horror genre since in addition to BOOGEYMAN, they also scripted the upcoming Nicolas Cage starring KNOWING and have been contracted to write Platinum Dunes' upcoming THE BIRDS remake. Yipes, these guys aren't dicking around with the writing of remakes of classic horror films.

Extra Tidbit: Stephen King was briefly approached to write the original POLTERGEIST.

at this rate there will be absolutely no classic definitive horror movies for my generation because they're all either pointless remakes or torture porn.

Within the next 10 years I'm sure we'll see remakes of Rocky, The Godfather, Scarface, Taxi Driver, etc, etc, etc. They won't stop until literallye very single classic or just every great film has been remade.

Remakes only work if there was something wrong or could be improved on the original and this is not the case with Poltergiest. It was slick, well executed, creepy as hell, genuinely scary and a modern masterpiece. If they insist on remaking this then the only thing they should do is completely change the story, characters, basically everything. This is just another pile of shit to add to the ever growing shit stack of remake/reboot/retread/re-imagining/re-di
sasters currently cueing up to make a mockery of the original material for a cheap smash and grab at the box office. These writers should know better, they should know that they can't mess with shit like this I mean Jesus, don't they listen to the fans??
