We have been hearing about these awful rumors this past year about the classic Steven Spielberg and Toby Hooper horror film Poltergeist getting a remake. If there is any movie that has no reason what-so-ever being remade it is poltergeist! This movie is a classic film that tells the story of a suburban home built over an Indian burial ground and thus inhabited by some evil ass ghosts, and I believe this incredible ghost story has stood the test of time. The fact that this film got away with a PG-13 is incredible because of of scary it is. I recently bought the movie on Blu ray, and it’s bloody brilliant. No one can re-create that or make a better film, so why even try? According to STYD:
MGM’s planned remake of Tobe Hooper’s classic ’80s haunted house movie Poltergeist has received a release date of November 24, 2010, Thanksgiving weekend. With director Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog) attached since last September, the production has been in development a long time with a script surfacing last year, but so far, no cast has been announced and no information about where or when they might start filming.
So yeah, it official, someone thinks they can make a better Poltergeist film, which is just ridiculous. I really wish this remake project would have just faded away into the Hollywood abyss, but it didn’t. Come November 24, 2010 a new Poltergeist film will be introduced to the world, what do ya think of that?
If for some reason you’ve been deprived and have not seen this movie yet, go watch it right now!
Is nothing sacred? Honestly.
how can u make perfection any better, this movie still makes me jump, has done everytime ive ever seen it. Has hollywood lost the plot completely, or are they that desperate since nothing new seems to be coming out
what makes it scary is that several of the cast have died after filming this movie
actually, the original movie got away with a PG rating since the PG-13 hadn't been invented yet.
I can't believe that! This is one of the stupidest things I have heard recently!! I just bought it on DVD and this movie still creeped me out….No reason to remake at all!! I won't go see it that's for sure!
they don't honestly think they can make one better. but they know all they have to do is remake it and and they get a great return on their investment. look at g.i.joe or any of the other shit promoted on here as worthy to see, but at the same time complaining about the obviously poor choices. of course they're going to make a worse one. just like the texas chainsaw remake, and the friday the 13th one, and for fuck's sake, they're making a t.j. hooker movie. people only watched that show because captain kirk and heather locklear was on it. not because it was this great cop show worthy of a movie. what's next? cagney n' lacey:the movie? and people will go watch it any way!
