First Photos and Poster For PET SEMATARY Prequel Film PET SEMATARY: BLOODLINES
Paramnount+ has released a collection of first-look photos and a poster for its upcoming Pet Sematary prequel film Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. The film will tell an untold chapter of Stephen King’s terrifying novel.
The story is set In 1969, and it centers on a young Jud Crandall who “has dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine behind, but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within and is forced to confront a dark family history that will forever keep him connected to Ludlow. Banding together, Jud and his childhood friends must fight an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding, and once unearthed has the power to destroy everything in its path.”
I’ve always been interested in Jud’s backstory, so I’m excited to see that story told in this movie. The Pet Semetary lore is fascinating and there are a lot of prequel stories to tell, but I like that they are telling this one. If it does well and people tune in to watch, maybe we’ll get more stories.
Pet Sematary: Bloodlines stars Jackson White (Tell Me Lies, Mrs. Fletcher) Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant), Jack Mulhern (The Boys in the Boat, Mare of Easttown), Henry Thomas (The Fall of the House of Usher, Gerald’s Game), Natalie Alyn Lind (The Goldbergs, The Gifted) and Isabella Star LaBlanc (True Detective: Night Country), with Pam Grier (Cinnamon, Jackie Brown) and David Duchovny (The X-Files).
The film is directed by Lindsey Anderson Beer, in her directorial debut, with a script written by Beer and Jeff Buhler, and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
Pet Sematary: Bloodlines will premiere Friday, October 6th, exclusively on Paramount+.
