Lightbulb It's Baaaack: 'Poltergeist' Remake Haunts Writers

[source]

To heck with the "Poltergeist" Curse, MGM has hired a pair of writers to tackle its planned remake of the supernatural classic.

According to the industry trade papers, MGM has attached Juliet Snowden and Stiles White to the new "Poltergeist." The two writers have some experience with things that go bump in the night, having previously written the horror hit "Boogeyman."

The 1982 original was a blockbuster for MGM/UA. Directed by Tobe Hooper with a rumored assist from producer/co-writer Steven Spielberg, "Poltergeist" told the story of a family that moves into their dream suburban neighborhood only to find that their house is occupied by a pesky, frequently malevolent spirit.

The film spawned two theatrical sequels, but also reputation for a curse, after four cast members died in the six years between the release of the first film and the release of the third, including young stars Dominique Dunne and Heather O'Rourke.

Snowden and White are probably unconcerned. Their upcoming writing credits include the Nic Cage thriller "Knowing." They also took a stab at Universal's remake of "The Birds."



so... do they really need to make a remake of every fucking movie on the planet?

maybe the curse will work and they won't ever finish it.

Oh you'd be surprised. I once saw a page, and really wish I remembered where, that was a list of planned remakes and was it ever lengthy.

Even old shit like Burt Reynolds' Sharky's Machine was on the list.
Leaving no stone un-remade.

let us also pretend we didn't even read that last sentence (They also took a stab at Universal's remake of "The Birds.").
