Pet Cemetery gets a director
After the announcement back in February that Paramount were looking to remake Pet Cemetery, the project now looks like it may have a director.
French director Alexandre Aja, who directed Switchblade Romance, is in talks with studio to bring the creed family back in a reboot of Stephen King’s horror classic.
It looks as though Aja is getting quite accustomed with Hollywood horror remakes after his revamped versions of films such as The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha.
Pet Cemetery, which was originally directed by Mary Lambert and was based on King’s own screenplay back in 1989, sees the Creed family move to a new home which just happens to be next to an ancient Native American burial ground that can bring the dead back to life, and in the classic Stephen King way whatever comes back to life becomes a murdering replica of what was originally buried.
Aja hasn’t officially signed on the dotted on line as of yet, but the reboot of the film has a screenplay written by Matthew Greenberg and is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Steven Schneider.
So watch this space to see whether Aja will be signing up for another classic horror remake
