John Lithgow Returning For “Dexter” Revival

Fans of “Dexter” couldn’t have been more excited to learn that the killer of killers would be returning for a revival. As the premiere grows closer more cast members are being announced. Back in season 4, we were introduced to “The Trinity Killer” played by John Lithgow. While his character was killed that season, news has come that Lithgow is returning for the revival. You may be wondering how this is possible. Killers have often returned in the series in the form of flashbacks and in Dexter’s mind. We are assuming that’s what will happen, but the show has had major twists before so we can’t be certain. Lithgow received an Emmy for his portrayal of “The Trinity Killer” (aka Arthur Mitchell), the character who entered the series as a mentor and became one of Dexter Morgan’s biggest adversaries. Michael C. Hall is back as Dexter and is joined by Julia Jones (“The Mandalorian”), Alano Miller (Sylvie’s Love), Jack Alcott

New Image Finds John Lithgow In The ‘Pet Sematary’

A new batch of images and a new poster have surfaced from Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s new adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. In one of the images, we see John Lithgow‘s character Jud Crandall standing on the border of where the pet cemetery and the mysterious Native American burial ground meet. In the film, Louis Creed, his wife Rachel and their two children Gage and Ellie move to a rural home where they are welcomed and enlightened about the eerie ‘Pet Sematary’ located near their home. After the tragedy of their cat being killed by a truck, Louis resorts to burying it in the mysterious pet cemetery, which is definitely not as it seems, as it proves to the Creeds that sometimes, dead is better.

The First Pet Sematary Trailer Returns Us To Where “The Ground Is Sour”

When a remake of a beloved horror film is made, reactions will range from optimism to outright bitterness. Personally, I have grown to save all criticisms until I have “sampled the wares”, so to speak. With that in mind, today we horror fans get the first little taste of Paramount’s new adaptation/remake of Stephen King‘s classic novel, Pet Sematary. “Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer are at the helm of this new adaptation, which features Jason Clarke as Louis Creed, Amy Seimetz as Rachel Creed, John Lithgow as Jud Crandall, Jete Laurence as Ellie Creed and Hugo Lavoie as Gage Creed. Now, without further ado, take a gander at the trailer below. Are you intrigued? I know I am. And while there will definitely be more trailers in store to keep whetting our appetites, we still have to wait patiently (or maybe not so patiently) for the film to be released on April 5th, 2019 (just 16 days shy of exactly

First Images Arrive From The ‘Pet Sematary’ Remake

Directors Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch, the duo behind Starry Eyes, have teamed up for the remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. Judging by the first images shared by Entertainment Weekly, it may end up being a decent film. But until we do see some footage we’ll be wondering if “sometimes dead is better,” at least when it comes to classic horror films. This version stars Jason Clarke as Louis Creed, Amy Seimetz as Rachel Creed, Jete Laurence as Ellie Creed, and Hugo and Lucas Lavoie as Gage Creed. John Lithgow is playing the role of their neighbor Jud. Jeff Buhler wrote the script for the new version of one of Stephen King’s most popular tales. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, 1408), Mark Vahradian (Transformers), and Stephen Schneider (Insidious) are producing.

‘Pet Sematary’ Digs Up A New Release Date

The Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary has dug up a new release date. Over the last few months, we have learned a bit about the remake, including that two of the lead roles have been cast. Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) is set to play the main character Louis Creed, originally played by Dale Midkiff (interview). Celebrated actor John Lithgow will play Louis’ neighbor and friend Jud Crandall played by Fred Gwynne in the first film. The film was originally set to premiere on April 1, 2019, but the release has been slightly moved up to April 5, 2019. There is no word yet who else will star in the film. The key to the film’s success will be who is cast as Gage Creed. It’s going to be hard to beat the amazing and creepy role played by young Miko Hughes.
