New ‘Pet Sematary’ Trailer Reminds Us That Sometimes “Dead Is Better”

The second trailer for Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s new Pet Sematary adaptation is here. Not only does it reveal the history of the burial ground, but it reminds us that “sometimes dead is better.” The trailer also teases that this adaptation is very different from the original. Judging by the footage, this time it’s Louis’ daughter Ellie at the center of the story, not his young son Gage. The film follows “Dr. Louis Creed, who after relocating with his family from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground deep in the woods behind the family’s home. When tragedy strike, Louis turns to his unusual neighbor Jud, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.” Twins Hugo and Lucas Lavoie star as Gage Creed in the new adaptation that also stars Jeté Laurence as young Ellie Creed. Jason Clarke (Winchester) and Amy Seimetz (Alien: Covenant) star as Louis and Rachel Creed, with

New ‘Pet Sematary’ TV Spot

The brand new TV Spot for Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch‘s Pet Sematary declares that “sometimes dead is better”. The TV spot also introduces us to the new Zelda, played by Alyssa Brooke Levine and it may make you sleep with the lights on tonight. Zelda is one of the most disturbing characters ever created. In the original 1989 movie, the sister of Racheal Creed was skeletal, her body twisted from years of suffering from Spinal Meningitis. The first look at Levine in action looks just as creepy. Twins Hugo and Lucas Lavoie star as Gage Creed in the new adaptation that also stars Jeté Laurence as young Ellie Creed. Jason Clarke (Winchester) and Amy Seimetz (Alien: Covenant) star as Louis and Rachel Creed, with John Lithgow as Jud Crandall and Obssa Ahmed playing the role of Victor Pascow. “Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed, who after relocating with his family from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial

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. Jason Clarke stars as Louis Creed, Amy Seimetz as Rachel Creed, John Lithgow as Jud Crandall, Jete Laurence as Ellie Creed, and Hugo Lavoie as Gage Creed. Pet Sematary will open on April

‘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.
