Hollywood's horror-movie remake train just keeps chugging along.
According to Variety, MGM has tapped scary scribes Stiles White and Juliet Snowden (
Boogeyman) to write its remake of
Poltergeist. No director has been named for the project.
The original flick, which was released in 1982 and spawned two sequels, was based on a script by
Steven Spielberg, directed by
Tobe Hooper and starred
JoBeth Williams and
Craig T. Nelson.
White and Snowden know the horror remake genre well, having recently penned Universal's
The Birds redo. The duo also cowrote the upcoming Nicolas Cage starrer
Knowing. -
