First they plan to fuck up the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" remake by allegedly casting Billy Bob Thornton as Freddy Krueger. Now, the assholes over at MGM have given permission to remake the classic, 1982's "Poltergeist." The studio has hired Juliet Snowden and Stiles White to write a script. Those two wrote a shitty film named "Boogeyman." which starred 7th Heaven's Barry Watson. They are also currently looking for a director.
Steven Spielberg co-wrote the original script about "a suburban home built over an Indian burial ground and thus inhabited by a nasty spirit." The original starred Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Dominique Dunne and Heather O'Rourke. "Poltergeist" also spawned two sequels.
Why would you touch a film that had a reputation for being cursed! Heather and Dominique died after the film's release. Will Sampson, one of the stars of the sequel, performed an exorcism on the set to get rid of "alien spirits." He died a year after the sequel was released. I say leave it alone. i was watching "Poltergeist" the other day and the film still holds up. Instead of fucking up yet another classic, how about they dig into the old Hollyweird vaults and find a bad film for once to remake.
