Poltergeist Remake Put On HoldBy Eric Eisenberg: 2009-10-16 08:10:34
While each year there is a collection of new and original dramas and comedies that audience's globally can enjoy, it is becoming increasingly obvious that Hollywood has no idea how to scare us anymore. There are perhaps one or two quality horror films each year (Drag Me To Hell and Trick 'r Treat being this year's nominees), while the rest of the year is cluttered by torture porn and remakes. Michael Bay's production company, Platinum Dunes, alone has pumped out five horror remakes in the past six years, the sixth coming next year with A Nightmare Before Elm Street. It is because of this that I get a sick joy out of watching remakes get delayed or canceled. Earlier this year it was Martin Campbell's The Birds (a travesty in its own right) and now, according to Bloody Disgusting, Vadim Perelman's Poltergeist is TBD.While the film was originally slated for a late November release next year, MGM has confirmed that production has been delayed to until 2010, meaning that the film will not get released until 2011 (or possibly later depending how many die as a result of the Poltergeist curse). The original Tobe Hooper classic is single-handedly responsible for my irrational fear of clowns and I love it for that. I will agree that the idea of the film being put into the hands of the writers behind Boogeyman is scary, just the wrong type of scary.
