Greenberg helps bring back Pet Sematary

Stephen King’s Pet Sematary is getting the reboot treatment as Matthew Greenberg jumps on the project to pen the modernized version of the horror tale, says THR. The 1989 film is fairly popular with a nice portion of the horror crowd that ate up a lot of the Stephen King novel turned films that appeared throughout the eighties. Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing the feature under Di Bonaventura Pictures along with Steven Schneider.

After moving into their new home the Creed family’s cat is killed after wondering onto the highway. Jud an elderly neighbor shows Louis, the father, to an isolated hill behind the local Pet Cemetery and instructs him to bury the deceased feline there. Not long after the cat reappears at the Creed home, only he is not the same. The docile cat is now vicious and destructive. When their youngest son meets with a fatal accident, the distraught Louis buries him in the same location hoping to revive him. Unfortunately he unleashes far more than he had bargained for. No word yet on who will direct the Paramount Pictures film. Greenberg’s previous written credits include 1408 and Reign of Fire.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
