Paramount is actively trying to sign the Hills Have Eyes and Piranha 3D director to reanimate Stephen King‘s classic. It seems like a perfect marriage of talent and material. Should the deal work out, horror fans will have the rare pleasure of looking forward to an unnecessary remake knowing that Aja will bring something original and creepy to the film. So here’s hoping that a brand new generation have the opportunity to be mentally-scarred by Pet Sematary. (Twitch)

^{Here lies Warts.}

Paramount is eager to dig up the remains of the Pet Sematary franchise. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has picked up the cautionary tale about the dangers of Indian burial grounds with 1408‘s Matthe Greenberg taking over scripting duties from Mike Werb and Michael Colleary.

The film, based on Stephen King‘s novel, tells the story of a family from the city who moves to ideallic Maine. They soon discover a cursed pet cemetary that resurrects household pets as demons. Things take a hellish turn when they bury their murdered toddler on the plot. Is it even legal to bury your dead on your own? Aren’t there laws?? Please forward all research to me for reasons that are none of your concern. (THR)
