Death Is Better

Stephen King''s Pet Sematary is being adapted for the big screen...again says The Hollywood Reporter.

King's 1983 novel follows a family who move to a small Maine town along a highway often used by high-speed trucks. Nearby lies a pet cemetery and further beyond that an ancient indian burial ground which can resurrect the dead, but those who come back aren't quite right.

When the toddler son is killed in an auto accident, the grieving father uses that power - but at the cost of several lives and his own sanity.

Matthew Greenberg,who adapted King's short story 1408 in'07 returns to pen the Semetary update replacing the previously announced writing duo of Mike Werb and Michael Colleary.

Previously adapted on the screen in 1989 starring Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby and Fred Gwynne- directed by Mary Lambert with mixed results..
