Deadline reported today that
Rosemarie DeWitt will be starring in the upcoming remake of
Tobe Hooper‘s 1982 film
Poltergeist. Although I’m still against the creation of this film, I think DeWitt is a good choice for the role of the mother, originally played by
Jobeth Williams.
Sam Raimi is also tapped to produce, so who knows, maybe it won’t be all that bad.
Gil Kenan (Monster House) is set to direct, and the film is slated to hit theaters sometime next year.
