A Review Of The Script Written For The POLTERGEIST Remake (But May Not Be The Script They Actually Use) Is Now Online!!


Merrick here...

High on the list of movies NOT in need of remake is POLTERGEIST. Accordingly, MGM is forging ahead with their reworking of the film.

Towards this end, scripters Juliet Snowden and Stiles White (BOOGEYMAN) submitted a draft which MGM claims will not be the "version" used to make the movie.

Whether or not this ends up being close to what we see on screen, it's an interesting glimpse into the project's state of development (at one point in time, at least).

Latino Review has a review of the Snowden/White adaptation of POLTERGEIST. It originates HERE, or can be viewed via the embed below!
