First, “The Dark Tower” with Ron Howard, next here comes, “The Stand”, and now here comes the “Pet Sematary” re-boot!!! There is quite a lot of Stephen King movies on the way to the big screen! The “Pet Sematary” re-boot will be written by “1408” writer, Matthew Greenberg.

The story revolves around the Creed family moving to a new home. When just settling in their new home, their son is killed. An old cemetery was found, it was said that when you bury the dead in that cemetery, they come back to life. Louis Creed, the main character, takes his dead son to the cemetery to bring him back to life. When his son did come back to life, he ended up being evil. The original film starred, Dale Midkiff, Fred Gwyne and Denise Crosby.

Hmmmm, sounds like a perfect project for Rob Zombie! Imagine what Rob Zombie could do to it? He could make a gruesome and disturbing version.

So you ask, what’s with all the Stephen King movies being greenlighted lately? Well for one, he’s the most famous author in the world. He’s an icon. Hollywood wants to do films on everyone one of his books as they possibly can. Plus, Stephen writes his books as if they were a movie. I’m also sure that Stephen had a hand in getting these movies greenlighted. He would want Hollywood to do movies on all of his books. Stephen wrote screenplays for most of his own movies as well.

I’m such a huge Stephen King fan. I’m obsessed with his writing. I’ve been reading his books ever since I was a kid in high school. Collected all of them. I still buy his new books every time he comes out with a new one. I just got his new short story collection, “Full Dark, No Stars” which I will read soon. I’m reading the Harry Potter series right now. Stephen King is my favorite author, die hard fan.
