Boogeyman was pretty decent, so not the worst news ever.

There should be a list of films Hollywood is not allowed to remake.This is one of them...bad fuckin' move

"Boogeyman was pretty decent, " what kind of shitty fucking crap movies do you people watch? oh wait...boogeyman..got it

Is there any reason you have to an asshole?

BOOGEYMAN sucked dogs dicks for quarters. Fell asleep in the theatre almost with its drivel ADD edits & lackluster title boogeyman. But..we'll see. Poltergeist is classic & well made.

This like sum 41 re-doing the White Album. This will suck.

boogeyman sucked and so does all the other pg-13 so called wanna be horror flix. they suck. horror should be bloody, gory, and fucking nasty scary shit. they aint doin it

They'll probably get that little queef from Hide And Seek to play Carol Anne.

Nerve-jangling sequels? Colon-jangling is more like it.

That's awful news!

Why don't they remake BLOOD HOOK? THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME? How about something that needs an update or could benefit from a remake??? Hollywood is a bunch of lazyass motherfuckers who need to start making some original shit. "let's remake Shaun of the Dead! The English accents might be hard for us to understand" *sarcasm* I PRAY TO GOD THE SUSPIRIA REMAKE GETS CANCELLEND.

"...starring Daeg Faerch as Carol Anne Freeling."

they better not get fucking Dakota Fanning to play the little girl! at least get somebody nobody knows. we all need to start boycotting this shit so Hollywood will get off their ass and do some originality. The only original stuff comes from Indie filmmakers and over seas.

I have to say I even like the idea of remaking this film as well. There are certain films I feel that could excel at being remade. Same as on the Childs play remake though please use very little CGI. That is what hurts most horror films they dont have the budget for great CGI and even when films have the budget it still looks off, and just takes you out of the film. Its as bad as being in the theater and getting into the film and then theres that jagoff who starts talking behind you. And why is it that the fucker who is always talking in the theater is right behind you?

Is steven speilberg going to produce this? Boogeyman was alright...Dakota sucks ass...Get that little girl from Little Miss Sunshine...she's better!...

yes! Abigal Breslin is awesome. she can actually act, too.

i can understand studios remaking TCM, Freddy and Jason and Michael cuz we all love those characters and wana see more of them, but why remake this? its classic and should be left alone.

AHHH! Remakes! I'm shitting myself with fanboy rage as I continue to UTTERLY FAIL to comprehend that remakes have been around since the earliest days of cinema, and will continue for as long as they make money. Man, if only businesses would do things purely to satisfy me, instead of doing them to make a profit! I mean, what the hell kind of greedy jerks actually want their movies to make money so badly that they would dare to tap an existing property with proven name value that's sitting around unused?!?!? What selfish douchebags! I think all remakes, sequels, homages, movies inspired by other movies and plays, movies adapted from novels and comic books, and any other film that isn't 100% wholly original in every sense of the word should be banned forever! That way, no movies would ever come out, and unnecessary remakes would stop coming along and wiping the classic originals from existence, creating a permanent barrier that keeps new generations of film lovers from ever seeing or enjoying those classics. And while I'm at it, fuck anyone under the age of 17 if he or she wants to see a scary movie in theaters! They can go fuck themselves, because it just isn't fair to us adults to have to wait for the DVD releases to see unrated, gorier versions of horror films! No movie can ever be scary without buckets of viscera and dozens of bare tits in every other scene. No movie that isn't at least rated R is worth a steaming pile of monkey shit, or deserves to be called a "horror movie". I mean, the original POLTERGEIST was PG, and look how un-scary it was... Oh, wait.

'bragging rights?' 'i told you so?'... whaat? Dude i think no-one really cares who said what first :/

Why can't hollywood start making new stuff? Leave the old stuff alone. Jeezus Christ...there's dozens upon dozens of comics that are great that could be adapted into movies...like for instance, Y The Last Man, I just read that and it was fucking fantastic...

Just once, I'd like to not hear something about a remake

that dude jk whateva the fuck up there needs to chill out. Damn dude. smoke sumtin

Boogeyman was shit on a stick! Also, how can you possibly do better than Speilberg. Seriously, the original was all sorts of Speilberg(they even say that Hooper and Speilberg swapped directing duties more than once during the shoot). And that was during a time Speilberg was still a rocking every movie he got his hands on! You can't do any better.

I agree with the second comment, there should be some kind of rule or law that prohibits a good film from being remade. It just breaks my heart to see cash-craving sons of bitches desecrate masterpieces. :(

Why oh why would you give this to the writers of Boogeyman? There was not one competent moment in the whole of the film. It was nonsensical, boring and lacked any real conclusion. From what I gather from Boogeyman this Poltergeist remake will start out slow, move onto incoherent and end with some really lame CGI that serves no other purpose but to distract from the fact that the resolution makes no real sense. If the people behind this decision had any common sense they'd, at the very least, not mention Boogeyman anywhere in the press release. This is the last thing that genre fans want to hear.

I think jkrouskop means F!@# anyone under the age of 18 not 17.

Wow...Boogeyman basically lost me after the first 30 minutes. I was actually bored enough to walk out of the theater if I hadn't been with my girlfriend at the time. Why in the hell would anyone think they were capable of something the caliber of Poltergeist?

macho555--they don't care as long as they get lots of $$$$$$$ from unsuspecting teenage moviegoers looking for a scare.

I hated Boogeyman so much, the bords is awesome, but i dnt no about this

I can't believe they are remaking Poltergeist.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!U GOTTA BE SHITTING ME!!!!!!!!!! I SAID it before and i will say it again, who in the right mind will they get to play carol anne??? there aint no child actor at the right age can play her. (maybe maybe abigal breslin tht someone else mentioned.....or maybe dakota fannings sister, but that is all). IF they would have thought bout it sooner ya dakota fannin would have fit the part......come on let the people who died rest in peace. that domineqe dunne chick who played robbies and carol annes sister died, the original "preacher" died, taylor died. come on tangena is like in her 70s-80s. heather o rourke died. (which is way to soon she would have been a kick ass actress.she is prob. rolling around in her grave)yyyy remake this classic?! i grew up watching these. this is a kick in the face. bring on "the curse of poltergiest" and i hope everyone or anyone who touches this film dies. im sorry to say. i dont want no stupid people who cant act there way out of a paper bag to be in this film.....i didnt care for boogeyman. great so this is going to be toned down again. boycot this film! i cant beleive that tobe hopeer and stephen spielberg are actually letting this happen!! bastards.... i highliy doubt that craig t nelson and jobeth williams would do a cameo. come on! its bad enough that they are redoing chucky, tcm i didnt mind., but nightmare on elm street is bull crap to me should never be done...crud ill see friday the thirteenth bc the stuff i seen and read on here i will see and tolerate. WHY CANT ANYONE COME UP WITH ANYTHING ORIGNIAL! y y y touch the classics!!?!??!?! there was nothing wrong with this movie! its a 10/10 for me! pisses me off...........i am really starting to get sick of this genre bc they are touching all of my fav. old school movies so that the stupid tweenys can go and see it. and say oooo that was scary if they get a lil jump in there seats.......and plus want ot try to rake in as much money as they can. thats all that it is about "show me the money" who cares if u piss on the hard core fans who loves the originals screw them! screw what they say! its money time!!!!!!morons

sorry had to put my 2 cents in

Boogeyman was terrible, this will be much worse. Remember that I was the one that told you it would be a lame pg-13 piece of shit so that I can "have bragging rights" when this sucks ass. This one will be loaded with corny cgi and is a lock to be miscast. The strength of the old one was that it was cast perfectly. Who could play carol anne and that old lady that looks like a hobbit? Nobody, those characters were to memorable to be played by someone else. I had to drive 20 minutes and sit in the shittiest theatre you can imagine to see the midnight meat train and I bet this piece of shit will be in 3000 theatres.

No sorry necessary horrorchick81. I appreciate your passion about this. Some of the younger generation are so soaked with shit that they make squishing sounds when they walk. If you re-released the original, half of em' would think it was a brand new film. This "if it didn't happen last week, it never happened" crowd that think like this is a pathetic bunch of cheese-baked dipshits. The same would apply to a lot of other classic horror films. People have no sense of history: Movies, World history, Culture. It's really sad how fucking dumb some folks are. Maybe things will change someday. "To her, it's simply another child, to us....it is the Beast"-----Poltergeist.

"A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. Some people believe that special effects are an end all to themselves. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing"-----George Lucas. Those in the movie biz should really think about this: Story, characters, drama, relationships, conflict, human elements. These things should be the highlight of a movie. The effects should just be the finishing touch to a film. You can put tasty frosting on a shit-cake, but in the end it's still SHIT!!!! "What are you growlin' at?"----Cujo.

Boogeyman wasnt AMAZING, but it was probably one of the closest to reminding me of Poltergeist. of course, Poltergeist was amazing thoug. there was soo much good stuff that freaked me out heavily as a kid. but still kept me loving it.

Ok, first no worries about Dakota Fanning getting cast for the role of Carol Ann because she is now 14 years old. The character is 6. Calling a child a little queef is a bit severe. Secondly, I agree that some classics would be great if remade properly. Rob Zombie did a great job with the Halloween remake. I hope the Friday the 13th remake is just as good. Now some of these remakes are just bad but I look forward to them. So far a few were successful. I am a little worried that the writer from that horrific flop Boogeyman is taking on this script, however, it won't stop me from spending the ten bucks to see it.

"Nobody makes Sheriff Buford T. Justice look like a 'possum's pecker"----Smokey & the Bandit.

The Halloween re-make? GOOD? Jesus H. Christ, what the hell is the world comin' to? Devil's Rejects was pretty good. RZ's Halloween sucked more than Megamaid's vaccuum !!!! Even porn legend Ginger Lynn would be impressed by the intense vaccu-suckage of that flick. "It's Megamaid, she's gone from suck to blow"----Spaceballs.

"I'm only afraid of what I can't see, & I can't see what he's staring at"----Man in the Wilderness.

you all have liddle dicks,thats what i think HAHAHAHAHHAHA Ehem..

My personal opinion on the poltergiest movie is, they should have made a very realistic film focusing on making a new poltergiest film but evil and supernatural things happen and keep the film from being made, after the mysterious deaths of all those surrounding the original 1,2,3 i think the story of that alone would make a spooky "poltergiest" film, reality based, mix in the real facts and interesting things from the movies and those who were apart of it, there could easily be some spooky ass shit, especially when dominique dunn was murdered to the poltergiest soundtrack that a friend blasted to dround out the sound of her & the boyfriend fighting, and also how they used real skeletons because they were cheaper than fakes, the indian guy from part 2 was blessing the set because of wierd shit, and julian beck's very very haunting portrayl in part 2 just shortly before his real death, and of course, poor little carol anne, who was taken to the other side, from a mysterious illness not known enough about in time to save her, and how she visited her mom in the hospital and said goodbye, after she was already dead...now that's some spooky ass shit, and wouldnt that make for a better fucking movie than just a predictable mediocre remake!?

eww i didnt know that a freind blasted the soundtrack to block off the noise now that is messed up and creepy.....also didnt know that they used real skeletons thanks for these tidbits....ya julian beck was creepy....i know that is sad how she died she was taken way to soon why are all the good ones taken away from us....didnt know that she visited her mom after she was already did man i need to watch the e! true hollywood story on this again.....ya actually that wouuld.....boycot this movie i say.

I concur with Protecious, The E-True Hollywood story about Poltergeist was a great one. I've got that one recorded along with the others about Jaws, The Exorcist, & the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Pretty good viewin'. The book "Crystal Lake memories" is a GREAT book. Got it at Books-A-Million a while back, hardcover too. Farewell & Adieu!!!! "You're gonna die in there, all of you, you're gonna DDDIIIEEEE"----Poltergeist II.

Hello there horrorchick81. You wanna meet at a cemetary on a cold moonlit night sometime? You're a sexy little banshee!!!! "Brenda, let me have them, I'm the one who loves you"----Return of the Living Dead II.

Wow some real hostility in here.

This movie the best scary movie ever made. I have seen it over 30 times, about 10 times with my girlfriend. We love it. Its scary as hell. When I was a kid i saw it first time, i shit my pants over a period of weeks and had nightmares. Now, this remake thing makes my sad, its not the right movie to be remade. its good as it is. They sould better make a 4 one. That would make sense, with a new story, new actors and so on. But let me tell you, Boogeyman was kind of shit. How can they give the rights to these people? I think they must make a scary movie, like "Paranormal Activity" or something like that. Dont know if it is the right titel ,but i mean this flick that is like Blairwitch. Give the rights to these guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Right now you're in charge of two things, Jack & shit, & Jack left town"-----Evil Dead III.

Boogeyman was terrible!!! Nobody can replace Heather O' Rourke, this is sad news to me. Poltergeist was a classic. Who else is getting tired of all these remakes?! What's next...remaking Dead Silence!!

What the FK is with all the re-makes of late??? No one has anything original to offer??? I'm all for super fk'n scary shit, but leave the classic stuff alone, pull yer head out of yer ass and give me something original for a change!

"I'm a teenage frankenstein, the local freak with the twisted mind"-----Alice Cooper.
