I havent even seen the first one. So if this is anything to go by it should be a 10/10

hahaahah they actually gave you credit in the article, amazing. Clint over at moviehole must be beside him self since he talked about those big trades never giving credit to the internet sites who break the news first, they must finally get the picture. i always liked THR better then Variety anyways

Well he has potential! If there´s a good director(mostly arthouse or artistic) then the movie might as well be good if not great but if they get a crappy music video director and try to turn this into a cheap teenypooper MTV flick then this could be horrible. I really like the original, it´s a great horror movie and always manages to scare me and capture with it´s amazing atmosphere but it has not aged very well especially the ending. This is a 50/50, I´ll stay tuned. House of Sand and Fog was good by the way!

u gotta be shittig me......like i said NOOO NEED TO REMAKE THIS. i hope everyone dies on this set. well going to be toned down for the stupid tweenies......i guess the peitition didnt work. who in the right mind will play tangena, steven, robbie, carolann, diane, (robbies and carolannes sister i cant think of her name). i hope everyone dies on that set! poltgeriest curse!@ this is bull shit. talk bout disrespectint tobe hopper, and stephen spielberg a shot in the mouth. idiots.......

billbeast u never seen the first one?!?! uhhh how old are you?????? do u even like scasry movies?!? this is a classic the stupid assr remake wont ever live up to the original.

Im so fucking depressed now, again, after reading this . Still can't believe this perfect,classic , timeless horror is being remade. Another sad day for Horror fans everywhere. MGM, hang your head in shame!!!

I think the writers, confirmed director, producers and everyone involved with this remake, reboot,reimagining whatever the fuck they want to call it are brainless idiots!! I'm pretty sure between them all they do not have not one iota of talent on par with SPEILBERG, TOBE HOOPER, THE ENTIRE CAST, JERRRY GOLDSMITH (for his fantastic score), ILM(for the great effects) I could go on and on and on....

Horrorchick81, how about you just not go see this movie? I'm tired of your insufferable bitching.

wasnt plannin on seein this movie anyway y waste my ten dollars on a pointless remake.....its a free country i can bitch if i want to.

It makes me quite sad that this really good horror film is going to be remade. I wish that these Hollywood studios would get their collective heads out of theirs asses and actually make an effort to search out good original horror screenplays. Such a thing does exist but these execs seem to be taking the easy way out.

AHHHHHH! FUCK NO! FUCK REMAKES! FUCK HOLLYWOOD! FUCK SNOWDEN AND WHITE!!!! sign the petition against the movie! just google poltergeist remake petition and it's the second link.

i normally don't bitch about remakes, but this is completely unnecessary. The first poltergeist film is fantastic and does not need an update. I'm just confused as to why they've picked movies that are still scary as hell to remake. Why not pick movies that were a good idea in the first place, but executed poorly. This is just a bad idea.

"It makes me quite sad that this really good horror film is going to be remade." You will still have your original movie. If you don't like the idea of it being remade, don't go see it, stay home, and watch the original instead.

horrorchick81; I like your style. Keep that shit up. And fuck all these remakes anyway. Like I always say; that's fine if they want to shove remakes at us, but what pisses me off is that the highly rated horror movies that play at film fests get fucking bumped and pushed back all the time. The hardcore horror fans should get their films just like the remake crowd gets their's - that's all I'm saying.

By the way; who the fuck will say "They're Here..."? They better get Dakota Fanning or Abigale Breslin to say that shit. Hey, that's a classic line in movie cinema history. You can't just get some rugrat to belt that out.

no Dakota bleh :/

WHO THE FUCK HASN'T SEEN POLTERGEIST?!

I think they should punch themselves in the balls.

hey i got a direct link 2 the petition http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/poltergei stremake

pathetic

Vadim Perelman is a very talented director, so there is some hope for this. However, "Poltergeist" (the original anyway) is a classic and remaking one is a challenge I wouldn't want to be faced with. I could seriously do without a remake of this, the original still holds up to this day and I think we should just let it be. But alas, studios know there's money to be had.

This totally sucks, why do they have to keep remaking all these classics that are already great movies as they are.
