Leave It Alone!
It looks like MGM is actually going through with its plans to remake 1982's "The Poltergeist." The studio has hired Juliet Snowden and Stiles White to write a script. They are also currently looking for a director.
Steven Spielberg co-wrote the original script about "a suburban home built over an Indian burial ground and thus inhabited by a nasty spirit." The original starred Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Dominique Dunne and Heather O'Rourke. "Poltergeist" also spawned two sequels.
Many, including myself, think the movie is cursed! Heather and Dominique died after the film's release. Will Sampson, one of the stars of the sequel, performed an exorcism on the set to get rid of "alien spirits." He died a year after the sequel was released. There's a Wikipedia page on "The Poltergeist Curse."
Why would they even touch this?! It's obviously cursed! But if they insist, they should cast Heidi Montag, Parasite Hilton, Spencer Pratt and every member of The Westboro Baptist Church.
Fuck I hate those Hollywood arseholes!!!
This film is a classic. Leave it alone!
To this very day I can't stand to have a TV on a "non-station" with all that white noise and shit goin' on.
*scary scary times*
Trivia Alert >>> Believe it or not!
This is from Wikipedia...
The "prop" skeletons emerging from the muddy swimming pool towards the end of the first movie were in fact real corpses - the cast and crew found this out later. Craig T Nelson has been interviewed saying they were all very angry when this was disclosed as the prop company's "mistake" [citation needed].
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maybe if that dead gansta dude is sick of standing in the corner he could make his first screen debut in the new movie?
Everyone who died during the making of these films is spinning in their untimely graves.
Ich will aus Ihren Augen reißen und pisse in ihren Steckdosen!
All l can say is if there really was a curse on this movie then i hope it hits this REMAKE AND HIT IT GOOD! I MEAN, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PEOPLE?

James Haven was set to play "Carol Ann" and Angie was set to play "Tangina" in the remake of this 80's chiller!
However, "Urban Cowboy" is going to be made into a musical and James Haven is in talks to play "Bud". Originally, James Haven wanted to play that mean cowboy, the one that popped Debra Winger in the chops, but was told he is more Travoltaesque and would be great as "Bud".
Angie was going to play "Sissy" but the producers thought it might be weird for James Haven and Angie to play lovers. Weird? We love each other, is that so weird?
Anyhoo, if James Haven gets the part he is going to have to practice riding a mechanical bull. This might be fun!
Keep your fingers crossed!

BRADIFUL BITCH said, "Trivia, JoBeth Williams character was 32 in the movie and the oldest child, Dominique's character, was 16. Poltergeist Mom was 16 when she had her first child.
I love the little shit like that."
Really? I always thought the oldest daughter was supposed to have been Craig T. Nelson's daughter from an earlier marriage. Not sure where I got that.
As for the remake...I find that depressing, just the very concept. But not terribly surprising.

There are not sufficient words to describe the WBC. One of my more distant cousins was killed by an IED in Iraq on August 5 and a few days before his funeral, they sent out/posted hundreds of flyers in my hometown about how they would be protesting the funeral "from a respectful distance" and that anyone interfering with them were the ones disrespecting my cousin, as he died defending those fuckers' 1st Amendment rights. They are damn lucky they didn't show up or my family would be protesting THEIR funerals right now.
Seriously, what kind of hate do you have inside you to even THREATEN protesting the funeral of a 22-year old National Guard member? And what's their problem with the armed forces? You'd think they'd all be on board together, as the army hates gays too. Hell is too good for Phelps and his "church" members.

My Grandma's 2nd cousin was Sonny (Will) Sampson from Polotergeist 2-----He was also the big Indian Jack called "Chief" in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" plus other movies and t.v. spots---We're all from Okmulgee, Oklahoma---before he got busy in Hollywood he used to come out to my mom's bar "The Alibi Lounge" in Okmulgee.
Sonny was a Shaman and did a cleansing on the set of Poltergeist 2 because there were real human skulls among the props. If Sonny said there were some upset spirits I would absolutely believe it. We are Creek Indian and the spirit world like other Indian beliefs are no joke. Always be respectful of the dead.
Sonny, however, did die after the last movie from complications due to a heart and lung transplant in Dallas, TX.-----He knew how to protect himself spiritually, but unfortunately humans have other demons to be dealt with. Unfortunately, back when and even now, Indians aren't treated very well back home. I don't even go there anymore. Sonny was not really an actor first, but an artist who loved to paint wolves and full moons. (remember he was "Two Leaf" on "Vegas" with Bob Ulrich?) geez, i'm getting old----He was also a very tall man about 6'7--I didn't get that gene!
Our family just had a great Aunt turn 108 years old this July, and Sonny was very sick, otherwise he'd probably still be here. I'm planning on being at least 105 myself.

It's not so much the idea that a remake is being made for this or any movie that bothers me -- it's the absolute knowledge that said remakes will be inferior in every way to the classics, with mediocre actors and dumbed down [even further] for idiot audiences.
I think what bothers a lot of people is the audacity shown by these hammy modern actors of questionable talent to think they can match or exceed (or even pay homage to) the achievements of true stars from years gone by.

This remake will bomb because the original still looks awesome. It's barely even aged (much like beloved Heather O'Rourke ..sniff). I just watched it again with my 19 year old boyfriend and he thought it was scarier and cooler than all horror movies made since his birth combined.

Why don't they just go ahead and remake The Exorcist too? Between that and Poltergeist, half of Hollywood will die a gruesome death, and maybe we can get some new blood in there that has some original ideas.

She has her profile set so it's restricted and can't be viewed. I didn't even know we could do that.
I think this could help here. When someone registers a new ID name here, they should be limited to how many posts they can have. The first two weeks they get 5 posts a day, the next two weeks they get 10....etc
But I am extreme that way.
Edited to add: If they are reported in the first few weeks and its found that it was spam, they get the boot.
