A few months back we let you guys know that Starry Eyes directing duo Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch’s upcoming remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary was all set for an April 2019 release.

Today we have news via THR that Jason Clarke is in negotiations to star in the remake as Dr. Louis Creed.

Personally, as a big fan of the novel, I think Jason Clarke will make a killer Louis Creed. This is definitely a step in the right direction for this remake and I can only hope the rest of the casting follows suit.

Now let’s see who they cast as Jud “Stay Outta Tha Rowd” Crandall. My vote goes to James Earl Jones. Whatd’ya think?

Synopsis:

Doctor Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne). After the Creeds’ cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse. When Louis’ son, Gage (Miko Hughes), dies tragically, Louis decides to bury the boy’s body in the same ground despite the warnings of Crandall and Louis’ visions of a deceased patient.
