I'm already tired with the whole "creepy kids wearing masks" schtick they felt the need to add.
Realizing I'm in the minority that is looking forward to this. I really enjoyed the book and the original movie.
I wonder if the masked children could be from a flashback about those who'd used the pet cemetery before (I'd prefer this to some half-assed Children Of The Corn thing).
I understand how these kids with masks might put some off, but I'm fine with them as long as they have something to do with the past, as in flashbacks...but then again, they might turn up as ghosts or something, which would be weird. For me, the trailer looks good and I'm all in, but I don't wish to see those kids being part of the present fear and danger. It would be like having Michael Myers roaming the Marsten House if another remake of 'Salem's Lot should ever happen. But Jason Clarke and John Lithgow are both great, and that girl Jeté Campbell seems to be more talented than the girl who played the original Ellie, so who knows...

While a new film of Pet Sematary is set to hit theatres next year, director Mary Lambert has been restoring and remastering her original film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. The filmmaker behind the first film adaptation announced via social media that she’s been hard at work with the studio to create a high-definition version of Pet Sematary.
“Working with Paramount to create HDR version of original Pet Sematary. It looks amazing,” Lambert wrote on Instagram (and Twitter) along with a video of the Achilles tendon-slicing scene from the 1989 film.
A few days later, the filmmaker went on Twitter to provide an updated progress report. “I spent #FemaleFilmakerFriday working at @ParamountPics on the restoration of Pet Sematary,” tweeted Lambert. “HDR Color Grading & Dolby Vision. Looks gorgeous!! Their team is amazing! I'd love to direct another project for Paramount one day. Xo”
Lambert’s film adaptation of Pet Sematary was written by King himself and filmed in part in Maine (King wanted to bring some of that Hollywood movie money to his home state). It starred Dale Midkiff, Fred Gwynne, Denise Crosby and Brad Greenquist.
Pet Sematary centers on the Creed family who moves to a house in Maine near a road where pets are known to get run over by careening trucks and a cemetery that children have built (hence the misspelling of the word “cemetery”) for said mowed-down pets. But when tragedy strikes the Creeds, patriarch Louis Creed learns of the cemetery’s unnatural powers of resurrection and (mis)uses it in a fit of grief. It doesn’t go well.
Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch are directing this new version of Pet Sematary, based off a script by Jeff Buhler (showrunner of SYFY's George R.R. Martin series Nightflyers). It stars John Lithgow and Jason Clarke.
No word on when fans can expect to see this new high-definition version of the original movie, but the new Pet Sematary film is set to hit theatres in April 19, 2019.
A new trailer drops tomorrow (probably at ew.com) and the film will premiere at SXSW.
Horror at the beginning, horror at the end: After SXSW Film (March 8-17) announced that Jordan Peele's eagerly awaited doppelganger chiller Us will be this year's opening night movie, today the festival confirmed it will close with the new adaptation of Stephen King's Pet Sematary.

It should arrive by 3pm, Paris time
Warning: the trailer gives away A LOT, and it looks like the film does things plenty different from the book. So don't watch if you want to be surprised in the theatre. I definitely have reservations towards this after seeing it, but at the same time, it intrigues me as well.
I am fully expecting a POOR King adaptation this time round.... :(
EW has an article of the filmmakers explaining their choices. I'll put it in a spoiler for those who want to be surprised.

Spoiler: 02-07-2019 07:03 AMHeather19I think I'm going to hold off on watching the new trailer. I was just reading online that it gave away a major spoiler (which I absolutely hate spoilers). So I came here to see if it was something from the book, but I'm guessing it's not. Now I'm worried based on everyone's reaction that they're going to mess with the story. I guess I need to stay away from anything concerning the film until it's released, and lower my expectations so that I'm not too annoyed by them changing the story around. 02-07-2019 07:04 AMCyberGhostfaceSo much for this being more faithful to the book. 02-07-2019 07:05 AMBev Vincent 02-07-2019 07:27 AMCyberGhostfacePoster. Hints at the aforementioned spoiler so putting it under a cut.
