    Relieved to hear the good reviews. Hope the film does well if only for the continued success of King films. I still remember how the trailers for 'Secret Window' and 'Hearts in Atlantis' almost felt ashamed at King's involvement and now he's huge again (outside of books, obviously).

    Spoiler changes aside the whole 'kids with masks banging drums' seen on all the trailers and promo material got old really fast. It just feels so manufactured and self-aware.

    Almost like the idea was that these kids had seen the first Pet Sematary movie.

    Pet Sematary isn’t out in theaters yet, but people are already asking about sequels. While author Stephen King never wrote a follow-up to this terrifying book, there was a sequel film made to the original 1989 film adaptation – 1992’s Pet Sematary Two. According to producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, this new adaptation likely won’t follow in its predecessors footsteps and make a sequel. But there is room for a potential Pet Sematary prequel.

    The new adaptation of Pet Sematary is great, and likely on its way towards box office success. Could a sequel be far behind? Not exactly. Speaking with Consequence of Sound, Pet Sematary producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said he has ideas for a follow-up film – if it’s a prequel:

    “I think if there’s anything here, there’s a prequel. I think if you look at the book, we didn’t cover all that stuff that happens before the Creed family moves in. So, I think there’s a movie there, and I think I’d be particularly interested in doing that, because, again, it’s the source material and you are going toward something that also has a lot of crazy, creepy feelings about it.”

    In King’s novel, and the new film, the Creed family moves to the town of Ludlow Maine, and learn of a burial ground deep in the woods that has the power to raise the dead. King’s book has a lot of backstory about the burial ground, most of it recounted by the Creed’s new neighbor, Jud Crandall. Things don’t play out exactly the same way in the new movie, though.

    Throughout the bulk of King’s book (and spoilers for the book but not the new movie follow), Jud claims that only animals were buried and brought back to life. Near the end, however, the old man breaks down and tells the story about a young man named Timmy Baterman, killed during action in World War II. When Baterman’s body was shipped home, his father buried him in the cursed burial ground, at which point Timmy rose from the dead as a ghoulish zombie-like creature with an alarming amount of knowledge about the people of the town.

    This story was filmed for the 1989 film adaptation, but is completely glossed over in the 2019 movie – the only mention of Timmy is a quick blink-and-you’ll-miss-it newspaper headline. It stands to reason that if someone wanted to make a prequel to the 2019 Pet Sematary, they could go back and expand the Timmy Baterman story into a feature, complete with a younger version of Jud as one of the characters.

    That’s just speculation, though. A prequel could also create its own brand-new story, completely separate from anything King wrote. In any case, I’m perfectly fine with the new Pet Sematary standing on its own, without prequel or sequel following.

    Pet Sematary opens April 5.

    Would much rather see this as a Castle Rock episode instead of a full Jud origin movie

    I avoided the second trailer because it contained spoilers, but then people on social media spoiled it for me. And now every time I turn on the tv, they're showing a commercial for the movie which contains said spoiler, so just be aware if any commercials come on you might not want to watch.

    I'm glad to hear it's getting early positive reviews, but I'm still unsure about it. Hopefully it really is a decent movie.

    I figured the TV spots might be showing spoilers also, so I've not watched any of those either. So far, so good.

    I have seen the movie just now at a french premiere.
    And even though it's not flawless, I thought that it was quite good.

    Despite the major changes compared to the book, the movie is actually quite loyal to the book in many ways and details....

    I saw it yesterday during Argentinean's premiere and I liked it quite a bit. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of haters though, because of the changes.

    I'm thinking I might go Saturday as well. It's getting some buzz, that's for sure. I'm more excited by it now than I was before, though I'm still trepidatious about it given I wasn't a fan of the last King adaptation (It) and Pet Sematary is one of my top King books. I'd hate to get hyped up for it and then be disappointed. It does make me a little concerned that the running time, before credits, is about 1 hr. 35 mins. Either it's going to be incredibly tight and well done, or rushed and leaving out a lot of the book.

    Also, had the Big Change spoiled for me in an EW article about the film. Weirdly enough, I wasn't as angry with it as I thought I'd be. When people kept mentioning a big change, I figured that might be something they played with. But really, I don't think it will change the story too much (well, I hope not).

    As to big changes...what if...what if they buried Lazarus in the pet cemetery? What if they buried one of those immortal jelly fish in the pet cemetery? Just food for thought...or perhaps I did too much coke in the 80's...90's IDK.
