The release date for the forthcoming update of Poltergeist has been put on hold by MGM. House Of Sand And Fog director Vadim Perelman was confirmed to remake the 1982 Tobe Hooper-helmed horror in August. Boogeyman scribes Stiles White and Juliet Snowden later signed on to pen the screenplay for the studio. The proposed project was to debut in cinemas on November 24, 2010. However, Bloody Disgusting reports that the picture will now be filmed in early 2010, but not in time for (more)

Why 'Poltergeist' Remake Put On Hold

»
What may be the ground behind the delay of "Poltergeist" release date has been laid bare. MGM, the studio producing the remake to Tobe Hooper's classic '80s haunted house, has provided clarification on the matter to Bloody-Disgusting (Bd), revealing that this remake movie will start the production in early 2010, which makes it impossible for the film to be "done in time for the November release."
Prior to the contact made by the studio, Bd reported that MGM may have put the production of "Poltergeist" remake on hold. It claimed that the studio has pulled the project out of its original Thanksgiving 2010 release on November 24, and bumped it to an undetermined 2011. The report sparked speculation that the delay may be caused by financial woes the studio is experiencing.
This remake is set to relive the horror of the classic 1982 scary movie from producer Steven Spielberg. MGM has signed a pair of "Boogeyman" screenwriters,

Neil Marshall & Sam Raimi To ‘Burst’ In 3D

Earlier this year, Sam Raimi brought us one of the most purely fun tongue-in-cheek horrors I’ve seen in a long time with Drag Me To Hell, a welcome return to his horror roots after many years of directing in other genres. However, as some you may know, Raimi has been prolific in the horror department on the producing side of things, with his Ghost House Pictures being responsible for such films as The Grudge, 30 Days of Night and Boogeyman.
And now, it appears that Raimi and his Ghost House Pictures will be teaming up with The Descent director, Neil Marshall, to bring us the rather over-the-top sounding Burst 3D.
Shock Till You Drop reports that Raimi and Rob Tapert, through their Ghost House Pictures, will be producing Burst 3D with Marshall at the helm, and with Lionsgate distributing the film worldwide. Word got to Styd earlier this week from Tapert himself,

Those of you who are of a certain age no doubt remember the phrase "Must See TV" and its application to NBC's Thursday night lineup of shows during the 1990's.

‘Poltergeist’ Remake Gets Release Date

With Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th getting remade and rebooted these days, it’s only inevitable to hear about a remake of arguably one of the scariest horror films of the 1980s in Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist.
About two years ago, it was announced that MGM Studios was working on the remake, and then a year later they announced that House of Sand and Fog director Vadim Perelman would take the helm. Even later, MGM picked up Stiles White and Juliet Snowden, the team behind 2005’s Boogeyman and this year’s Knowing, would be penning the script.
It has now been announced that the film will have a release date of November 24 of next year. Not a terrible draw, being Thanksgiving weekend, and also one week after the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. You can expect to see more November releases in the

Poltergeist Remake Gets A Release Date

Shock Till You Drop is reporting that the remake of Tobe Hooper’s classic 1982 ghost film, Poltergeist, has been set a release date of November 24th, 2010 (Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S.). We’re still in the dark as far as a cast or production start date, but now we know when MGM is planning to release the remake.
The original Poltergeist was directed by Hooper and co-written, produced and overseen by Steven Spielberg. The film is about a family who were haunted in their house (which was built on an Indian burial ground) by ghosts that end up “kidnapping” the young daughter of the family. As stated, there’s not many details on the remake, including how close it will follow the original’s story. My guess is that in the vein of, for example, the horrible Amityville Horror remake, the story won’t change that drastically.

"Poltergeist", a remake to '80s horror movie, is yet to cast its stars, but it has secured a release date. According to Shock Till You Drop, the remake film will be coming out in theaters during Thanksgiving weekend of 2010 as MGM picked November 24, 2010 as the day the studio will release the new horror film.
The locked date placed "Poltergeist" in competition with Screen Gems' drama musical starring Christina Aguilera, "Burlesque". Though when MGM plans to debut the film in U.S. theaters has been unraveled, no other detail on the possible cast ensemble and on when and where the filmmakers are planning to shoot the remake project is disclosed.
This remake is set to relive the horror of the classic 1982 scary movie from notable filmmaker Steven Spielberg. MGM has signed a pair of "Boogeyman" screenwriters, Juliet Snowden and Stiles White, to make some reworks on the reboot project's script.

MGM's Poltergeist Remake Gets a Late 2010 Release Date

And we thought this would never happen! We last wrote about MGM's Poltergeist remake more than a year ago, stating only that Ukrainian filmmaker Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog, The Life Before Her Eyes) was attached to direct. ShockTillYouDrop has now confirmed that MGM has set a November 24th, 2010 release date for the new Poltergeist and that Perelman is still directing. According to IMDb, the script was written by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White (Boogeyman, Knowing). But no other details were revealed or are currently known at this time, including when it stars shooting or anything about the cast.
The original Poltergeist, released in 1982, was directed by Tobe Hooper and written by Steven Spielberg. The thriller is about a group of ghosts who begin communicating with five-year-old Carol Anne Freeling in her parents' suburban California home via static on the television. At first the ghosts appear friendly, ...

Poltergeist Remake Gets a Release Date

For the last year now, we've been hearing rumblings of a Poltergeist remake over at MGM. Last August we told you that the studio had hired Juliet Snowden and Stiles White, the team behind the modern horror classic (sarcasm) Boogeyman to write the screenplay. And we soon after learned that House of Sand and Fog director Vadim Perelmen was in talks to helm the unnecessary remake.
But until a release date is announced, I sometimes tend to convince myself that these projects could easily find their way into the depths of development hell. Until there is a production start, or a release date, the movie really doesn't exist. Well, I have some bad news. MGM has announced a release date. According to Shock, the "studio" has slated the haunted house remake for November 24th 2010. No further details have been released at this time.

And here we are, a look at the final day. Unfortunately, it's a rather weak schedule which has to make us now wonder...where is Dimension Films in this year's line-up? No Halloween 2 ? Or Piranha 3D ? I'm told Rob Zombie might be down there. Stay tuned for any last minute additions.

Several months back, Latino Review put together a video for their script review of Platinum Dunes upcoming A Nightmare On Elm Street remake. Now, they've done it again with a script review of Poltergeist. Keep in mind though that their original post admits that this is a review of the first draft by screenwriters Juliet Snowden and Stiles White (Knowing, Boogeyman). MGM claims they are no longer using this draft, so no word on if Snowden and White are still on board as the writers. Vadim Perelman is still attached to direct. Check out the video below:
The original Poltergeist was of course directed by Tobe Hooper and produced by Steven Spielberg. It spawned 2 sequels.
