Man, it’s a big news day today!

MGM has officially announced that they’re remaking Tobe Hooper’s classic horror flick “Poltergeist”.

Though a redo has been rumoured for quite a while, MGM had yet to confirm it. Today, The Hollywood Reporter poured some cement on the long-time whisper – it’s now concrete; Carol Anne Freeling will stare gazingly into a TV once more.

Though MGM had been toying with the idea of doing a sequel to the original films – as most know, My boss Mr. Clint Morris’s “Poltergeist Kayeri” was doing the rounds for a while (before Sony and MGM came to be one) but more recently, “Poltergeist : In the Shadows”, a script by Michael Grais, was said to be under consideration – they’ve obviously decided a relaunch is the best bet. I’ll reserve comment.
