Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will direct an upcoming remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, according to Variety.
The 28 Weeks Later helmer will work from a script byMatthew Greenberg (who previously adapted King’s 1408) and David Kajganich (who has also done work on a new version of King’s It).
Pet Sematary, which was released in 1983, tells the story of a Northeastern pet cemetery built on a Native American burial ground and home to a monstrous, supernatural Wendigo.
The story was previously adapted for the screen in 1989 with a sequel, Pet Sematary Two, following in 1992.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
