Pet Sematary

3/5/10 - Matthew Greenberg, who wrote the Stephen King adaptation 1408, is heading back to King territory with Pet Sematary, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently boarded as producer, which is set up at Paramount. Steven Schneider also is producing.  Published in 1983, King's creeper tale centered on a family that trades the city life for the country life in Maine, then discovers that they have moved near a pet cemetery that rests on an ancient burial ground. When the husband's toddler son is killed in an auto accident, the father takes the boy's body to the cemetery, where it is resurrected in demonic form.  Paramount brought the book to life in 1989, with a feature version adapted by King that starred Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby and Fred Gwynne.
