- MGM wants to reboot a handful of franchises, among them Poltergeist (pictured; from producer-writer Steven Spielberg). Promisingly, MGM has offered David Lindsay-Abaire to write the remake. Lindsay-Abaire won a Pulitzer Prize for his play, Rabbit Hole, and was nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar for the film adaptation of the play. Vulture reports: “Insiders tell us MGM has no creative parameters for a Poltergeist remake — it would be Lindsay-Abaire’s to shape in whatever fashion he chooses, should he want the job.” MGM is also planning a Carrie remake. With a clean cupboard, remaking horror classics may be the best hand MGM has to play. Low budgets with potential for big reward…if they do it right.
