‘Poltergeist’ Trailer Looks Absolutely Bonkers!
THEY’RE HEEEEERRRREEEE…
No movie has ever had the same impact on me as Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg’s 1982 Poltergeist, a horror film that traumatized me as a child.
In fact, my parents had to buy me a bed that touched the floor, leaving no room for an evil demon-possessed clown to come out from under it.
It’s a seminal movie that every horror fan has to see. And if you haven’t, shame on you.
Now, releasing early in French (the English version should release within the next few hours) is the first official trailer for the Gil Keenan-directed remake, to be released in 3-D on July 24, 2015.
And while ever fiber of my being wants to reject it, Poltergeist 2015 actually looks pretty insane. Sure, they’re rehashing a lot of the same gags from the original, and sure, there’s a ton of CGI (the tree attack is maybe a bit much), but for my money it looks like a fun Friday night. And for are younger readers who have no seen the original, I expect a lot of the new version to scare the living shit out of you. When you see the final short of the trailer it’s hard to not think they went balls-to-the-wall crazy on this.
Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino and Jane Adams star, with Jared Harris playing Carrigan, a larger than life TV personality who left the world of academia behind to become the star host of basic cable TV show “Haunted House Cleaners.”
Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (producer) reimagines and contemporizes the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is invaded by angry spirits. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and hold the youngest daughter captive, the family must come together to rescue her before she disappears forever.
Updated with a second, different international trailer, too!

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
