John Lithgow takes over the role of Jud Crandall in next year’s Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch-directed Pet Sematary, the character of course played in the original adaptation by the late Fred Gwynne. Via Fandango, we’ve got a new image of the new Jud. Find it below.
Twins Hugo Lavoie and Lucas Lavoie play Gage Creed, with Jeté Laurence taking on the role of Ellie Creed. Jason Clarke (Winchester) and Amy Seimetz (Alien: Covenant, A Horrible Way to Die) are our new Louis and Rachel Creed. Young actress Alyssa Brooke Levine has been cast as our new Zelda, with Obssa Ahmed playing Victor Pascow.
In Pet Sematary, adapted by Jeff Buhler…
“Based on the novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed, who, after relocating with his wife Rachel and their two young children from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family’s new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his unusual neighbor, Jud Crandall, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.”
Return to the Pet Sematary on April 5, 2019.
