Clooney Visiting Pet Semetary
August 2, 2006 Comments
In a surprising casting event, Bloody Disgusting says George Clooney is in talks to take on a role in the upcoming remake of the Stephen King classic Pet Semetary:
George Clooney, the bad ass mofo from Dusk Till Dawn, will in in talks to play a role in Paramount Pictures' remake of Stephen King's Pet Sematary! What we don't know is how big of a role he has, but he will be in the film, which was written by Dave Kajganich, Mike Werb and Michael Colleary.
This is a big step up in star power compared to the original Pet Semetary, considering some of the previous stars were Fred "Herman Munster" Gwynne, Denise "Tasha Yar from Star Trek: TNG" Crosby, and Dale "Pet Semetary" Midkiff. The only reason I can see that Clooney would be willing to work on this is if he's been collecting so many animal carcasses through neglect that it will be easier to make a movie about it than take care of them.
