New poltergeist

I see hollywood's drought of original movies still continues. With the remake of the 80's classic poltergeist. There will be noone from the original in it. Nor will Spielberg be directing it. they all so say that they will not change anything in the movie, just addd a few more"frights". my Q is..why bother? my suggestion is wait for it to come out on dvd/blu ray. I think going to see these pics at cinemas will only encourage the current trend of remaking movies...
also there will be a prequel to the movie I am legend. my question to that is. why? All the exciting things happens after the virus is unleashed on the world. a prequel. will just be a boring gab feast.

Raimi Producing "Poltergeist" Remake

Update: Sam Raimi will Produce Poltergeist, but will Not Direct
News

April 27, 2012


Following rumors earlier today that he might direct the project, The Hollywood Reporter has now confirmed that Sam Raimi has, indeed, boarded MGM's upcoming remake of Poltergeist, but is doing so in a producer-only capacity alongide Nathan Kahane and Roy Lee.

The original film was directed by Tobe Hooper and released in 1982 with Steven Spielberg producing and told the story of a malevolent spectral force that tries to take daughter of a Californian family. It spawned two sequels, Poltergeist II: The Other Side in 1986 and Poltergeist III in 1988.

Raimi, who directed The Evil Dead one year before the first Poltergeist was released, is also known today for, among many other films, his Spider-Man trilogy and, most recently, for Drag Me to Hell. He's currently in post-production on Oz the Great and Powerful.

No director is currently attached to Poltergeist, but check back for updates as they become available.
