The Internet loses this week. Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter ran a piece stating Sam Raimi was not only going to produce a remake of Poltergeist (which is true) but going to direct it as well. Naturally, this fired up a storm of news items across major websites spreading the word that Raimi was pinned as the director.
But that is not the case.
The writer behind the forthcoming remake, David Lindsay-Abaire, who was attributed as the one to tell THR the news, tweeted the following statement: “Horse’s Mouth here. I never said Raimi was directing. That would be awesome, but alas it’s not.”
So, there you have it.
