Gil Kenan to Direct “Poltergeist” Remake

Yes, the Poltergeist remake is still very much alive.  Though maybe now we have a little bit less to worry about as Deadline is reporting that Monster House director Gil Kenan is being tapped by MGM to helm the remake.

Along with Monster House, Gil has also directed the severely underrated City of Ember and is working on A Giant with The Henson Company.

This new take on the Poltergeist is being produced by Sam Raimi and is based on the 1982 classic directed by Tobe Hooper in which family is terrorized by ghosts after moving into their new home.
