Back in April a story started circling the net that Sam Raimi was thinking about remaking Poltergeist. The Hollywood Reporter quickly put out a story that Raimi was only producing the flick. Now THR has changed its tune once again.

In a new article just posted on THR, we found this little nugget of information. Apparently David Lindsay-Abair is writing a script for a remake of Poltergeist to be directed by Sam Raimi. What gives? No clue. We’ll find out soon enough, though, that’s for sure.

The Poltergeist reimagining originally had Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog) attached to direct, but then money woes at MGM slowed everything down to a grinding halt on the flick.
