Such may be the case according to Moviehole, which has learned from trusted sources that Poltergeist: In the Shadows is in the early stages of development as you read this. Does that mean it will actually happen? Hell no. But it’s a good sign that Poltergeist 1 & 2 writer Michael Grais has apparently been asked to pen the sequel.
The film will have nothing in common with Poltergeist: Kaveri, which had an early draft done by Moviehole editor Clint Morris before it was put into turnaround, and it will also not be a remake of the first (thank God). Since it’s likely no cast will return, we’ll have to assume it’s just a setup using the same mtythology established in the first three films.
There, now we’ll just wait another few months for more discussion of Poltergeist: In the Shadows and all will be right with the world…
