The first trailers and poster for the "Poltergeist" remake have been released. We have a teaser trailer in two versions, domestic and international. The international trailer is the better version, with much better editing and a little more subtle in its presentation. The movie, produced by Sam Raimi ("Evil Dead") and directed by Gil Kenan ("Monster House"), looks to be faithful enough to the original while also adding appropriately modern elements to the story. It will definitely have better visuals, but I also fear that it might borrow too much from the recent "Paranormal Activity" craze. Thank God they didn't think of remaking it as a found-footage flick. The remake stars Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jared Harris, Saxon Sharbino, Jane Adams, Kyle Catlett and Kennedi Clements.
"Poltergeist" opens in theaters on July 24th.
