Yeah, Yeah; A New "Poltergeist" Movie, I Know This One

This story came up a few months back, but was quickly shot down. And now it resurfaces, bland and boring and entirely unaware that we don’t care. (Sigh.) Anyway, yeah, someone still thinks a new "Poltergeist" movie might be a really grand idea. How can we convince this person otherwise?

ComingSoon.net got the tip from a guy who runs a website called PoltergeistIII.com (yes, really), and here’s the general gist: An MGM exec named Charles Cohen says "We’re planning some type of new Poltergeist movie! More news soon!!" — which should then spin the entire internet into a ghost-happy frenzy, thereby allowing the next sequel/remake/ripoff to make huge piles of cash.

Or maybe the internet simply won’t care and this project will go back into mothballs. Anyway, that’s about all we have on this still-non-story. Once someone signs a check, hires a screenwriter and announces a director for "Poltergeist: The Fourth Sequel / First Remake" we’ll be sure to let you know.
