Actually, the remake is this year's film. Being released in the U.S. in May of this year. The good news is, because it lost money at the box office, some $16 million, we will be unlikely to get . . .
A TV series "Poltergeist : the Legacy" (1996)
"Poltergeist III" (1988)
"Poltergeist II : the Other Side" (1986)
All of which were spawned by the original 1982 film.
Just be prepared for . . . if a current film has not already been green lighted for a sequel, a prequel, a reboot, a remake, or a reinvention. it will be, especially if it has any success at the box office.
Thanks for the clarification... Still and all, it does astound me how many of these just fizzle.
