“Jackie Brown” star and cinematic icon Pam Grier has joined the “Pet Sematary” prequel which will debut exclusively on the Paramount+ service. Shooting will begin in August.
The project will serve as an origin story to the Stephen King novel about a family that discovers a rather disturbing graveyard in the woods behind their home.
Grier joins a cast that includes Jackson White, Forrest Goodluck, Jack Mulhern, Natalie Alyn Lind and Isabella Star LeBlanc.
The project marks the feature directorial debut of writer Lindsey Beer (“Sierra Burgess Is a Loser”), while 2019 “Pet Sematary” scribe Jeff Buhler is penning the script. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian will produce.
