Sam Raimi to produce “Poltergeist” horror remakeApril 30, 2012 - 21:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Sam Raimi is boarding MGM’s Poltergeist, The Hollywood Reporter said. The filmmaker, who got his start with the Evil Dead horror movies, will produce the remake of the 1982 film - which Steven Spielberg produced and co-scripted from his original story - with Nathan Kahane, Roy Lee, and Robert Tapert.
