Veteran actor John Lithgow has boarded the cast of "Pet Sematary" remake.
The film is an adaptation of Stephen King's 1983 novel of the same name, which was also the basis for a 1989 feature film.
"The Crown" actor will play Jud Crandall, a kindly neighbour to a big city family that moves into the country, in the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Everest" star Jason Clarke is already aboard the project and will be portraying the role of Louis Creed, which was portrayed by Dale Midkiff in the 1989 movie.
The story follows Creed, who tries to bring back his dead son by placing him to rest in an Indian burial ground but it does not go according to plan.
Filmmaker duo Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch will direct the film with a script from Jeff Buhler, reported Variety.
Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian and Steven Schneider are producing with Alexandra Loewy executive producing.
