According to Slashfilm.com, "Poltergeist" reboot might be one of those projects that combines all three elements: "reboot," "remake," and "sequel".
The "Poltergeist" reboot is directed by Gil Kenan and written by David Lindsay-Abaire.
BloodyDisgusting described the plot:
"[T]he new version follows Eric Bowen and his family who, after he loses his job, relocate to a new town to start anew. His daughter, Madison, is abducted, making him truly understand what's important in life: family. In the new version, Eric's wife, Amy, can communicate with the dead."
Another interesting new character is Carrigan Burke, a television personality who hosts "Haunted House Cleaners." The supernatural doesn't scare this guy. Dr. Brooke Powell is Carrigan's ex-wife who is a parapsychologist at a local university.Her team investigates the supernatural events surrounding the disappearance of the Bowen girl."
