With the arrival of Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s brand new adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Pet Sematary arriving in theaters later this week (ICYMI, read my review HERE), Daily Dead will be celebrating the film all throughout the week with exclusive interviews and more. First up, we had the opportunity to speak with both Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz during the press day for Pet Sematary (2019), and they discussed the timelessness of King’s original story and the challenges of adapting his material, exploring loss and grief, how this version changes things up with their respective characters, and more.
SPOILER WARNING: If you haven’t seen any of the Pet Sematary (2019) trailers and are unaware of the major change to this iteration of King’s story, then the following interview might be a bit spoilery.
Look for more on Pet Sematary (2019) all this week, right here on Daily Dead.
