Forgoing for the moment that a Poltergeist remake is already a bad idea, the track record of the chosen writers isn’t inspiring a lot of confidence.

Admittedly, the co-writers of the original were not really of note at the time (except for that Spielberg guy). But you imagine that you’d want to turn to someone with the credentials to turn in a screenplay as strong as, if not better than, the source material. Frank Darabont comes to mind. Sam Raimi. Peter Jackson.

Or, if you can’t afford to go A-list, how about Steven Moffat, who has written some creepy-as-hell eps of Doctor Who, many involving children?

Or you can go with the folks who wrote Boogeyman. Your call.
