Fresh off directing the Pet Sematary prequel, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, Lindsey Anderson Beer already has her eyes on her next project. The screenwriter will now helm a new adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow based on the 1820 short story of the same name by Washington Irving.
Beer recently sat down for an interview with Collider where she talked about her plans for the remake. She confessed that her work on Pet Sematary has equipped her with the skills for the Sleepy Hollow reboot. From what we gathered, she plans to use the same approach she used when developing the Pet Sematary prequel to develop the Sleepy Hollow movie.
She said, "It's also the same kind of thing where when I was doing Bloodlines, I kept asking myself when I was doing the rewrites, 'What would I want to know as a Pet Sematary fan? What are the questions left unanswered from the book? What are the parts of the book that haven't been explored in the movies?'"
Beer's Pet Sematary: Bloodlines will explore the parts of the Stephen King novel that the original film didn't touch. Beer plans to do the same thing with the Sleepy Hollow reboot.
She gave us a sneak peek into her mind when she said, "There are so many things like that that aren't explored in films, and that a lot of the fans don't know because they haven't read the book, or haven't read the book for so much time."
