2019's Pet Sematary is a wild swing of a remake directed by Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch that goes even darker than the original Mary Lambert adaptation. It sticks to the main beats of King's original story until it veers off in a wildly different direction, a decision that proved divisive among King constant readers, but one you have to admire over playing it safe and just doing a simple modern updating of the material.
You know him as young Ben Hanscom in the recent It films and now Jeremy Ray Taylor is all growed up. He's a married man and works with cars, but he still acts and has a new project out in theaters, an action comedy by the name of London Calling where he co-stars with Josh Duhamel as a nerdy kid forced to tag along with a lousy hitman by his mobster father in order to toughen him up some.
We talk about that movie as well as his experiences working on It: Chapters 1 and 2, before we dive into his chosen topic: 2019's Pet Sematary remake. Why this one? Turns out, Jeremy is a bit of a horror scaredy cat and this is the movie that helped get him into the genre.
