George Clooney is apparently in talks to play a role in Paramount Pictures' remake of Stephen King's "Pet Sematary" reports Bloody Disgusting.

It's unsure which role he has in the remake which was written by Dave Kajganich, Mike Werb and Michael Colleary. One suspects though that it will be the role of either the leading man Louis or the neighbour Jud. The film is based on Stephen King's 1983 novel of the same name that was previously adapted onto film in 1989.

The plot follows a doctor and his family moving to an idyllic home next to a highway running through a small Maine town. When their pet cat dies, a neighbour shows them not only the nearby pet cemetery, but an Indian burial ground beyond it which has the ability to bring things back from the dead with horrific results.
