Deadline is reporting that Amy Seimetz (Alien: Covenant) has become the latest addition to the cast of Paramount Pictures’ Stephen King remake Pet Sematary, joining the previously announced Jason Clarke (Winchester) and John Lithgow (The Crown).
Seimetz will portray the female lead, Rachel Creed, the wife of Clarke’s Louis Creed, and mother to young Gage, the child who is killed in a tragic accident, only to be brought back from the dead thanks to an ancient burial ground hidden behind the local pet graveyard.
