Nothing is confirmed at this point, but Vadim Perelman is in negotiations to direct MGM’s remake of “Poltergeist,” according to Blood-Disgusting.com.

A couple of weeks ago, it was announced that Stiles White and Juliet Snowden would pen the script for the new version of Tobe Hooper’s 1982 horror classic.

Ukraine-born Perelman previously directed the Oscar-nominated “House of Sand and Fog” and “The Life Before Her Eyes.”

I know this is unforgivable, but I have yet to watch “Fog.” It’s been sitting on my DVD shelf forever, and I’ve heard great things about it. Considering the limited number of new releases this week, I may get a chance to finally check it out.

What do you guys think of this? Would Perelman be an adequate pick to handle such a remake? Let me know.
