According to information provided by the Deadline side , after long negotiations in the film, Jackson White ( Mrs. Fletcher ) agreed to perform . He will play Judo Crandall, already known to viewers and readers, the older neighbor of the Creeds, previously played by John Lithgow (2019).
As White is a young 25-year-old actor, his choice seems to make it clear that the new Pet Smash will be a prequel to the classic story featured in the 2019 production. Earlier, its producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, suggested that it was possible, and the first edition and the original book seem to clearly indicate what the next part of Pet Sematary will focus on .
It was Jud Crandall, the neighbor of the main character of the first part – Louis Creed, who told him that the last person buried behind the saddler, in the former Indian burial site, had returned from the dead. The deceased was Timmy Baterman, who died during World War II. His father, unable to come to terms with his loss, buries him where the members of the Micmac tribe were previously buried. Batman comes back to life and begins to terrorize his townspeople as resurrected animals did. Because of this, the father decides to take the final step and kills his son. This, in turn, led to Crandall’s familiar conclusion: “sometimes dead is better.”
But as we wrote a month ago , apart from guesswork, the details of the plot of the new Pet Sematary are still unknown , but the prequel seems to be almost certain. It is also not known when the production will debut, although it has already been confirmed that it will go to the streaming service – Paramount Plus.
