Ludlow Turns Petulant In Paramount+'s 'Pet Sematary: Bloodlines' Trailer
The film premieres on Paramount+ on October 6
Jud Crandall knows dead is better. In the upcoming prequel to Stephen King's 1983 novel Pet Sematary, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, we'll discover how he learned it the first time. We even see some of it in the trailer, those first encounters with the undead people and pets. He's played by Jackson White here. Bloodlines premieres Friday, October 6, exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Brazil, and Saturday, October 7, in the streamer's international markets.
The novel was previously adapted into film in 1989 and 2019, in which Crandall was played by Fred Gwynne (best known for playing Herman Munster) and John Lithgow respectively. This prequel does not have a literary counterpart, but the trades cannot figure out or decide which version of the story the film is a prequel to. In addition, the events were alluded to in the story, but never elaborated on or played out in full. It will have its world premiere at this year’s Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, running from September 21-28.
