Sam Rockwell is in early talks to star in MGM's Poltergeist remake for director Gil Kenan (Monster House).
The actor will portray the husband of Rosemarie DeWitt's character, who joined the cast last month. The story centers on the Bowen family, whose lives are turned upside down when paranormal forces begin to take hold of the youngest daughter Madison.
