A new adaptation of Pet Sematary was released in April 2019... 1 / 8

As Stephen King sent a notice stating he would be taking the rights back in 2 years. 3 / 8

A feature in the U.S copyright law allows authors to get the rights back... 4 / 8

Once 35 years have passed after original publication. 5 / 8

Pet Sematary was published in 1983... 6 / 8

So King should have gotten the rights back in 2018... 7 / 8

But there hasn't been any confirmation on that (yet). 8 / 8
