The "IT" remake has a director and writer, will be turned into two movies

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Warner Bros’ adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel It has a director and writer.

Cary Fukunaga, the hot-shot filmmaker behind last year’s adaptation of Jane Eyre, is boarding the project as director and will co-write the script with Chase Palmer, who previously adapted Frank Herbert’s Dune for Paramount.

Roy Lee and Dan Lin are producing It, as are Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg of KatzSmith Production.

A best-selling book when it was published in 1986, It, like The Stand, is one of King’s biggest and most dense tomes, and the plan is for Fukunaga and Palmer to adapt the work into two films.

Warners picked up the rights in 2009 and originally intended to adapt it into a single movie.

Jon Silk is co-producing.

Which movie will have the pre-teen gang bang so I can skip that one?
klutzy_girl 8th-Jun-2012 01:56 am (UTC)

starry_niights 8th-Jun-2012 01:59 am (UTC)

there was a gang bang in the first movie?
klutzy_girl 8th-Jun-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
Not the movie, the book.
ztrellitaa 8th-Jun-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
That fucked me up so bad, I wasn't prepared for that when I read it at 14.
punishermax 8th-Jun-2012 02:04 am (UTC)
For those wondering:

In the book, as little kids in order to like, "BOND FOREVER" or some shit, Beverly lets all of the boys, one after another fuck her in the sewers. This is done in, not graphic, but gross enough detail,m like which boy has the biggest dick and so on.

Came into this thread to say EXACTLY this.
loverelapse 8th-Jun-2012 03:25 am (UTC)

Wait, what?

I don't remember that being in the book. At all. *may have blocked it out of my mind*
loganx2 8th-Jun-2012 01:55 am (UTC)
mmmmmmm Cary.



Why Michelle Williams would break up with this I have no idea.

god damn
hot143chocolate 8th-Jun-2012 01:55 am (UTC)
one of my favorite books of all time
grande_latte 8th-Jun-2012 01:55 am (UTC)
IT is the reason why I HATE clowns. I watched the movie as a child and since then i've been terrified of them.
ztrellitaa 8th-Jun-2012 02:02 am (UTC)
For me it's a combination between this movie/book and having my teenage brother make me watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space when I was like 6.
judeaslinksta 8th-Jun-2012 02:08 am (UTC)
Are you me? My brother thought it would be hilarious to rent Killer Klowns and IT when he was babysitting me. I was 3 years old. Not cool. And on my 19th birthday I was at a bar and KKFOS was playing on a huge screen behind the bar. :s
britnik2 8th-Jun-2012 02:22 am (UTC)
I watched Killer Klowns as a kid and found it fuckin hilarious.

PIZZA!!!

are you afraid of the dark is the reason i hate clowns
klutzy_girl 8th-Jun-2012 01:55 am (UTC)
I'm in! I can't wait for this, tbh.

And leave out THAT scene, thank you very much. No one wants that.
safaiagem 8th-Jun-2012 01:55 am (UTC)
ONCE WAS ENOUGH. FUCK THIS MOVIE.
maryhurt 8th-Jun-2012 02:28 am (UTC)
oooooh I love your icon :)

These three always look so perfect together, too bad Carrey ruined the movie.
canuckgirl33 8th-Jun-2012 05:01 am (UTC)
For real
josiefier 8th-Jun-2012 01:55 am (UTC)
Confession time: I've never seen the original. Yet I still have no plans to see this. I don't deal with clowns, unless it's The Joker and/or Harley.
yummyhead2toe 8th-Jun-2012 01:58 am (UTC)
Me neither. I lost interest when I found out he was some sort of alien thing... I wanted him to be a ghoul or something.
executivehpfan 8th-Jun-2012 01:59 am (UTC)
It terrified me as a kid but watching it as an adult cracked my shit up.
soul_amazinn 8th-Jun-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
I saw the original movie for the first time when I was like 5 or 6. It's hilarious watching it as an adult.
cricketgrl 8th-Jun-2012 02:28 am (UTC)
The Joker in TAS (Especially the first season) used to creep me the fuck out because they used that Yellow Submarine'ish animation for him.
shania_cares 8th-Jun-2012 04:04 am (UTC)
everything in B:TAS was kind of dark and creepy. Our tv used to be in the basement, and if someone turned out the lights while I was watching it I'd freak the fuq out.
leopard_legs 8th-Jun-2012 01:17 pm (UTC)
I've seen it once and I refuse to watch it again
The whole thing was utterly terrifying
dragoncrab88 9th-Jun-2012 01:05 am (UTC)
The original actually isn't bad, could've been better though. They left a lot out and I'm hoping this remake will add more in this time around.

But yea if you hate clowns, probably not a good idea to see either.
jess_sayin 8th-Jun-2012 01:55 am (UTC)
this shit going down like four flat tires.
michelleantonia 8th-Jun-2012 04:30 am (UTC)
LMFAO
animalyears 8th-Jun-2012 01:56 am (UTC)
stupid.
rowan_belle 8th-Jun-2012 01:56 am (UTC)
I was always found the original movie too ridiculous to be scary. Especially that giant robotic spider at the end. And the talking head in the refrigerator, lol.
kapuki234 8th-Jun-2012 02:00 am (UTC)
me too. the cheesy acting also ruined it.
crucified 8th-Jun-2012 02:10 am (UTC)
Me too.
dragoncrab88 9th-Jun-2012 01:07 am (UTC)
Ha I actually found the talking head in the fridge really freaky, but I agree about the spider they need to work on that this time around.
pennyroyaltea 8th-Jun-2012 01:57 am (UTC)
I found the movie to be really boring. I've heard great things about the book though. Is it worth reading?
klutzy_girl 8th-Jun-2012 01:58 am (UTC)
Yes!
pennyroyaltea 8th-Jun-2012 01:59 am (UTC)
I just don't want my image of the clown ruined by the movie. I didn't find it to be scary lol
babysinclair 8th-Jun-2012 02:00 am (UTC)
YES
kapuki234 8th-Jun-2012 02:00 am (UTC)
it was soooo boring.
punishermax 8th-Jun-2012 02:00 am (UTC)
It's arguably the best King book and one of the best horror books ever written.
devlinacardigan 8th-Jun-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
The book is really scary. Don't judge on the movie.
brosling 8th-Jun-2012 02:02 am (UTC)
it's terrifying and rly good and the way king writes kids is spectacular

the adult parts are p boring but w.e
angel_dust_fury 8th-Jun-2012 02:14 am (UTC)
It was boring imo.
sjcolorado 8th-Jun-2012 02:38 am (UTC)
The book was soooo good! Give it a read.
leopard_legs 8th-Jun-2012 01:18 pm (UTC)
You can have my copy of it, it's been on my shelf for about 4 years and I'm still too afraid to read it
tink_1326 8th-Jun-2012 04:25 pm (UTC)
omg, the book is fucking amazing. The movie is an insult to that book.
dragoncrab88 9th-Jun-2012 01:08 am (UTC)
Yes it's one of King's best
mondengel 10th-Jun-2012 01:47 am (UTC)
I'm currently rereading it, and my answer is yes.
deadendqueen16 8th-Jun-2012 01:57 am (UTC)
No movie fucked me up more as a kid than this one. I still can't watch it without immediately watching RHPS to remind myself that Tim Curry is a fierce motherfucker and not a creature from my nightmares.
grande_latte 8th-Jun-2012 02:00 am (UTC)
it took me until my sophomore yearin college to finally watch RHPS again cuz i was so scared of it when i watched it as a kid by accident on tv. it gave me nightmares for weeks.
monsieurflynn 8th-Jun-2012 01:57 am (UTC)
tbh the original was really dumb/corny. and i say this as a person who is insanely afraid of clowns and the novel. so i'm excited to see how this turns out.
brosling 8th-Jun-2012 01:57 am (UTC)
lol good on them for finally realizing they couldn't possibly condense the entire story into one movie
mondengel 10th-Jun-2012 01:48 am (UTC)
The original was actually a two-part miniseries for TV.
