I love, love, LOVE this movie. This is very exciting news!!

Ya know, it's great that some of the Stephen King movies are going to be remade. God knows that I'm a fan of em'. But why doesn't somebody get off of their duff and GET THE DARK TOWER MOVIES AND TV SERIES GOING!!??

rumor/news Stephen King has sold his movie rights. Hence the flood of remakes ie.,carrie, it, the stand, ext. Bad thing about this, he has no say on what they do with his movies In turn they could make It a teenmance. Also the lovely mpaa has deemed that teens are our number 1 media consumer so they might make kings movies PG-13. Anyone who has watched any of Kings movies knows they were not made for kids. I truly hope they do not massacre these movies just so kids can watch them.

I loved the first one.It was not over the top.It did well for its time.But with the new one,they need an actor to play the infamous "It" but i think Joseph Bruce should.He has that sly voice that sounds tempting,Hes a big scary looking guy and I think that he would be best.

Hopefully either Tim Curry or someone who can live up to his painted greatness will play It/Pennywise. ...Oh and btw, I think Seth Green should play the grown up version of the character he played in the original.

Tim Curry played pennywise the best. I hope they get him to do this one.

i never thought this evil clown would resurect from childhood memory lane i gotta say altho i like insane clown posse but dis clown still freak me da hell out!!!!!!!!1

I personaly like remake yes i do agree they have been suckish lately but also people have to remember alot of them as of late are supposed to be more along the lines of a retelling like halloween would not have been so bad if it wasnt a remake but rob zombie needs to stop makeig movies he sucks at it. anyway i say yes deffinatly remake this and im also a huge fan of maximum overdrive i love that movie and yes i recently discovered they r remaking it.

I hope this movie rocks! "It" is my all time fav Stephen King book and movie. Iv read it like a dozen times and seen it even more. I wore out 2 video tapes from watching it so much when I was younger lol. They better get it right in making it or theres gonna be some pissed off people. DON'T RUIN A CLASSIC!!!!

This looks like its going to be an awesomely creepy new clown movie. Its called "Clown" and Eli Roth is making it . So after watching the trailer tell me what you all think

Meh, i got bored about a half hour or so into the original so I put Cujo in. At least that Stephen king film had some fear elements in it. And while Im at it, since theyre remaking king films, why not remake maximum Overdrive?

I will be the first to say that I hate remakes but I can't wait to see this one.The original was ok but a little on the corney side.Something about clowns freaks people the fuck out and I love it.I want to see more movies based on clowns.

Out of all Stephen Kings books Cujo was my favorite and I realy hope they remake Cujo too

This movie is going to theatres? Hmmmm...I wonder if this is a bad idea, because of all the other King adaptations that have fell short as of late,of course The Mist is an exception. The screen writer will have to do a great job of either condensing the storyline or making it a long movie. But it is possible to make a King classic awesome. Lets just pray and hope that this movie is not another attempt to only cash in on a horror legend's name. If this movie is done right--the director and writer take their time to make this movie true to the novel--it will kick the crap out of a lot remakes that are said to come out.
But we can only be paitent and wait for what's to come my friends. Hey, if this remake doesn't work out, at least ten years from this remakes release, they can do a third go around of IT. Ah, as optimistic as I am, I will be at the midnight showing of this grueling, horrific tale. As the saying goes, "Long live the King," Stephen King that is.

The best way to make this movie is to send this movie off to a network like HBO, SHOWTIME etc... With networks like that you can do a full on mini series and keep a majority of the book in tact. For the length and depth of this book, mini series is the only way to go.

I really hope they don't mess this movie up as they have with many remakes. I don't get where people say the original sucked or was boring. I personally saw this movies for the first time when I was 8, I still won't walk near a sewer grate and was terrified of penny wise until I relied it was just Frankfurter from Rocky Horror Picture show. But there are areas that could be improved on, such as the for mentioned length of the move and having more of them being kids, and please bring more of the story line from the book into it.

If you haven't read the book, you should really go that route before placing any judgment on this film. The miniseries did lack a few key elements from the novel and suffered from it. But, the new writer claims that he is taking his time on the script to make sure that all key aspects of the book are covered this time and to really pay his respects to Stephen King. I'm really excited but still feel that the two hours that Warner Bros. is giving him is not near enough time to cover the whole story and that the movie may feel rushed. Be that as it may, I'm definitely going to see this. By the way, Heath Ledger would have been an excellent choice for the Pennywise role.

I think Robert Englund should be pennywise he is a good actor and i will watch any movie with him in it even if it sucks because hes that good. Also he could make it realy creepy and funny kinda like the orginal freddy. Who's with me?

First off, I am pumped to see this remade! I hope it is a wee bit shorter but still doesnt skim out alot of the details because I am a fan of the miniseries but it was time consuming. My vote for Pennywise is Jackie Earle Hayley (Watchemn, Nightmare on Elm Street, Shutter Island), or Rory Cochrane (A Scanner Darkly). In A Scanner Darkly, Cochrane played Charles Freck and he was a nutcase, take Freck, tweak him to be less twitchy and more creepy, slap on the Pennywise outfit, add to the gore and you've got yourself one hella scary clown.

Theres some things about the IT movie i liked and some things i didn't. The first thing i didn't like was the ending with the large spider creature, i didn't like some of the elements it used against the kids like using something that scared them when they were younger, i beleive one of them was a were wolf from a movie wich brings some cheese to it. I wouldn't have a adult cast battaling IT but would focus on the kids trying to find out what they can do to stop it. For obvious reasons if a clown like it apeard in the sewers offering a balloon to a kid these days they would just laugh so if they r bringing it up to date for 2011 they need to think more carefully about how pennywise actualy got the kids r they could do a backstory of pennywise who played at partys for kids but no one relised what he was and because he was a fun clown at there partys he seemed trust worthy when they sore him outside wich could benefit the movie if they wanted to keep the great scene of him in the sewer offering a ballon to the young boy. I would also like to see more gore and sharp teeth on the clown than changeing into a giant spider r his eyes just glow white and you dont see anything. The lake and factory that was in the original movie would be a great place to shoot for this movie to be set with the bodys of the missing children floating up from the lake would be very scary...ie... they alll floooaaat!!!

The made for TV version wasn't terrible in my book, but it wasn't great by any stretch. It certainly doesn't age well, and the fact that far too much of the book was left out bothers me. In the novel, Pennywise mainly takes the appearance of a clown, but also feeds on the children's worst fears by taking form of what they're most scared by. When one of the kids is chased through the town by a giant Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox statue, it's incredibly terrifying, as is his wolfman transformation. The film didn't even touch any of his history, either, such as the Army Base invasion (appearing as a giant Phoenix) that has a cameo from Dick Halloran, the chef from The Shining, or the Easter egg hunt where children are killed in an abandoned factory.

This, and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, are the only two remakes that I can actually agree with. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

The 90's Tv Original adaptation of the book was, in my perception, scary (when i was a lad) however, now that I have seen the movie in my teen years, it is horrible, I only hope that this adaptation is good and they don't mess it up.

Im sorry to all who think the movie is boring but this movie scares me to death I hate clowns and I just do not think its boring it gave me nightmares for weeks.
