    More details on the IT remake



    DC spoke with writer Dave Kajganich (Invasion, Creek) recently, where he revealed a bit more on where the project is headed in terms of story and mentions how this will definitely be a Rated R effort. Here's what he had to say:

    "The remake will be set in the mid-1980s and in the present almost equally -- mirroring the twenty-odd-year gap King uses in the book -- and with a *great* deal of care and attention paid to the backstories of all the characters. I think the real twist here is that my pitch to WB -- which they've assured me they're on board for -- is that this will not be PG-13. This will be R. Which means we can really honor the book and engage with the traumas (both the paranormal ones and those they deal with at home and school) that these character endure."

    He adds... "I plan to be very protective of the book. The reality, though, is that WB wants to do this as a single film, so I will have to kill a few darlings to make that happen. You have my promise, though, that I will do this with the utmost humility and respect for King's work. He's the King, after all, and I intend to continue to pledge to him my allegiance."

    I still liked the original, but I'm still curious to see how this will turn out though. Glad to see that it got an R-rating. :thumbup3:

    I love the original :nod:
    If there is going to be a remake you would hope writers, producers, directors, etc. are passionate about the project and have respect for the original.
    That seems like the case here ... Hopefully
    I feel this movie is going to be darker and more true to the novel.
    Which i think is the best direction to go.
    I'd rather have a completely different movie than a shot for shot remake.
    I'm actually pretty excited

    Tim Curry was a creepy ass clown. I wonder who plays the new one.

    My only hope is that whoever plays Pennywise is at least somewhere in the ballpark of "Creepy as hell" like Tim's portrayal was.

    They could always get Tim Curry back as Pennywise.I Think it's gonna be difficult getting someone to fill in his shoes on this.He scared the fuck out of me when I first saw it.

    I liked Tim Curry as Pennywise. He scares the hell out of me. This project sounds like it will do the book justice....I'm really looking forward to this one.

    Couldn't agree more. Only thing I hated more than the movie was the boring ass book. Could really care less about this, unless the murdering is brutally relentless.

    Well they replaced Freddy, so I see no reason why they wouldn't replace Pennywise

    I wasn't a big fan of the original. I think a lot of it had to do with the made-for-tv tone of the entire project.

    Also, I had been familiar with Curry's other work at the time. It's difficult to be scared of a clown when you've seen him in drag. Harry Anderson was still in his prime, though, and a real joy to watch.

    I'll be curious about the new movie.

    I generally liked the cast, as a whole.

    Have to say, I really never had any Rocky Horror flashbacks watching Curry portray Pennywise...
