We keep hearing this and hearing this but this time it sounds a mite more official - Cary Fukunaga will apparently be schlepping his man-braids to the haunted burg of Derry, Maine next year to shoot a big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's It, says producer Dan Lin. There are many issues with the TV adaption from back in the day that could be righted, and I look forward to seeing them probably be righted by such a gifted director (even if I wasn't a fan of True Detective, Cary's direction wasn't really my problem with it), but I don't know how they can improve upon Tim Curry's Pennywise. That's a steep hill to climb, you guys.

the IT miniseries is one of those generational things. It seems to be a touchstone for folks who were in their teens or younger back when it aired. To this day people tell me how frightened by it they were. I was just too old to appreciate it, I guess - anything that didn't have Tim Curry as Pennywise in it just seemed clunky and prosaic (in that made-for-television fashion). I remember a very unscary giant spider at the end. Maybe with a good director at the helm the remake could get down to some serious business.
