'It' Will Be in Theaters

Stephen King is one of my favorite writers and I have read a lot of his books (he has so many). "It" is an enormous book with the hardback weighing in at 3.3 pounds and totaling in at 1,152 pages.

"It" was made in a television miniseries starring Tim Curry, John Ritter, Harry Anderson, Tim Reid, Annette O’Toole and Richard Thomas.

The story follows a group of kids called the Losers Club that encounter a creature called It, which preys on children and whose favorite form is that of a sadistic clown called Pennywise. When the creature resurfaces, the kids are called upon to regroup again, this time as adults, even though they have no memory of the first battle. In the television original Curry played Pennywise.

Warner Bros. and Vertigo Entertainment have brought in Dave Kajganich to pen an adaptation of King’s 1986 genre classic “It” into a theatrical remake.

I find this intriguing because the series was watered down for television, but all the classic horror from the novel can be brought forth to the silver screen. We will have to wait for more news on casting and clips to see how this will turn out.

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
