Can they leave just ONE of my favorite horror movies alone? Just one original left untouched? No, too much to ask for.

i actually think this could be good as i felt the tv version had lots of faults (curry was great but the adult actors were very weak)

I just think that making anything king writes a movie should not be done. Soon we'll see dark tower, and that kinda just sucked at book three...

Agreed 100%.

I haven't read the book, but the original TV version - despite having LOTS of great elements - was pretty flawed. Pennywise was amazing, but the parts without him were fairly weak. I'll watch the remake for sure.

its funny - i read the book and liked it but remember thinking that the sections with the kids were great - but the sections with the adults were lame and cardboard. . . then, i felt the exact same way about the movie - the kids and pennywise were amazing - the walton johnboy sections were laughable

Yeh it was pretty dumbed down. Hopefully this will deliver on what was left out.
It's gonna be a pretty long flick if its a faithful adaption.

Well, the part when they were children was great... The adult scenes... Not so much.

Such poor casting. The movie really predicted the future when it showed how much more engaging Seth Green was than Harry Anderson.

The novel was previously adapted into a 1990 ABC miniseries.

Kajganich is also writing "Escape From New York" for Neal Moritz and New Line and "True Story" for Plan B to produce at Paramount Vantage, with Kevin McDonald attached to direct.

i hope it's as good as the original movie, tim curry's acting as pennywise was creepy and awesome.
