It Is Creeping to Theatres

Pennywise is ready for his close-up.

Warner Bros finally got their rights for Stephen King’s It, the latest to be remade among the many films scattered about recently. Dave Kajgnich (The Invasion) is set to pen the flick, as well as the Pet Sementary and Escape to New York remake. You walk to talk about a busy writer, try being him for a day and see how it feels.

The upcoming film, based off of one of King’s most popular horror novels of the same title, is a story about a group of kids called the Losers Club that encounter a creature called It, which preys on children and whose 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.

The film is backed up not only by Warner Bros but also Vertigo Entertainment and Lin Pictures. We’ll keep you up to date for more Pennywise goodness to keep you pissing in your pants. Whoever saw the Stephen King’s It miniseries when they were a kid were all terrified of Tim Curry wearing that clown make-up added on with fangs and bloody balloons (including myself).
