Collider talked to the producer of the remake (Roy Lee) about the film:

- Still going to be two films: one from the POV of the characters as kids, the other from the characters POV as adults.

- The new writers, Gary Doberman and Andy Muscetti, have rewritten Cary Fukunaga and Chase Palmer’s original script.

- They are working on the final draft of the script to make it fit the movie's budget.

- Lee makes the following claim: “It is very close to the source material in one way but very different if you look at it as a literary piece of work".

- Shooting is expected to start this year now that the studio has secured the California tax credit.

- The movie will be rated R.

If Poulter falls through, I wouldn't mind them giving Hugo Weaving a call :manuehh:

We got a release date, brehs :wow:

Well guys, IT is finally official with a release date! The massive achievement hailed as one of Stephen King’s greatest literary horrors, was officially announced today per Warner Bros. Studios that the film will hit theaters on September 8th, of 2017.

After a delay on the project with the parting of director Cary Fukunaga, the future of the film seemed uncertain for a while. Then we got the announcement Mama director Andy Muschietti would be taking on the two-part film project along with a script rewrite by himself and Gary Dauberman. At this time, it is unknown whether front-runner for the role of Pennywise, originally played by legendary Tim Curry, Will Poulter, is still a go for the nightmarish monster of Derry.

If those of you reading are unsure of whether this version will actually follow the book closer than its predecessor 90’s miniseries, Producer Roy Lee had this to say to Entertainment Weekly:

“It is very close to the source material in one way but very different if you look at it as a literary piece of work. We’re taking it and making the movie from the point of view of the kids, and then making another movie from the point of view of the adults, that could potentially then be cut together like the novel. But it’s gonna be a really fun way of making this movie.”

Now, I’m not knocking the 90’s miniseries, but I have to digress… I’d love to see Pennywise in his true form minus the awful spider puppetry. Take him all the way with no half measures and I’ll be satisfied!

Stephen King's 'It' Adaptation Finds Its Pennywise the Clown (Exclusive)

Bill Skarsgard has the It factor.

The actor, who is one of the stars of Hemlock Grove, has nabbed the role of Stephen King’s iconic villain Pennywise the Clown in New Line’s adaptation of the author’s landmark novel It.

Skarsgard is in final negotiations to star in the horror pic, whose cast will also include St. Vincent actor Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor.

Andy Muschietti, the helmer behind the surprise horror hit Mama, is directing the adaptation, which is being told in two parts. Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith, David Katzenberg and Barbara Muschietti are producing.

The story follows a group of teens called the Losers Club who defeat a creature called It. Years later, the creature returns, and the former club members, now adults, have to band together again even though they have no memory of the first battle.

New Line’s first movie will tell the kids’ story, while the second movie will focus on the adults.

Pennywise is the form the evil entity frequently takes. He is a clown who, when he smiles, is all killer teeth.

The project was originally coming together under the direction of Cary Fukunaga, who left over creative differences, and at the time, Will Poulter (We’re the Millers, The Revenant) was to have played Pennywise. The search for a new director pushed the movie by a year and Poulter was no longer available.

Jon Silk is executive producing It. Richard Brener, Walter Hamada and Dave Neustadter are overseeing the project for New Line.

Skarsgard is the son of Stellan Skarsgard (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and the brother of Alexander Skarsgard, who stars in Warner Bros.' Legend of Tarzan this summer. Apart from Hemlock Grove, Bill Skarsgard has appeared in Lionsgate’s Divergent.

He is repped by WME and Magnolia Entertainment.
