The future big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's It has moved from Warner Brothers to New Line Cinema. Warner Brothers has been working on the project for five years, and even hired Cary Fukunaga (True Detective) to direct two films produced Roy Lee, Dan Lin, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg.
According to various reports, New Line Cinema still plans to release It in two installments (two feature-length films).
The news about the new development was reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
In 1990, It was also adapted for TV. Warner Brothers released the TV Mini-Series on DVD. Here's the official synopsis for the DVD release: The Master of Horror unleashes everything you were ever afraid of.
It can be anything. A fanged monster that won't stay on the movie screen. Something ominous lurking in the basement. No matter what your biggest fear is, no one knows It better than Stephen King.
Based on King's 1986 bestseller, It is a jittery, jolting excursion into personal fear starring Harry Anderson, Annette' O'Toole, John Ritter, and Richard Thomas. A malevolent force in a small New England town takes the shape of a clown (Tim Curry), but he's not clowning around. Instead, he terrifies youngsters and brings some to their untimely doom- until some wily kids fight back. The evil resurfaces 30 years later: meaner, angrier, deadlier. And friends who vividly remember youthful terrors reunite to battle It.
