Stephen King's It is coming to the big screen!!!

Warner Bros. recently bought the rights to the thriller which tracks the story of It, a transforming creature who "preys on children and whose favorite form is that of a sadistic clown called Pennywise."

The script will be adapted to current day opposed to the novel's timeline of 1958 and 1985.

It was previously turned into a TV miniseries for ABC in the late 80's starring John Ritter and Tim Curry, but no casting choices have been announced as of yet for the film version.

Have they tapped Her Madgesty to play the the red-nosed clown???

      Radiohead have entered an unlikely war of words with Miley Cyrus.
      A week after the Hannah Montana star vowed to "ruin" the multi-Grammy winning band over an apparent snub, the Brit rockers have responded by telling the Disney star to grow up, Us Weekly reports.
      The spat took hold after the recent Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
      Miley attempted to meet the band only to be told that they "don't really do that", she told a radio station.
      "I left ’cause I was so upset. I wasn't going to watch them. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm going to ruin them. I'm going to tell everyone," she added.
      Responding to the threat, Radiohead told US Weekly: "When Miley grows up, she'll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement."
      LOL RADIOHEAD ROCK FOR THIS - MILEY NEEDS TO GROW UP

    42. 42

      43

      This was a movie ? I watched it when I was like 7, I haven't looked at clowns the same since. I once saw one driving a car, I shit a brick man. :|

    44. UGH! says – reply to this


      44

      Re: lilprincess – Ditto!!! When I was younger, my cousins used to put red balloons with the writing on them in front of my door, knock, and vanish as I watched the movie.. laugh's on them ’cause I wasn't scared!!!

    45. UGH! says – reply to this


      45

      Yes, he totally failed to mention it already was a movie.. Remake, remake, remakes. Can't anyone come up with anything decent & original now-a-days?!?!



    46. 46

      AH fuck me….i still hate clowns to this day because of pennywise….nothing is creapier than a child eatting clown!!!!



    47. 47

      wwwwwwwwwww



    48. 48

      Thats awesome!! IT is one of my fav Steven King novels and movies. Can't wait for it!!

      49

      This was a great book and really good tv movie too. It will be interesting to see what they can do with it taking it to the big screen for the first time. Can't wait.



    50. 50

      Tim Curry will never be able to be replaced! That man is amazing!!!!!!



    51. 51

      Please God, NO!!!!



    52. 52

      i always was amazed by this tale. i mean, i hate clowns and this one is creepy as hell but for some reason i'm looking forward to the movie.



    53. 53

      God I had nightmares after those miniseries as a kid!



    54. 54

      Re: Lucky33 – I am excited too hopefully they dont botch it tho!



    55. 55

      This movie has made me terrified of showers, drains, and sewers.. not to mention clowns!
      I've always wanted them to re-make this because I think it could be A LOT scarier with some good special effects.

      I'm all for it, hopefully they actually pick a decent cast.



    56. 56

      This will be neat…but clearly, My Cousin's role as young bully was profound and majestic, he'll be impossible to replace ;) haha



    57. 57

      CUTE



    58. 58

      Another bullshit idea from Hollywood.
      Too stupid or too lfucking azy to come up with something original…



    59. 59

      Are you sure that picture is not one of our new Czar, with his smiling face mask off?



    60. 60

      Sorry, my rage was making me blind.
      But again, it's another bullshit idea from Hollywood.
      Too stupid or too fucking lazy to come up with something original…



    61. 61

      The only problem i have is changing the timeline. I love the book and the original movie.



    62. 62

      Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona will have been a great choice for this movie, did anyone see "The Orphanage"?



    63. 63

      The book was way scarier than the movie. Big screen should allow for less censoring. But they shoulda kept the time line. That was integral in undersatnding the characters. Can't wait!



    64. 64

      I rememba watching this as a kid….I believed it played every night for a week straight…my parents let my sisters and I watch this shit, I swear to God I didn't sleep for that whole fucking week…just seeing this poster of the movie made me gasp!!! Don't fuck with this movie please!!!! The 90's version is freaky enough!!



    65. 65

      Nicole Kidman should play pennywise. She sure has the forehead for it. And she's a joke.



    66. 66

      I hate clownzzzzzzzz!!!!



    67. 67

      damn…0.o i loved the original lol, tim curry was the man in that movie….err….miniseries….

      i always loved anything from stephen king….mainly because well..im from Maine…but ive had the oppertunity to meet mr.king before, very down to earth kind of guy… he just randomly showed up to my highschool one day to give an assembly lmao….had nothing to talk about, just walked in the gym all casual "so anyone want to ask me any Qs?"
      got a real kick out of that



    68. 68

      cool but only if they bring Tim Curry back!



    69. 69

      This is one remake I approve of! I always thought it should be on the big screen. Casting will be very interesting, Tim Curry was so great as pennywise though…..



    70. 70

      WTF?! I always thought that version was a movie! I never knew it was a TV miniseries. That shit was so fucking scary! That scene with the kid chasing the boat in the rain and the boat falling into the drain…Shit gave me nightmares 4evah! This one remake I am actually excited to see though!

    71. Joker says – reply to this


      71

      This movie gave me nightmares as a child!
      I don't know how I feel about a remake though.
      It'll be interesting to see.



    72. 72

      Pick me, PICK ME!!! I'd eff this shizz up!!!!
      Xo



    73. 73

      Oh that's so exciting! That book was so terrifying to read….I wonder who they're gonna cast. It better be good!



    74. 74

      Original was horrible, the only saving grace was Tim fuckinCurry. The book will kick your ass!! 1,000 + pages, an adolescent ganbang and a fuckin space turtle that'll never make it into the movie. THEY ALL FLOAT GEORGIE…………



    75. 75

      DO NOT MESS WITH THIS MOVIE. Yes, the book was so much better, but Tim Curry made this role. Attention Hollywood…we don't want to see remakes of good movies…we want to see new movies…ones that aren't based off of something else or a sequal to an old movie. This same thing happened with music a few years back…every song was a remake of an older classic. A few remakes is ok…but when half are remakes…not ok.

      Don't eff with this movie…Pennywise will come and get you. YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!!!!!!



    76. 76

      This has already been a movie can't they think of any new ideas.



    77. 77

      this movie should not be touched! tim curry owned this role as pennywise. a remake would be a terrible idea.



    78. 78

      Scary shIT!!!! That was a great mini series, hope the movie does IT justice!



    79. 79

      I actually thought the Made-for-TV version was pretty good though…



    80. 80

      VADGE CAN DEFINITELY PLAY IT. THE RESEMBLANCE IS UNCANNY.



    81. 81

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ¨Her Madgesty to play the the red-nosed clown???¨



    82. 82

      Please remove this-I'm TERRIFIED of clowns-FOR REAL!



    83. 83

      Sounds good!
      I hope it doesn't turn into some cheesy film.



    84. 84

      Her Madgesty owns all.



    85. 85

      after watching that movie, when i was like 8…i was scared of it for like a 2 years, no joke



    86. 86

      what the flying fuck?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!
      it was WONDERFUL the way it was why the FUCK do they have to mess with it??!?!??!!?
      they better beg tim curry to reprise Pennywise…..he IS Pennywise



    87. 87

      Re: ellebunny – Yeah the ending in the movie was pretty shitty but the ending in the book is different so hopefully the new movie will have the real ending.



    88. 88

      About friggin time. Jeez… I still remember buying that book and how huge the hardcover was.



    89. 89

      Madonna on it would be like so freaking kewl



    90. 90

      They better not fucking TOUCH this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    91. 91

      Have we come to a point where we have to remake every horror movie? Even though this movie scared the hell outta me as a kid.



    92. 92

      I hope that the remake of It can be good as the original version.



    93. 93

      Ummm, this is ALREADY a movie. A TV movie, but still.
      kthanxbye.



    94. 94

      Yes! i loved that movie i saw it wheni wus little and i mad emy mom play it like 3 times idk y im a weirdo can u blam me? i love scary movies



    95. 95

      I both love and hate that movie. it scared me when i was a child and it scares me now some 15 years later.



    96. 96

      i couldn't even read the whole book it FREAKED me out when the clown was down in the sewer …god i get chills just thinking about it



    97. 97

      I dont think it will be as good as the original but as long as Tim Curry plays Pennywise it has potential.



    98. 98

      I love the effing movie and they're just gonna eff it up! SMH

    99. Jekka says – reply to this


      99
