IT's a New Movie

According to Scifiwire.com, Warner Brothers is making a movie version of IT. Several key elements have been revealed:

1. The dates have been changed to move the modern scenes forward. That's disappointing, since the 1950's was a cool time frame to set the sections of the story with the kids.

2. The studio has promised a "No PG-13." Which means they will go out on the gore and fear. One of the things missing when ABC did their mini-series.

3. It is being done for the big screen. Which of course causes the immediate question: How can they get the novel, over 1,000 pages to be fairly represented in such a short time frame?
