KPOPSTARZ: IT movie slated for 2015

kpopstarz.com headlines that it has confirmed that the IT movie is confirmed for 2015.  Written and directed by Cary Fukunaga together with Chase Palmer who'll be co-writing the screenplay.

The article says that the movie adapation will be "revamped based on two-part series."  The article repeats that format note at the end, stating, "Warner Bros. earned the rights in 2009 where the original plan is to remake the film into a single movie but has now change into a two-part series following the story of the original TV series from ABC."

This seems a bit strange to me, since IT is a single story.  Can it be broken theatrically into two parts?  We'll see.  In many ways it's good news, since the book is very big and would struggle work as a single film.  (Producers of The Stand should take note)

  2. nope. It was a war just to stay on the page, fight off the popups and get the info. I didn't stick around to see if it could eat my computer.

  3. Not to mention, most of the info was old; except the idea that the film might be two parts. That's new. But what they really wanted to talk about was the miniseries.

  4. The fact that it's planned in 2 parts is not new either ;-)
