yes i liked the old movie it, but i watched the movie a while ago and i think it would be good to revamp it. i would love to see a remake with a new look to it.but i love tim curry as penny wise.

Yea, He really made the movie

Now this is a remake I would definitely see! I didn't care too much for the original so seeing how that would mix stuff up would be cool

Tim Curry will be impossible to replace as Pennywise, but I do think IT would be worth revamping. It's one's of King's best novels. And this time, I wanna see a giant turtle and the dead lights.

Also, I think a law needs to be passed that only Frank Daranbot should be allowed to adapt Stephen King's material. He's the only one who can do any justice at all to King's work.

Having said all that . . . no matter who does it, no matter how terrible it may be, I'll be on board to see it. Because I'm a diehard Stephen King fan girl.

I wouldn't mind them remaking it, as long as they did it right. I hate when the remakes suck a$$, because in-a-way, it's like they're harming the actual movie that they tried to improve. And alot of times, if the remakes suck, then people won't want to take the time to watch the actual one; thinking that it's bad just like the remake. But if they do it right, it could be interesting and maybe even good.

I hope a lot of people don't think that way. That's a pretty ignorant and lazy way of thinking if you ask me.

Sad thing is, alot of people I know do think that way. I've been trying to get them to open up and watch the movies, but they refuse to. Grrr...So many people I know are super narrow-minded :mad:

Same here. A lot of people i know, especially those my age, don't seem to want to watch older movies which is a real shame.

That is soo true and I know exactly what you mean. It's like alot of people don't have appreation(sp) for the older ones. Even though the older ones- I feel- were alot better at times, since they left alot more to your imgination(sp) and ended up being better for it. When now they show you every little thing, and it kinda ruins the effects that the movies are trying to achieve.
Ps. Sorry if my spelling sucks today.

Sometimes i like it when they leave things to your imagination, other times i don't but usually i enjoy the older movies because there just seems to be more respect, emotion and passion involved with them instead of the money driven machines we have making some movies nowadays. Don't worry about the spelling, my grammar is always messed up. ;)

Back to the original point, if they do in fact make this i hope it stays true to the novel and i hope they get someone good to play Pennywise. As much as i enjoyed Tim Curry there really is no point on reusing him because we've seen that already and the point of a remake is to do things differently.

That was another reason I've always liked the older ones too. The people who were in them, did it because they love acting and wanted to be in a movie. Now they just do it for a paycheck and its annoying because it doesn't have the same effect at all. And very true, hopefully they'll pick someone good who wants to do it because they love acting, rather than, once again; for the paycheck.

Oh, I so can't wait until this comes out. I'll be watching it for a sure fact. Let's hope it will be near as good as the original. Still need to read the book, though. Will SK be producing or anything? I haven't really bothered nosing around for news on it all.

Wow!
 

Hello,
That sounds interesting.
I loved the original film!
Let's see what comes out of it!:)

very true actors worked so much harder back then, i love the old movies as much as new. back then alot more was left to your imagination so the acting and story had to be good, and i still love watching black and white movies, and i love technicolor movies.

I agree with that so much! A while ago I had this whole rant on why I like the older horror movies better; People actually doing it because they loved acting, not just for the paycheck; it left much more to your imagination since you could come up with something 20x scarier then that they could show you; ectect. Now when I see some movies it's like "well this was clearly a movie that they did just for the monies, not because they like to act".

Does anyone know where this film is at in production?

It is supposed to be out this year but I can't find any news on it online and we've only got a few months left.

I hope they redo the blood-balloon scene. So simple but so... is there a word for awesome and creepy? ;)

Have you checked on www.imdb.com?

Its not there as far as I can see, the old one is, but no mention of the new one.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1396484/

BLAMMO!!!

It's there, but there isn't much info:

You beat me to "It" Villain. :p

Haha yes!! :D

Thanks guys. I tried searching for Stephen King and Stephen King's It and Stephen King's IT New and NEW IT and it didnt occur to me to look for 2012.

Champion.

I just did a title search for "It."

When I did that it automatically took me to the 1990's version's page. Weird.

IMDB does that with some films-it's happened to me a few times.

That's the exact same thing i did.

Clowns are always scary. I never liked them as a kid, and that was before I ever read or saw IT! And, yeah, Pennywise the dancing clown didn't help me love them any more.

IT the miniseries started off well, but it really kind of fell apart and the ending was totally lame. Hopefully the remake does it well.

Very few of King's novels have been turned into great movies. Some may say the Shining is the best of his works to make it to the big screen, but my favorite is the Dead Zone. (Stand by Me is excellent, but discounting that here since it's non-horror.)

Any other favorites?

But most people would agree that Shawshank Redemption is the best King adaption ever. Coz it is. :D

No you're wrong dude. Everyone knows Maximum Overdrive is the finest SK feature.

I've waited on a remake to this! Hope it's fucking scary!

I agree that Maximum Overdrive is too underrated-great movie. Pet Sematary is the best tho

I like both of those. I also think Cujo, Firestarter, The Tommyknockers, and Carrie were really good.

I loved Firestarter and Carrie but wasn't too keen on the Tommyknockers-haven't seen Cujo yet though.

You should check it out. It's pretty good although i still prefer the book better.

Not read the book either but yeah I'll check it out.

I think charlie Sheen should play Pennywise, but I think they could for one shorten it and make a more intence connnection between pennywise and the charactors, like maybe suduces the women or something

I think that's the worst idea i've ever heard

Yea.. Sound's like Two And A Half Men all over.

LOL exactly :)

IT is back for the big screen
 

IT has a new director, check it out: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...pted-by-334899
