Based on a Stephen King novel, It became an all-time horror movie classic, and it traumatized a whole generation of children and adolescents who, starting from the film, saw with different eyes every clown that crossed their path.
Almost 20 years after its release, Warner Bros. Studios announced the remake of It, according to information published by The Hollywood Reporter. The original tape dates from 1990, and was broadcast directly on television.
With some licenses for King's novel (especially in the outcome), the film version followed the adventures of a group of 12-year-old boys who self-authored The Losers Club. One day, the little ones run into the sinister clown Pennywise, which begins to stalk them. As adults, they will discover that it is an extraterrestrial creature, and Losers Club will come back to stop It.
The only confirmation is hiring Dave Kajganich (The Invasion, Pet Sematary) as a screenwriter. There is still no director, no cast, no production date, although it is known that it will be set in the present. The producers will be Lin Pictures and Vertigo Entertainment, funded by Warner Brothers.
