Stephen King's "It" Adaptation to be Rated RPosted: April 6th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
It was recently announced that Warner Bros has started work on a big screen adaptation of Stephen King's popular novel "It," about a group of kids who encounter a creature dressed as a clown that preys on children.
DreadCentral now caught up with writer David Kajganich (The Invasion), who is tasked with putting together the script for the new film, which might end up being R-rated.
"The remake will be set in the mid-1980s and in the present almost equally -- mirroring the twenty-odd-year gap King uses in the book -- and with a *great* deal of care and attention paid to the backstories of all the characters," said Kajganich. "I think the real twist here is that my pitch to WB -- which they've assured me they're on board for -- is that this will not be PG-13. This will be R. Which means we can really honor the book and engage with the traumas (both the paranormal ones and those they deal with at home and school) that these character endure."
He continued: "I plan to be very protective of the book. The reality, though, is that WB wants to do this as a single film, so I will have to kill a few darlings to make that happen. You have my promise, though, that I will do this with the utmost humility and respect for King's work. He's the King, after all, and I intend to continue to pledge to him my allegiance."

IT is impossible to faithfully adapt into a feature film. I look forward to seeing what they do with it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Well if they wanted to faithfully adapt it it had to be rated R, this is a good first step. Oh, adapt Cell already! Tell Eli Roth to shot or get off the pot!

I can see this done very well in a tighter film...I love the PG original but come on- there's WAY too much unneeded exposition in the 3 hour film and the ONLY reason it was that length was because they needed a mini series to fit perfectly into 3 TV time slots... They can soooooo make a 2 hour version of this thing that's lightyears better than the TV production.

Sounds like it'll be good, even though the first (original) was great but maybe now they'll get more across that they didnt in the 1st. It needs to be way creepy and fucked up, on edge of your seat never know whats coming around the corner stuff. Just need to re-cast Tim Currey (maybe) he did great with what material they had in the original and with this new one he could probably do even better.
