First of all, I apologise about the rather poor title I have chosen for this post. I was trying to think of something amusing and this made me chuckle a bit, so I stuck with it. Probably a bad decision, but life is full of disappointments.
It has come to my attention in the last day or so that Warner Brothers plan to adapt Stephen King’s IT into a feature length motion picture. Details are pretty much non existent at the moment. But the real question is: do we really want this? For me, it is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it would be interesting to see how they could adapt Stephen King’s rather long book (over 1,000 pages) into a workable, two hour feature. Maybe three hours. The flip side of the coin is that the original mini series is excellent (yes, it is and you know it) and it would be a crying shame if a movie were to spoil it. Can you really imagine anyone else other than the legendary Tim Curry portraying Pennywise the terrifying, yet somehow lovable, clown?
I’m not too sure at this point in time. One thing you can take to the bank: this definitely won’t be one for clown haters.
