I’ve never met anyone who ever found clowns funny. Their hideous big grin and fake belly laugh, their look of knowing something that your not privy to and of masking an evil within, well it’s enough to send a shiver down your spine.
Tim Curry’s was always the worst. In fact in some circles, coulrophobia (the scientific name for a fear of clowns) was partly coined because of his memorable performance in the 1990 made for t.v. movie IT…
After The Joker made Warner Bros. a $1 billion at the box office, the studio have looked into their vault and resurrected plans to make a live action movie out of Stephen King’s best selling 1986 novel IT, about a murderous clown, bumping it’s setting to the modern day.
Dave Kajganich, writer of THE INVASION is adapting what is a 1,000 plus novel, a huge task, especially if he wishes to remain faithful to the source material as the mini-series which ran for over 3 hours, left quite a bit out.
Kajganich had been writing a remake of King’s PET SEMETARY, so either he is done with that script or he got bored and put his focus on another of King’s classics. He is also scripting a remake of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK which has already gone through a few re-drafts since it was announced back in 2007.
Vertigo Entertainment, the studio behind the horror flick THE UNINVITED are producing, alongside Lin Pictures (TERMINATOR SALVATION).

i could understand the texas chain saw massacre reboot. even tho its a classic one can argue that it could use a modern take. and it worked, great. but seriously WTF!!! its getting so out of hand with these reboots that i just really want them to be a big ole pile of f-ing fail! IT?? are u kidding me? i don’t hold movies to deity status but come on! its so unnecessary! when they redo the exorcist, this time with links to the war in iraq im gonna have to crack some skulls basterds style… ugh disgusted!
Jeez, people here can’t be open minded with reboots.
