Why doesn’t this mention that, um, It was already made into a movie. Tim Curry, anyone? Am I missing something?
The problem with “It” – and it became crystal clear in the mini-series is the ending. It was the problem with the book and that is why “It” should be left alone. You’ve told a great, interesting and suspensful story that culminates with nothing more than a scary spider. This is a bad idea.
yeah, there was already a movie. I’ve seen it and my friends had nightmares about it. Maybe it’s just a re-make and they’re trying to modern-ize it, like Prom Night and such.
It was a tremendous book for 96% of it – the ending was wretched! Pennywhistle the demonic clown? Terrifying – “We all float down here” gives me the shivers just to think of it! Big spider? Stuuupiiiiddd – write a new ending.
yes they mention the fact that the book was made into a tv mini series. they are remaking it into a feature film. so it will be a whole lot shorter and much of the book will probable be left out, because of time constraints.
