The book-to-film adaptation of Stephen King’s It has just confirmed its release date for September 8th, 2017. Directed by Andy Muschietti (Mama), the movie will be filming in Toronto throughout the summer.
Last year we reported that Will Poulter (The Maze Runner, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) was still in the mix for the role of Pennywise, the demonic clown. “Will Poulter would be a great option. For me he is at the top of my list,” Muschietti firmed up.
“King described 50s’ terror iconography,” he added. “And I feel there’s a whole world now to rediscover, to update. There won’t be mummies, werewolves. Terrors are going to be a lot more surprising.”
As of yet, there is no official cast. We’ll be keeping a close eye on things.
