Hilarious how people attempt to debunk our scoops – even when they always end up being dead on. Man, even when a studio or star openly deny a report, we know the truth, which is the reason we run the story in the first place.
Take It for example.
This past Memorial Day news broke that “True Detective” director Cary Fukunaga had exited the latest film adaptation of the Stephen King’s It.
We followed up with an exclusive report that promised a new director within weeks.
Now, word comes in via Heat Vision that New Line Cinema has set Mama‘s Andy Muschietti to bring Pennywise to the big screen.
It was to have started shooting in late June and a new start date remains unclear. Upon closing of Muschietti’s deal, New Line will begin a search for a new writer to tailor a script to Muschietti’s vision, adds the site. The plan is for the adaptation to still take place over two parts.
No word on if Will Poulter is still cast to play the villainous clown “Pennywise”.
In 1960, seven outcast kids known as “The Loser Club” fight an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown. 30 years later, they are called back to fight the same clown again.
Fukunaga’s vision for It was to create two separate films, one which tackled the protagonists as children and the second film to focus on them as adults.
