Stephen King’s ‘It’ gets an R-rated film iteration; filming begins this year

A new film adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel It is happening after all, and fans might be getting the R-rated iteration we rightfully deserve.

News comes from an article on Collider which reports that the project has now been green-lit, the production being slated sometime this year. There had been plans for an adaptation since early last year, with then-attached director Cary Fukunaga (“True Detective”-creator) leaving as New Line Cinema had pulled the plug. Andy Muscietti is currently onboard to direct the film.

It is very close to the source material in one way but very different if you look at it as a literary piece of work…We’re taking it and making the movie from the point of view of the kids, and then making another movie from the point of view of the adults, that could potentially then be cut together like the novel. But it’s gonna be a really fun way of making this movie,” he continues.

Pennywise the Clown—known to many as the red-nosed fiend in King’s horror epic—shares a mania somewhat similar to that of Freddy Kreuger. It’s interesting that apart from the faintly grotesque miniseries from the 90’s, we’ve seen no other iteration of the horrendous clown. Even more so, why no R-rated iteration at all?

This film adaptation might be it. Lee also confirms that the film is getting an R-rating. He says of the rewritten script: “We are very close to turning in the final draft of the script. It’s mainly working on it for budgeting purposes to make it fit within the budget that we have.”

In closing: while the R-rating is exciting (the Deadpool effect, anyone?), none of the names currently attached to the project particularly interests me. You win some, you lose some. And sometimes you bet on the director of Mama and screenwriter of *insert curse word* Annabelle will do ol’ Steve from Maine some good.
