Sci-Fi Channel "It" remake.
*There was a good discussion on
G4TV’s Attack of the Show this week about horror movie remakes and when (if ever) they are appropriate. Writer/director Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs) brought up the point that you can’t generalize that remakes are always bad, because in some cases they are an improvement, and some movies deserve to be updated and brought to new audiences. This is true, but surely there’s no way to justify another TV mini-series of Stephen King’s It, is there? According to Moviehole, The Sci-Fi Channel will be doing exactly that, with Peter Filardi (Salem’s Lot) writing the script (and possibly directing?). It will be a 4 hour broadcast event. Filardi says that this new version of It will be “another cool, more interesting exploration of friendship and time and how we all kind of grow up despite our best efforts not to”. Eh?
