Definately looking forward to this one, hopefully they don't stuff it up like most of the recent remakes... but who could possibly replace Tim Curry? The best person I could think of would be Robert Englund... Something scary about the thought of a 63 year old child-murdering clown... Can you think of anyone better?

How about Jim Carry yes i know hes not that kinda guy but he would make IT crazy and super funny. Rember the number 23 he did ok.

I actually think Jim Carrey is a pretty good actor when he's in a more serious role, so it could work, but it would definately be a different slant on the film... If it was an option, I would also have suggested Heath Ledger, after he showed a very dark side playing The Joker, I think he would have been scary as hell, he even had the voice for it!.. But thats obviously not going to happen Sad

Crazy! I'm reading the book right now and I have the DVD! I always thought that IT would have worked better if HBO or some other co. followed the book closer than what the miniseries did, and showed more on the town's histories and events. But still the miniseries was scary. Tim Curry Rules!

Though, making it into a movie doesn't sit well with me. There is just so much that needs to be covered, and the way that Hollywood is treating translations from book-to-movies indicates that this will just be ANOTHER poorly treated and CGI packed steaming pile of crap, starring the flavor-of-the-month actors. Sad

And here comes another needless remake of a classic film of the category: "I don't give a f*** of good old movies when it brings a few millions more."

Why mess with a classic???? seriously we know the stories already and if somethings different in the story it just ruins it!

"We all float down here, Georgie!"

God, that was creepy when I read it waaay back when the novel came out, and even creepier when Tim Curry gave voice to Pennywise. While the TV version was ok, but limited and watered down, I do think that "It" has always deserved a big screen treatment.

I'm looking forward to it

Still don't get whats so great about the original. Watched it when I was a kid and was bored out of my mind and the end killed any momentum it had picked up. A modern day VERY R rated film with a new ending would be interesting I guess.

aww crap... IT??? this film terrified me!! im now 25 and im truly terrified of clowns! i cant stick them, they just plain scare the hell outta me!! that Pennywise gave me nightmares for months!! i will go see this remake yeah but my phobia is strong haha

wonder who they will get to play the clown, seeing Tim Curry will definetly be hard to replace... cant really think who would be good for the role of Pennywise

I hope its true that this is going to theaters and not be made for TV like the original one.

I can't wait to see this. I loved the original... it's just they couldn't nudge the envelope let alone push it because it was made for TV. This remake will probably be even more graphic and by far creepier. And also, as for who would play him... it's a damn shame Heath Ledger's gone because he probably would have nailed this one too! C'mon, The Joker... he made 'The Dark Knight' a great film!

Stephen King need I say more, IT is going to be the sh!+ the first one was scary and the remake is supposed to be more like the book and the book was good

Crazy 'Kiss meh , fat boy!!' Anyone remember that? Or how 'bout the shower scene where he comes out of the drain? To this day I'm leery about my damn shower -.-

IT the original was a truly scary/disturbing movie. Didn't have to make sense, it just scared you. I sincerely hope they keep with that in the remake.

Naa jackie wouldn't do for that role, he'd put too much of his personality (that hes famous for) into it. Not sure who I'd pick for pennywise, Tim Curry will be hard to top

I think he's talkin bout the role of the Joker since his picture is of Heath Ledger and how people were skeptical about him playing that role.....

It the clown the original movie scared the hell outta of me. Im 21 and still dnt like clowns if they do it i hope they do it right and keep it as close to the way they did it bac in the day. u kno with the first part of the movies with them being kids and battling with the clown, defeating him then growing up with seperate lives and so on.
