He’s also penning Sematary
A theatrical redo of Stephen King’s “It” has been on the table for years. Now Warner Bros. is partnering with Lin Pictures and Vertigo Entertainment to get it on the screen.
They’ve enlisted Dave Kajganich (The Invasion) to pen the script and already talks of story changes are underway. According to THR, Kajganich tale is set in present day and will ignore the fact that King’s narrative bounces between ’58 and ’85. The core of the story will still follow a group of youngsters who once took on a creature and are called back together in their adult years to battle “it” one more time.
“It,” first published in 1986, was adapted into an ABC mini-series in 1990.
Kajganich has reportedly penned a Pet Sematary remake as well and he’s at work on Escape from New York.
