It
The theatre director of the coming adaptation of Stephen King’sITsays he wants to tackle the author’sPet Semataryfor his next remaking . The newIT , directed by Andrés Muschietti , is more of a reimagining of King ’s classic repugnance novelthan a remaking of the 1990 miniseries . ITwill keep an eye on a mathematical group of kids in a unsaved Maine town and their coming upon with fright itself , which mostly manifests itself in the form ofPennywise the Clown(played by Bill Skarsgård in the raw movie ) .
Pet Sematary , meanwhile , was adapted in 1989 and after proving a moderate corner office success has pull ahead something of a cult following over the yr . Muschietti is still promotingITahead of its September release and could still helm theplanned second partportraying the chief characters ' adult long time , but he has peggedPet Semataryas the next King adaptation on his wish list .
Speaking in a new interview with theToronto Sun , Muschietti said that he really need to do a clean take onPet Sematary . Indeed , he and his baby Barbara , who is credited as a producer onIT , are hoping that their King adaptation will be the first of several in the coming years .
“ We ’re vast devotee of Pet Sematary . If we can get our hired hand on that and do the Pet Sematary we need to do , that will be something . One day , perchance . "
The Muschietti siblings also own the film rights toThe Jaunt , a curt story published by King in 1981 , which they intend to finally make . Andres also order theToronto Sunthat he did n’t have much troubleadapting the screenplay forIT , the novel for which runs well over 1,000 varlet , as he and his sister are"true fans"of King ’s work .
IfITcandeliver on its pre - release buzzand connect with a wide consultation , it look that the movie would only be the beginning of a long partnership between the Muschiettis and the work of King . The source was famously reluctant to issue the 1983 novel ofPet Sematary , which he described as a"terrible book"in footing of the way it"just spirals into dark " . If Muschietti is that enthusiastic about tackle such a dark , terrifying novel , it bodes well forIT’sability to grip audiences .
However , asThe Dark Toweris proving , King ’s typically impregnable reservoir material is not always a warranty of a winner . The Dark Towermay top the box seat office in its first weekend , but itopened to abysmal reviewsand is poised for a short run at No . 1 . It ’s always been hard to execute King adaptations on the big screen efficaciously , but Muschietti ’s sheer passion for the writer ’s employment should inspire confidence that he can make the newITa success .
