Of course, there are two ironies in the fact that It has bested The Shining at its adaptation game: Warner Bros, the studio responsible for Kubrick’s film, is also partially behind It, thanks to their New Line production shingle.
The person writing their own obituary of ultimate pleasure is none other than one of It’s producers, Seth Grahame-Smith.
But perhaps the most fitting is the fact that Grahame-Smith’s Instagram photo is one of Jack Torrance’s manic mug.
With such a close association to the production of the slightly troubled project, to finally have a film in the can and able to please Stephen King’s eyes is quite a feat.
