IT director Andrés Muschietti has admitted that he “wasn’t a big fan” of the 1990 miniseries based on author Stephen King’s classic horror novel.
Twenty-seven years ago, IT scared the wits out of television viewers when the adaptation of King’s 1986 bestselling novel was presented in two terrifying parts on ABC-TV.
No matter how similar or different Muschietti’s version of IT ends up being, the interest is certainly there.
Just because the film didn’t affect Muschietti in the same way it terrorized viewers, fans shouldn’t hold the helmer’s remarks against him.
