That all sounds like the recipe for a killer Stephen King adaptation, and one that could definitely stand the test of time.

Both of the IT movies, while showing their book-to-movie differences, are great horror movies in their own right.
Streaming adaptations such as Gerald’s Game, 1922, and In the Tall Grass were all hauntingly solid in their own ways, and even though the box office for Doctor Sleep was disappointing, the film was still lauded by critics and viewers (and King himself).
