Director Andres Muschietti looks to have truly captured what fans love about the novel, but Stephen King wasn’t actually involved.
During the course of the conversation, Muschietti was asked about the decision to not have Stephen King involved and his reasoning is, well, reasonable.
The good news is that, even though Stephen King wasn’t involved, he has given his blessing and said the movie is great.
Andres Muschietti recently spoke with Collider in honor of IT, which is set to arrive in theaters on September 8.
