Producer Dan Lin has now admitted that it was a complete no-brainer that director Andres Mucschietti would be given free reign to go as gory, dark, and scary as possible, because if they didn’t, it would be doing the source material a disservice.
It’s going to be a big ask for the upcoming feature film remake of It to match the 1990 mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s novel that terrified a generation so vividly.
