Warner Bros. has a director and screenwriters in place for its feature-film adaptation of Stephen King's "It."
According to The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision, Cary Fukunaga ("Jane Eyre") will direct and co-write the script with Chase Palmer, director of the shorts "Shock and Awe" and "Neo-Noir."
The plan is for the book to be adapted into two films, Heat Vision's report says.
King's novel, which was first published in 1986, was adapted into a television mini-series in 1990.
A synopsis from King's website describes the books as this: A promise made twenty-eight years ago calls seven adults to reunite in Derry, Maine, where as teenagers they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city's children. Unsure that their Losers Club had vanquished the creature all those years ago, the seven had vowed to return to Derry if IT should ever reappear. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that summer return as they prepare to do battle with the monster lurking in Derry's sewers once more.
