Just a day after the announcement that director Cary Fukunaga had departed the reboot of It, the new adaptation of the Stephen King novel, has been shelved indefinitely.
The reboot was originally in production over at Warner Bros. before making the move to New Line Cinema and was intended by Fukunaga to be a two-part film event. Production was set to begin in June with Will Poulter starring as Pennywise the Clown, but it does not seem that it will happen at all. Fukunaga exited the project over the weekend citing scheduling along with rumors that he clashed with the studio over their desire to slash the budget.
Oh well. I didn't want this to happen anyway, so I can't say I'm upset.
LOL/JK: It appears that in order to avoid an indefinite delay, the project is headed back over to Warner Bros. With this move the budget will remain intact and the setting will return to New York City and the two-script adaptation will also remain... so they say. Oh well. We can't win them all.

If I had more time I would type them out, but I don't at the moment. I'll just give the link for now and then update the post later....

I almost did a happy dance just now. Marvel is busy searching for directors to helm upcoming films and one prime candidate for Guardians...

And it still looks like it's going to suck. They should have quit while they were behind.
