IT Remake Will Be Rated R

Dan Lin producer of the upcoming IT remake recently sat down with entertainment news outlet collider this is what he had to say about the project.

“It is a rated-R movie. If you’re going to make a “Rated-R movie”, you have to fully embrace what it is, and you have to embrace the source material. It is a scary clown that’s trying to kill kids. So of course that’s going to be a rated-R movie. The kids are amazing. You very much get a Stand by Me vibe as far as their camaraderie and the way they joke with each other and that they really care for each other. They do have a scary clown that’s taken over the town of Derry, so it’s going to be rated R.”

Personally this is great news I was afraid they were going to shoot for a PG-13 film. Which wouldn't work for the crazy twisted mind of Stephen King.

Dan Lin even gave some information on the plan to make the movie into two parts like the original television mini series.

“Naturally that’s the plan. If you look at the book, it’s the part of the book that we have not yet explored. The book we really broke down into two parts. The first part is this movie and if audiences react to this movie in the way we hope they will and I think they will, then we’ll be to tell the adult story as well.”

So basically if we like IT we will get a sequel that feature adults facing off against Pennywise. IT is set to hit theaters Sep 8, 2017.
