"Variety reports that the WB network has set up a new division to develop and produce original movies, one of which will be a new televersion of Stephen King's IT. Previously turned into a two-part 1990 movie by ABC and director Tommy Lee Wallace, the novel will be adapted this time by Peter Filardi, who scripted the just-aired SALEM'S LOT (review) two-parter for TNT; this IT will reportedly cram King's massive book into a single two-hour movie. Warner Bros. TV will also produce; no other talent or an airdate have been announced."- Fangoria

Well... the new Salem's Lot flick wasn't half bad. I only caught the last hour or so of it, but I found it to be ok. But then I'm still like... WTF WHY WTF WHY. The first IT was a bang up job, bad acting but scary as hell (the end sucked though).
Ok, yeah. I've made up my mind. WTF WHY!!!
