Mar 13 2009 Pennywise is Coming Back for Me in My Adulthood
A friend recently said that what's scary about clowns is that "beneath that make-up lies the most dangerous monster of all: man." An accurate statement, but what's also scary is when, as a kid, your parents allowed you to watch Tim Curry spawn fangs while in a Bozo costume, and you grow up worrying all clowns may possess this dark power.
Now an entirely new generation of our youth will have the chance to know this irrational fear:
Warner Bros. is doing "It," tapping Dave Kajganich to adapt Stephen King's novel, with Dan Lin and Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison producing."It" centers on seven children in a small Maine town who confront the source of a series of murders in 1958 and again in 1985, when the cycle begins again.
The novel was previously adapted into a 1990 ABC miniseries.
Kajganich is also writing "Escape From New York" for Neal Moritz and New Line and "True Story" for Plan B to produce at Paramount Vantage, with Kevin McDonald attached to direct.
It's fashionable, and usually justified, to get down on remakes, but surely a new Hollywood adaptation has at least as much potential as a 1990 ABC miniseries starring Harry Anderson and The Waltons guy with the birthmark. Let's give the kids one more villainous clown, yeah?
Nov 6 2007 'The Mist' Internet-Only Trailer - Even Mistier!
This internet-only trailer for The Mist really takes the mist quotient beyond anywhere you thought it could reach. So much so that it simply cannot be shown in theaters--too much mist. And this isn't some regular, refreshing mist. This is a rotten, awful mist full of just what you'd expect Stephen King to think of.
If you think you and your computer can handle it, be my guest and watch it under the cut, but you've been warned up front. Don't come back here crying when you have your mind blown with mist.
Thanks for the tip, Joe.

Oct 1 2007 AM Poster Post: The Mist
With apologies for drifting slightly into the PM comes the poster for Frank Darabont's The Mist. This also serves as the introductory promotion for Universal Studio's newest attraction, "Parking Lot: The Ride," if you change the slogan to, "When the car stops, the ride begins..."
Aug 31 2007 The Mist Trailer
Thanks to Joe for sending along the trailer to The Mist, the film about mysterious creatures hidden within a looming vapor that isn't The Fog. With Frank Darabont, director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, trying his hand at yet another Stephen King property, this one definitely can't be mist. Feel free to use that line in your personal blogs or conversations.
