Music to our ears, I tell ya! That’s what the latest coming out of the camp of Stephen King’s It are promising fans, and we couldn’t be more delighted.
Recently Collider caught up with producer Dan Lin, who had the following to share regarding the upcoming theatrical two-parter.
“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.”
