You know, the 1990 TV miniseries of Stephen King’s It wasn’t perfect, but then again neither was the original novel. (It made up for that fact with its sheer length.) Do we really need a new remake? If you’re going to adapt one of King’s novels, why not start with one of the books that hasn’t been adapted yet? Or, in the likely event that those are all stuck in one stage of development or another already, why not go back to one the books that was adapted poorly? Trust me, there’s been quite a few.

Like I said, It wasn’t perfect, but it was above average for King adaptions and largely faithful to the source material. Another version now seems wholly unnecessary. (And heck, even when there is a good reason for a remake, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.)
