I’m sure that we’ll spend the next few weeks sorting through all the info that this past weekends Fango con will have produced.  Today brings us news of a remake of the classic King novel IT.  Personally I never really cared much for the original mini-series.  I did like Tim Curry as Pennywise but the ending of the film was just kind of a washout.  So, maybe a remake will bring us something more exciting.  Read on for the report from Fango:

During a panel discussion at Fango’s Weekend of Horrors in Burbank, Filardi dished a few details on some fresh projects he’s got in the works. On the King side, the writer told Fango he’s still developing a new televisualization of the author’s epic novel IT (previously done as a two-part ABC movie in 1990). Originally slated for TNT as a two-hour movie, IT has now caught the interest of the Sci Fi Channel, which wants to stretch it out (and rightfully so!) to a four-hour broadcast event. You may recall that early reports stated Filardi’s approach to the material would be to tell IT through the eyes of the character of Beverly Marsh.
