It's been revealed earlier this year that True Detective director Cary Fukunaga will be adapting Stephen King's horror film 'It' for the big screen in two films.

"Based on the novel by Stephen King, the 1990 horror miniseries "It" originally starred Tim Curry as the hellish Pennywise. It took place in 1960 where seven outcast kids known as "The Loser Club" fight an evil demon who poses a child-killing clown. 30 years later, they are called back to fight the same clown again...," writes Bloody-Disgusting.

Fukunaga recently had an interview with the Brazilian newspaper O Globo, and spoke about how he's actually been working on the project for years. He states:

"I've been in this project for about five years. I had already read versions of the script but nothing felt right. Everybody tried to put too much into it, telling it from the perspective of the adult and the child in a two hour movie. It didn't fit. So I decided to throw it all away and start from scratch."

Its apparent that the director has a strong passion for the project and confirms that we'll all get an awesome adaptation.

There also is still no word on who will be reprising the role of the fearsome clown killer.

"This will be my first movie in the US and I'm still trying to find the perfect guy to play Pennywise."

Actor Tim Curry made the role his own in the 1990s TV movie, but it looks as if Fukunaga is looking for a new actor that will redefine Pennywise.

The director also goes into other changes that he plans to make from the original film.

"It's really good to know Stephen [King] likes what we did," Fukunaga states. "We (Fukunaga and writers David Kajganich and Chase Palmer) changed names, dates (the story is originally set in the '60s) dynamics, but the spirit is similar to what he'd like to see in cinemas, I think."

As it stands, there is no premiere date for the 'It' adaptation yet.
