Stephen King is impressed by the new It adaptation

March 11, 2017 by Gary Collinson

A few weeks ago Stephen King shared his thoughts on the upcoming Gerald’s Game movie, calling it “horrifying, hypnotic and terrific”, and it seems the legendary author is also equally impressed by New Line Cinema’s big screen take on It.

Producer Seth Grahame-Smith took to Instagram to share a message from King, stating that: “Steve asked me to pass along that he saw a screening of IT today and wanted to let everybody know that they should stop worrying about it as the producers have done a wonderful job with the production.”
