Sin Nombre, and True
Detective director Cary Fukunaga has left the adaptation of Stephen King's It, with
sources claiming that monetary and artistic issues were at the heart of his
decision to abandon the project.
It seems that the
director was having second thoughts about compromising "his artistic
vision" in order to meet New Line's budget cuts.
According to The Wrap "shooting locations were
another issue at the heart of the departure, with Fukunaga expressing a strong
desire to film in New York, which is more expensive than other locales. Another
source indicated that New Line was getting cold feet about the project in the
wake of the less-than-stellar opening of “Poltergeist,” which featured a clown
in its marketing materials."
Furthermore, it seems
that the initial plan of having two films, one that focused on the protagonists
as children and the second one with them as adults as also gone down the drain,
with the studio opting for a more commercial single film.
I heard FUKUNAGA wanted something classy and artful, like THE SHINING, and New Line wanted a more commercial IT movie. Yes... singular.
