Now that Cary Fukunaga is set to direct Stephen King's It,
Word & Film praises him.
When film festival darling director Cary Fukunaga veered from the grittiness of his 2009 breakout film “Sin Nombre” and immersed himself in the mist-laden romanticism of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre in the 2011 adaptation of the classic, fans of the young director’s former film were surprised. The sharp turn paid off, though, and Fukunaga proved himself in possession of a range of talents as he handled Brontë with as much grace and poignancy as he did the inner goings-on of the U.S./Mexico border. Now, we’re learning that the reach of Fukunaga’s genre interests is extending even further, as news of his involvement in an upcoming two-part production of Stephen King‘s It makes headlines.

This is how
The Plain Dealer describes Gillian Flynn, author of the book
Gone Girl:
Flynn, a former "Entertainment Weekly" writer, has the enviable ability to marry pop culture tropes with the themes and atmospherics of classic literature -- think the Brontë sisters on staff at TMZ. She is a Gothic storyteller for the Internet age. (Andrea Simakis)
It's actually something we'd rather not imagine, though.
