An excellent, brilliant film…fairly well made, it follows Kings story to a tee. I call it brilliant because it is the only film adaptation to date. I admire Todd Gorman for making it…for whatever reason, no one has yet to do it. I know that Muschetti was attached to direct a film version but decided on It instead.
Nice to read that you liked the film. Thanks for the info, wasn’t aware of Andy Muschietti.
