‘IT’ Movie Director Quits Three Weeks Before Filming

Date:

‘It’ movie directors quit three weeks before filming was expected to start.

According to reports, Cary Fukunga,  the critically acclaimed director behind HBO’s ‘True Detective’, has quit working on the movie due to “creative differences”.

Sources say that New Line and Fukunaga are parting ways over budgetary reasons that stem from a difference in creative visions.

The movie was due to begin shooting in three weeks.

‘It’ centers around a group of teens called the Losers Club who defeat a creature called It. Years later, the creature returns, and the members of the club – now adults- have to band together again even though they have no memory of the first battle.

Studios planed for the first movie to tell the kids’ story and the second movie to focus on the adults.

The budget was expected to be $30 million and the second part have a larger budget. However, Cary Fukunaga’s version of the movie was out of budget.

Cary Fukunaga had been developing the film for years as he slowly became famous in Hollywood for directing. Fukunaga is known for being persistent. He has strong ideas on casting, and it was rumored that he wouldn’t settle when it came choosing his cast.
