. . . but . . .
"RICHARD KELLY: I was in talks with a couple of cable networks about producing an epic miniseries of IT. I wanted to do a really psychological, scary, character based thing in the vein of Mystic River. But WB Television (who controls the property) decided to go and develop a 2 hour TV movie on the WB. Something about corporate synergy. I don't know how they are going to do justice to a 1200 page novel in 90 WB Network minutes. Oh well. "


Dammit dammit dammit!

What the hell is this thread? Well aside from that vent, are there any horror projects that were going to happen (Romero on RE anyone?) that didn't, but you'd wish anything to see them taken up again?
Oh, and damn you WB!

The stick figure on the right represents the WB, and the one on the left represents Richard Kelly's ingenius idea.
