And then the notion of the power of belief as a resolution, and power in unity. I think those are two aspects, emotions and fear were imprinted in the script that was developed with us with Gary Dauberman, much more to our taste. I think what we brought to the table was Andy's and how he faces fear and how he needs to have very emotional characters and it’s very easy with this root material. "What we inherited basically was the two-film structure 80s and present time. New Line Cinema / Brooke Palmerīarbara Muschietti explained that they used Fukunaga and Palmer's script "as a basis" but "skewed it in a different direction." Andy Muschietti said that even though that decision was made before he came on the project, he was drawn to the divide because he always thought the kids' story was more interesting than the adults (and who doesn't?) Specifically, moving the action up three decades from the original timelines in the 1950s and the 1980s to the 1980s and the present day, and of course, splitting those two timelines into two separate films.

But how much of Fukunaga's original draft remains and how what Muschietti change when he came on board? Fukunaga teamed with Chase Palmer to pen the script for the adaptation, but as we all know, Fukunaga walked away from the project over creative differences and Mama helmer Andy Muschietti stepped in to direct and rework the script with Gary Dauberman. So naturally, when someone takes on a project as beloved and well-known as IT, people are going to be very invested in the creative approach.Īnd they were especially interested in that take when New Line recruited filmmaker Cary Fukunaga straight off the success of True Detective's outstanding first season.
