Warner Brothers plans to adapt Stephen King‘s It as a two-part film. The Hollywood Reporter had the scoop that Jane Eyre director Cary Fukunaga will direct and co-write the adaptation of King’s massive horror novel.
Dune screenwriter Chase Palmer will help with the script, and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies author Seth Grahame-Smith has joined the production team. A television miniseries adaptation of the film scared this GalleyCat editor silly as a kid, but the massive novel could easily fill two films. Wikipedia has a lengthy entry on the excellent novel:
The story follows the exploits of seven children as they are terrorized by the eponymous inter-dimensional predatory life-form that exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. “It” primarily appears in the form of “Pennywise the Dancing Clown”, described by characters who see It as resembling a combination of Bozo, Clarabell and Ronald McDonald, in order to attract its preferred prey of young children. The novel is told through narratives alternating between two time periods and is largely told in the third-person omniscient mode. It deals with themes which would eventually become King staples: the power of memory, childhood trauma and the ugliness lurking behind a façade of traditional small-town values.

When I worked in the Jefferson Market Library, round about five years ago, we showed filmstrips every Thursday. Now these were actual strips of film. Films that had been in the library’s collection for who knows how many decades. So in 2005 I was typing out carbons (true) and sending them to our central media library to request films that I had watched in my own youth. Films like that old Homer Price live action film about the donut machine and the one with the witches and the pancakes. But my favorite to show around Valentine’s Day was The Marzipan Pig. It’s funny that so close on the heels of my interview with Russell Hoban I have actually located a snippet of the film made from this picture book, but located it I have. If the narrator’s voice is driving you crazy, I’ll clear it up. That’s Tim Curry. It makes for a strange little picture book, but a lovely one. You can also see a snippet of The Man Who Walked Between the Towers too, if you like.
As for this next one, Colin Farrell and Rihanna should only WISH they were this talented. Go, Danny boy, go go go!
Also library-related, I had heard of these homemade web animations sweeping the . . . . web (note to self: come up with more one-syllable terms to describe internet) but I’d only ever seen the ones made for authors. This one is for library students. Library martyrs of the world, unite.
Finally, for our off-topic healthy goodness, it’s not the first time we’ve seen this kind of yeast-related animation come to light, but it’s certainly one of the more sophis

You know I’m going to have to peek if you write “Nancy Drew”. I know a person named Nancy Drew for reals. She’s an artist from the Brooklyn scene.

As artist names go, that may be one of the best. I hope she does a lot of installations with sporty roadsters and magnifying glasses.

Ah, the convergence of the Universe… To hear another dead-pan animation (in the spirit of Hurts So Good) that cracked me up, this morning, go and listen to “What Is A Speech Team,” here:
LOL! I have all of Tom Lehrer’s records–yes, in vinyl!–and so I just HAD to put up both the Radcliffe and Lehrer versions on my website. Thank you for this!

I can’t believe you mentioned the witches (wasn’t it one witch?) and the pancakes! I told my college roommate about that movie once, and she thought I was nuts. My husband is the only other person I know who remembers that film. Such fond memories of elementary school…
