Lets start off with the fact that I don’t think this movie needs to be remade. I know that Stephen King is in talks with various people about various projects in development right now, but I didn’t think this was one of them. Sure I’m ok with a Creepshow remake because maybe they can do something new and exciting with it. Sure give me a full length feature of IT that is darker and closer to the book than the original TV mini series. When it comes down to certain films though, you should just leave them alone.

My main concern with the remake is who they would get to play Carrie. When you think of the IT TV mini series, there are two things that pop into your head. One is that god awful spider that they have to fight at the end as adults. The second and most important is that Tim Curry gave an amazing performance as Pennywise the clown. He owned that performance so well that I don’t know if there is anyone else that could play that part and be convincing. Which brings me to the point that it’s going to be just as hard to replace Sissy Spacek who had an Oscar nomination for this role. Now don’t get me wrong, I”m sure you could find one of the many great actress’ around right now to do a great job with this.

The fact that Stephen King said in an interview that he thought Lindsey Lohan would be a consideration for the role is what really made me think this was a bad idea. As if that wasn’t bad enough the next name to get thrown into the mix was none other than Megan Fox. In my honest opinion I don’t think that either of them have the talent to pull this role off. Let’s be honest here because we all saw I Know Who Killed Me or at least watched the trailer. Lindsey Lohan is far from the talent that it takes to make this role great. Megan Fox is even further from having the skill it takes as an actress to fill the shoes of Sissy Spacek. Anyone who saw Transformers or Jennifer’s Body can agree that she lacks the talent to even be considered a B-movie star. I know these two are only considerations and it’s not final that one of these actresses may get the role. I just think that there are much better considerations to be looked over before the final decision is made.
