... John Ritter, Harry Anderson and Annette O’Toole.
However, the truly golden part of the mini-series was Tim Curry as Pennywise! So, this begs the question… who plays Pennywise in the feature adaptation?

The news is spreading like wildfire as every gets all excited about the new adaptation, and yes I'm more than happy to classify it as that rather than a remake because the writer will no doubt be going back to the novel and remaking a mini-series that ran for that length is just not really an option. Dave Kajganich has a couple of other writing jobs according to The Hollywood Reporter story. He's also writing Plan B a Pet Semetary remake. ...
