Stephen King's clown horror novel It is to be turned into a film by studio Warner Brothers, according to industry paper The Hollywood Reporter.
The 1986 novel follows childhood friends drawn together as adults to fight the murderous clown Pennywise.
The book was made into a three-hour TV mini-series in 1990, with Tim Curry.
