Stephen King's horror novel "It" will be coming to the big screen courtesy of Warner Bros.

The book has already been turned into a television series that starred Tim Reid, Tim Curry and John Ritter and debuted in 1990.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Dave Kajganich is set to write the screenplay. His credits include "The Invasion," and he is also on board to write the remake of "Escape From New York."

"It" centers on a bunch of kids facing a sadistic creature that likes to suit up as a clown and terrorize children. Many years later the sadistic clown returns, prompting the same individuals to reunite and battle the forces of evil for good.

The most recent big-screen adaptation of a King novel was Frank Darabont's intense horror thriller "The Mist."
