According to Dread Central the remake of It, which sadly no longer involves Cary Fukunaga, now has an official release date.
The film - which has yet to be cast and will film sometime over the summer - is set to release on September 8, 2017.
The remake is now being directed by Mama's Andrés Muschietti and written by the guy who wrote Annabelle.
