A remake of Stephen King's chilling horror 'It' has been pushed back indefinitely.
The acclaimed author's 1986 novel was brought to TV screens in 1990, and instantly became a cult classic thanks to Tim Curry's portrayal of bloodthirsty clown Pennywise.

King responded to the news by referencing Curry's performance in the 1990 mini-series on Twitter...
