Okay well there isn't a remake as I know of yet, but I had an idea of how they could do it if it was released in 2019.
Similarly to IT, I think it could easily be done in two films. I think the first film could follow his life up to the crash, the crash, and him trying to solve the serial killer case. It could end where the news anchor congratulates Johnny on solving the case and then cuts to Greg Stillson campaigning saying "I'm going to make America great again, and nobody will stop me".
It ends there and the second film follows Greg Stillson and his rise to power. Also beef it up with a few more bits of Johnny and the rest of the book.
The reason why I'd want two films is because so much happens in that one book and so many short story lines which werent explored in the original film. Unless you made the film 3 hours long I'd feel robbed of a lot of book content.
Thoughts? (Also, who would you cast)?
Ps. Yeah I thought the original film was pretty bad compared to the book. It's due a Remake.
