It may be difficult to accomplish, but the end result is a truly enjoyable storytelling experience. Alfonso Cuaron and Joe Wright are just a few of the filmmakers who have tracking shots in their works.

Another classic Stephen King novel is being adapted into a feature film… make that two feature films. Interestingly enough the project has also attracted an up-and-coming director.

The author’s epic 1986 horror tale It, which had been previously made into a four-hour miniseries for ABC in 1990 under the direction of Tommy Lee Wallace (Halloween III: Season of the Witch), is on track to become a two-part movie with Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga calling the shots. Fukunaga will also be teaming with relative newcomer Chase Palmer to write the screenplay adaptation.

Fukunaga previously filmed another literary adaptation: last year’s Jane Eyre, based on the celebrated Charlotte Bronte novel. Prior to working on It, Palmer tackled the writing duties on the long-in-development film of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic Dune.
