Many fans that follow director Cary Fukunaga's work will have recognized his departure from his two-part 'It' adaptation that was slated for the coming year.

It was reported a couple months ago and while no explanation was offered, it was inferred that there was a disagreement between studio and director, as there typically is with adaptation projects.

In an interview with EW, Fukunaga touched on the falling out he had with New Line Cinema, and how the whole thing went down.

"It's never easy," he started. "Chase [Palmer] and I had been working on that script for probably three years. There was a lot of our childhood and our experience in it."

"Ultimately, we and New Line have to agree on the kind of movie we want to make, and we just wanted to make different movies," Fukunaga continues. "It's like a relationship: you can try to make the other person who you want them to be, but it's impossible really to change. You just have to work."

The project has been confirmed to still be moving forward with 'Mama' director Andy Muschietti. The actor set to star as the titular clown, Will Poulter, hasn't been confirmed to still be leading the adaptation.

"'It' was to have started shooting in late June and a new start date remains unclear. Upon closing of Muschietti's deal, New Line will begin a search for a new writer to tailor a script to Muschietti's vision. The plan is for the adaptation to still take place over two parts," write THR.
