Filmmaker Cary Fukunaga, who became popular after helming the first season of HBO's "True Detective", has left New Line's adaptation of Stephen King's landmark novel "It".
New Line and Fukunaga are reportedly parting ways over budgetary reasons that stem from a difference in creative visions, said the Hollywood Reporter.
The movie was due to begin shooting in three weeks.
The story follows a group of teens called the Losers Club who defeat a creature called It. Years later, the creature returns, and the members of the club - now adults - have to band together again even though they have no memory of the first battle.
The plan was for the first movie to tell the kids' story and the second movie to focus on the adults.
