Yahoo News IT and Infinity War directors team up for new sci-fi
If you ever wondered what the creators behind one of the year's biggest films and one of the year's most anticipated films would come up with if they worked together, wonder no more.
Because Avengers: Infinity War directors the Russo Brothers are teaming up with IT director Andy Muschietti for a brand new sci-fi adaptation.
Just let that sink in for a minute.

According to Deadline, Russo Brothers Studio won a heated bidding war for the rights to The Electric State, an illustrated apocalyptic novel by Simon Stålenhag.
Rumour has it that IT and Mama director Andy Muschietti will direct the film and produce it alongside sister Barbara, as well as Joe and Anthony Russo.
Clearly not ready to give up on spooky content, Muschietti is also in talks to direct an upcoming Dracula prequel based on a novel being written by Bram Stoker's great-grandnephew Dacre.
The Dracula prequel is set in 1868 and follows a 21-year-old Bram Stoker – the author of the 1897 Dracula – as he meets with an evil that he traps in an ancient tower.
We didn't think we'd be meeting anyone creepier than Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the cinema for a while, but we guess we were wrong.
If you're less of a horror fan, and more into shiny comic book action, then you'll be able to catch the Russo Brothers' Avengers: Infinity War when it finally drops in April and May next year.
