1989. Also they should put in Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me at the end of the movie. Then a final scene of Mike phoning Bill and the final words should be "It's back."

I'd like to thank the Academy...

I hope the soundtrack has a Fat Boys song about the events of the movie and that the actor playing It does some of the rapping in it.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!


Looks like my concerns were valid, and they're treating Pennywise like a slasher villain. That last shot is something out of an A Nightmare On Elm Street movie. Still, the more I see of the movie, the more surprised I am by how pretty it is. I'll be curious if the narrative side can match the strong visuals. Here's hoping, anyway.

That's cuz the cinematography is by Chung Chung-hoon, who's worked on most of if not all of Park Chan-wook's films.

Pennywise definitely gets up to plenty of slasher villain style shenanigans, so I don't think it's really meaningful that a trailer would focus on that aspect of him. Kinda tough to convey that he's an extradimensional, shapeshifting incubus in a 2 minute trailer.

That makes sense. From jump street it's been obvious that there was way more muscle behind the cinematography than in what could be considered it's contemporaries. The colors in particular really pop.

I think it looks fantastic and overall (Pennywise aside) really nails the visuals I had in my head when I read the book. loving movie looks exactly like how I pictured the town.

They have to do something different with PW than just copy what Curry did and I'm digging it. He looks loving scary to me. If they just went with the Bozo/Ronald McDonlad approach, it'd be like having Heath Ledger do another Jack Nicholson impression in TDK. Plus, we don't know what other forms PW might take. Could be a fake out and they're using the scary evil clown images for promotional purposes.

I'm down.

Already looks to be better than the TV series.

I mean the book is basically A Nightmare in Derry Township, just that the nightmare is every waking moment. And there’s a turtle.

On a different note: I don’t know how recently a lot of people have read the book, but only Georgie sees Pennywise as Bozo (and King suggests if he lived only two years longer Bozo would be Ronald McDonald instead), and only for a few seconds before he gets a closer, clearer look and begins to feel dread in his stomach about this clown in the sewer.

Everyone else remembers a clown with gigantic orange tufts of hair, orange buttons, blood red and impossibly white greasepaint, and those orange eyes. Or they never even see the clown, they see the Gill Man or a giant bird or their dead little brother or Paul Bunyan or a leper who wants to give you a blowjob. The balloons are probably the single consistent thing about Pennywise in the whole book.

(Speaking of which if you’re wondering what they’re replacing the transformed Pennywise things into for this version, they’re all hilariously up, plain as day, on the Wikipedia article for the character.)

and I feel like since this has a much bigger budget than the TV movie, they can really explore the non-clown aspects of It, but bang for your buck, Penny wise is the best way to market the drat thing.

I cannot tell if you are going for a pun there.

But yeah, you definitely want to sell the movie based on the most iconic thing from it, and Pennywise The Dancing Clown is very clearly the iconography that has stuck from it for 30 years. That and the sewer grate from the hardcover.

I actually think juggalos dressing as a known character from pop culture would make it less disturbing than it currently is. Anyway, the disturbing part is that they're all constantly sweating profusely into their jean shorts for days at a time while multiple layers of faygo slowly dry on their skin and create a sickly sweet smelling BO cloud that engulfs the entire area for miles around.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

I still don't like that Pennywise looks like a loving chipmunk but hey, if millennials find chipmunks scary so be it.

Jokes aside, it doesn't feel like an IT trailer at all but if this was a generic slasher movie I would be impressed by how good the cinematography is. The scary sound stuff seems obligatory trailer stuff I suppose? I still have hopes.

They really seem to nail Derry being off and that's a great sign for the movie as a whole I think.
I could be mistaken, but the mini series didn't really do much with that? It's been awhile.

The new Pennywise really sticks with me; it scares me and it's slowly replacing my childhood's fear of Tim Curry. :)
