The "It" remake

I would expect it to have far more jump scares (clown popping out) and the original trailer wasn't that, just scary things happening on display.

But then again, didn't they sack the other director for making it too outside the box or as he says?

It looks more faithful than The Dark Tower at least.

I'm enjoying the "Hey, I got 'insert' down here" memes.

I really feel like I need to see this with my sister, despite the fact she is on the other side of the country.

I'm sure both of us developed phobias that can be attributed to the original.

I'll be keeping an eye on this and the subsequent reviews. I will watch it but I'll be prepared. I'm still reading the book which is mammoth and very high quality. How they could fit or condense the movie effectively is a question mark. I would have preferred a short tv series, an event, maybe HBO, good quality, to really explore the characters and story. But that's a pipe dream.

I think the makeup looks good but so far it's too pretty. Tim Curry's clown makeup was freaky. Or maybe it was just the teeth. I don't know. This Pennywise is so prettily painted,I don't get the urge to back away from the clown.

But that's a bit mootfor my remake needs. I only care if they managed to make the second half scary.

Um the clown looks plenty creepy to me. I wouldn't want to play with it or have my children go near it.

I can't really think of one I would want to play with or let near my kids.

I am not a fan of remakes at all, but this looks terrifying and awesome! Can't wait to see it

Oh, and I take issue with calling the new It a "remake". The new film is a new imaging of the same book, but calling it a "remake" makes it sound like they're doing the movie again, as opposed to doing the book again. That will ultimately set up nothing but comparisons between each version, which wouldn't be fair to the '17 version, and the second half next year. I think It #2 comes out next year, anyway.

Thanks again, Mr Portridge.

There is a new trailer out today.

It features a room full of clowns, which will surely give me a heart attack.

REALLY looking forward to this now

Yeah, I like what I'm seeing. Oddly I found Pennywise a bit less intimidating in this trailer, but that'll just be editing.

As much as I love Tim Curry's version of Pennywise, Bill Skarsgard looks pretty insane...I'm digging it!

Can't really say I'm crazy about what we've seen from Pennywise but the kids look spot on. Not just look-wise, btw.

I'm glad. That's really a more important aspect (though everyone will get hung up on the clown).

No, you're right. I really love the original production and the story is very vivid to me. So I'm excited about all of it.

Okay, this international clip did it for me.

I saw a bit linking Dark Tower to a lot of King's other works. One referenced Pennywise being a

I guess that was a part of the book they didn't use for the movie.

I really blew my balloon on that latest clip. Devil Damn that's good.

The movie can't come quick enough! Can't wait to float too!

That 4 minute clip they played during Annabelle has leaked. I only managed to see portions of it and all I'm going to say is, well done Skarsgard. Well done.

This needs to come out already.

Early reports are that this is tracking for a $50 mil opening.

Some seem to doubt this, but I think this could be even bigger. This is possibly gonna be one of the biggest doses of nostalgia done right.
