You can never really take too much from trailers these days, but I sure did like the look of this one. This is probably nitpicking, but Georgie's last day in the 1990 series always looked a little too nonthreatening to me, not ominous enough. When he goes out of the house with the paper boat it's raining, but it also looks like the sun is peeking out somewhere nearby, and the street just kind of looks "friendly" to me, for want of a better term. In the new trailer, whether they got it with natural light or more likely through post-shooting effects, the sky is gray, it's pretty dark, the large running currents of water in the road and the way the neighborhood looks is just more sinister. I also like the shot of the kids in the house on Neibolt street, where they are framed in the background looking in the direction of the camera, with the hand in the foreground... you see the claws poking out the fingers of the white clown gloves! Whether IT is a werewolf or something picked from more modern fears in that scene is something I'm eager to see. I am cautiously optimistic. And overjoyed that this is being done as an R film, it's the only way to do justice to the source material.

In the book, there was the one story about a guy who went into a bar and killed several people with an axe, while many of the patrons just stood about watching.

Timeless Appeal posted:Yeah it even has a less than subtle parallel between It and Rodan. Also with elements of the clown costume. The giant bird had red puff-balls on its its tongue I think, like the buttons on a clown suit. I think the werewolf had the puffy clown suit buttons on its Derry High jacket.

We haven't seen the clown talking to Georgie from the drain yet. It's possible he can be quite friendly and disarming. He's got to do this to get Georgie close enough, right?

Why the 90s? I'm legitimately interested, was it something in pop culture that created this generational fear of clowns? I grew up before then and was never afraid of them, nor of adults dressed in big costumes like a theme park character. Though I did have some friends that were when we were younger. But it didn't seem like there was as much pervasive clown fear among kids to me in the 70s.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Because the movie IIRC now takes place in the 90's and not the 60's since the adult portion takes place in the present day. What I meant was, why were so many kids in the 90s afraid of clowns?

29 Neibolt street was where they thought they killed It in the miniseries, when they were kids. Wasn't it?

I'm thinking of a scene in the TV series in that house, when Bev hits it in the side of the head with her shot and deadlights start spilling out, and It escapes down the toilet.

Krazyface posted:It felt like there was a cut in the middle, around 1:28, there's kind of a discontinuity in the music. You're right. What's missing in that little chunk: Georgie asks him what he's doing in the sewer. Pennywise says the storm blew him away, him and the whole circus, and can you smell the circus, Georgie? Can you smell hot dogs...and cotton candy... and... Georgie is sniffing he air, he can really smell it, just like in the book, and finally he smells something else. Popcorn! Pennywise asks if popcorn is his favorite, he says yes, and Pennywise gets a little goofy for a moment, saying it's his favorite too, because it goes Pop! Pop! Pop pop pop pop! Georgie is laughing along with him, and suddenly Pennywise stops smiling completely, and just stares at him with this really disturbing look on his face. Then the clip you see resumes, Georgie is visibly unsettled by the look Pennywise is giving him, and is about to go, etc.

Yeah, that was the book "White Shark". I didn't know there was a movie made out of that one too, though.

Let's all just hope this thing is cool and good and does well. I think despite all the excitement and hype the second one all depends on that. Like, they haven't even cast one single role yet for part two. Which makes me wonder, what are they going to call part two? Literally IT 2?

Last I heard tentative shooting for part two was supposed to be March 2018. But it was always contingent on the success of the first one. With the buzz around the film and things we've heard and seen, I don't think there's any danger of part two being cancelled though. This first one was rumored to have a planned 30 million dollar budget back in 2015. Possible the studio(s) have kicked in a little more for them to use in post-production, due to how promising this one looks? I dunno. I would think budget and casting for part two would be about the same (relatively low and unknowns) but if this one really blows up, who knows?

Karloff posted:Is there a scene on the cutting room floor where Bower kills his two mates as well, I mean, he turns up at Neibolt in their car I don't know if they filmed Bowers actually killing them, but I believe some people who saw early versions of this said there was a scene showing them dead in the back of the car and it was obvious that he had done it e: I haven't seen it yet but from a lot of things I've read it does sound like something was rushed or went wrong during the editing process

In the book, wasn't one aspect of the adult story basically that Pennywise knew he had a little less control over the adults? In the sense that they weren't as easily victimized by images and fears It could pluck from their minds... hence trying to intimidate and threaten them into leaving town, and also sending Henry to their hotel. What I'm getting at is Henry has got to be back in part two

In the book it seemed to me like his "feeding" on children isn't literal, it's feeding on the psychic energy the fear releases-- "salting the meat" Although I'm pretty sure he did take Georgie's arm off, and he definitely did bite Adrian Mellon (although I think that was shock benefit for Adrian's boyfriend)

Das Boo posted:Yeah, Pennywise is definitely literally eating his victims. Aside from Georgie's arm and the armpit bite on Adrian, Mike makes a point of discussing how he knew exactly what it was when it started happening again because the victims weren't sexually assaulted, but had all been partially eaten. Where is this part in the book?

Other people in Derry looking like Pennywise---it was part of the great job they did with making Derry just seem not "right" I thought. I'm one of the huge book fans, it is quite near and dear to my heart. But I think this was a great reimagining that managed to stay very true to King's vision and ideas. Man... I'm still blown away at how GOOD all of the kids were. Richie and Eddie most of all, but I loved all of them. They better get to filming soon if they want to include flashbacks.

Yes he did, and here's Henry's come-uppance. One of my favorite bits from the book: Whatever the reason— cuts, sprain, library books, or even the thought of the soggy and probably illegible rank-card in his back pocket— it was enough to get him moving. He lumbered forward, squashy Keds spatting in the shallow water, and kicked Henry squarely in the balls. Henry uttered a horrid rusty scream that sent birds beating up from the trees. He stood spraddle-legged for a moment, hands clasping his crotch, staring unbelievingly at Ben. “Ug, ” he said in a small voice. “Right, ” Ben said. “Ug, ” Henry said, in an even smaller voice. “Right, ” Ben said again. Henry sank slowly back to his knees, not so much falling as folding up. He was still looking at Ben with those unbelieving black eyes. “Ug. ” “drat right, ” Ben said.

I think the plan earlier was to do some flashbacks, and use these great kid actors again. But man they have lost a lot of time... I bet they all look so different now, or will by the time they start filming this. I suppose they could use the kids as a bridge, like showing Ben a couple years down the line, living away from Derry and running to lose weight, etc. But then you don't get any of their chemistry together.
