No Giant Spider For ‘IT’ Remake

The original IT miniseries had some strong elements, but it also had some weaker ones, perhaps most memorably the animatronic abomination that was Pennywise’s final form. Taking the form of a giant spider that wouldn’t look out of place in an episode of Goosebumps, much of the horror and tension of the previous 3 hours is replaced with laughter and befuddlement. Yes, the spider was in the book, but not everything that works on the written page works on the screen. That’s certainly evident here. Thankfully Bloody-Disgusting has reported that there will in fact be no arachnid in the upcoming remake. “Muschietti’s version will show more of Pennywise adapting into various forms that are based on the children’s individual fears. However, it will not show Pennywise as a giant spider like it did in the 1990 miniseries adaptation.” As someone who loved the novel but hated the mini-series (with the exception of Tim Curry) this is good news. While the

Okay horror fiends, lock the doors, turn on the lights and prepare yourself for a creepy new trailer for IT. Andy Muschietti’s adaption of Stephen King’s IT, based on the screenplay written by Gary Dauberman, centers on a group of teens, referred to as the “Losers Club”. On a daily basis they face bullies and now a monster that takes the shape of a demented clown known as Pennywise, has arrived in their sleepy little town of Derry Maine.

Pennywise Stalks Georgie In The New Image From Stephen King’s ‘IT’

A new image has emerged from Andy Muschietti’s IT, written by Gary Dauberman. Just like the classic scene from the mini series we can see Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard) peering out from the gutter, calling to Georgie. The image, a photo of an IT spread in the latest Empire Magazine, was shared on the “Stephen King’s IT 2017” Facebook page. While the trailer has not been released online, it did play at SXSW. The trailer revealed the scene that opens with Bill (Jaeden Lieberher) making a paper boat for his younger brother Georgie, played by Jackson Robert Scott. Georgie runs outside with his boat to play in the rain. As the boat floats down the street beside the curb, Georgie falls and his boat is lost in the gutter. As he peers into the darkness in search of his boat, Pennywise suddenly appears and the screen goes to black. Hopefully, we will see the trailer released soon. Even though though IT’s

Behold The First Image Of Bill Skarsgard In Full Costume As Pennywise In IT!

Fans were excited to see Bill Skarsgard in full makeup as Pennywise. Now, we have our first look at Skarsgard in full costume as Pennywise, via EW. The new Pennywise is darker, and dirtier, than the character originally played by Tim Curry. Frankly, it’s terrifying. Director Andy Mushetti’s adaption of Stephen King’s ‘IT’, based on the script penned by Gary Dauberman and Chase Palmer, is said to be headed to a much darker and disturbing place than the 1990 mini series. Producer Dan Lin recently gave Collider a few hints during the TCA Summer Presentation about the film (which you can read all about HERE). He explained several things including the film’s tone and casting Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise. His build is really interesting. He’s really tall and lanky, and feels a little clown like in his movement. When he came in – we had a lot of different actors read, and when he came in he had a different

The reboot is still shrouded in secrecy, but thanks to one of its producers we now know a little more. Back in June we got our first look at Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise in ‘IT’. But fans have been wondering what to expect from the new version. ‘IT’s producer Dan Lin recently gave Collider a few hints during the TCA Summer Presentation. I think a great analogy is actually Stranger Things, and we’re seeing it on Netflix right now,” Lin told Collider. “It’s very much an homage to ’80s movies, whether it’s classic Stephen King or even [Steven] Spielberg. Think about Stand by Me as far as the bonding amongst the kids. But there is a really
