I would have remade it without the clown, the image is too iconic and it's too much "hey kids recognize this BRAND?" to be terrifying

I'm reading the book right now (almost to the ritual of Chud). I like the miniseries but there is a lot of stuff missing and the tone seems off now that I've read the book.

I can understand that it annoys the OCD and autist demographic who want every adaptation to be slavishly faithful to the source material despite the difference of medium and the fact that that is just fucking boring. there's such a thing as being too faithful and I welcome the change to the 80ies. What I remain unsure about is how they'll split it into two films. Will the second film play just like a sequel where they're all adults?
>>71945505
This is like that stupid doll in Annabelle. If you try to make it creepy it's not creepy.
>>71945607
The children were actually creeped out by him, and the adults could smell something foul but 99,9% of them couldn't see them, unless they were pressured into it, were aware of IT already, or were still childlike in adult life (like the homosexual that got killed under the bridge).
The black kid, Mike, saw IT in clown form during a city parade and was afraid of him, as were the other children.
Having said that, there's no reference to It's clownform being terrifying in appearance. It was more subtle, certainly. What the original miniseries did right was the clowns appearance, which was used to lure children in initially.
>>71945505
Is Pennywise going to be Melissa Mccarthy? Actually that would be kind of creepy.

An ancient creature from before time turns up in this town in America every now and then to "eat" children. IT (as the children in the novel call the creature) can shape-shifting and telepathic powers so it can literally turn into your worst fears. It kills you by absorbing you with its "dead lights".
The main characters work together to temporarily defeat IT, but reunite to fight it when they're adults.

My theory is he used "I did drugs" as an excuse to cover it up. That's just the kind of shitty person he is; a liar. Liars never tell the truth if they can help it unless that truth serves to make a lie look more honest.

>The Bev Tom sex chapter
I don't like that he has that evil/edgy look. He should be smiling. Maybe a tiny glimpse of his monster teeth, or his shadow having the shape of a monster. All okay for me but his facial expression itself should be a normal smile. That twisted fucking psychopath look doesn't work at all imo. And I know they want to put their own spin on it but that lip-over-eye line is just too much. Aside from the design, the make-up itself looks very cool. Whether people like it smooth like the old one or cracked like here is a matter of taste. I'm fine with both.

Well, not at first. Usually at some point his eyes would turn into blacked out sockets, you'd notice his lipstick looked more like blood than makeup, and his mouth would open way too wide to reveal a mouth full of razor teeth. Pennywise does become a "monster" clown in the book, but yeah, initially he just looks like a clown there's something unsettling about.
To be fair, I think this movie could pull that off. The reason the OP pic looks "creepy" is because of the lighting, the sinister smile, the Kubrick stare, and the yellow eyes. If he didn't have the eyes (which probably only turn yellow when he's going monstrous in the movie) and he was just standing on a street corner, laughing and handing out balloons, he' probably look more or less like a normal clown.
Except... there's the way his smile makeup goes over his eyes in two sharp spikes, and the way his forehead makeup is strangely mottled. That would look strange no matter the circumstances. Perhaps that's what they're going for. Normal clown design with a few minor features that make him look sort of off, who with a quick change in lighting and some yellow contact lenses suddenly looks creepy and sinister.
>>71946005
I have such a huge clown fetish dude I don't even understand how anyone could be scared of them. If women decided to stop using makeup how they are and instead have whacky paint jobs and outfits I would have a heart attack
>>71948156
It would be cool if in the scene where Georgie bites it, you see Pennywise's face start to morph like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIMmOQjgnv8
but it cuts away to Georgie being pulled into the gutter before you can see much of his monster face.
>27 years after the first movie

They seem to think that being lolsocreepy, or lolsowacky is an instant ticket to being the next Tim Curry
Making the clown look 'badass' is not fucking scary.
Tim Curry was terrifying because he looked a bit goofy and it took you a second glance to see that he was freaky as fuck.

Tim Curry is deathly afraid of clowns and requested that there be no mirrors on set at any time. He almost got one guy fired because he brought a mirror..
>>71945505
He looks like Kefka from Final Fantasy VI or some fancy clownish bad guy from an anime or Japanese game.
So, here's a question. If the movie's set in the 80s and not the 50s, the kids probably won't be visualizing IT as 1940s/50s horror movie monsters. They'll be visualizing it as 1970s/80s horror movie monsters. The question is, which ones will they see IT as?
>a slasher villain, probably a combo of Jason or Michael Myers with a dash of Freddy
>a Gigerian xenomorph knockoff
>The 1980s Blob, maybe
>Jaws shark in the canal, that bit can probably stay in
>Werewolf, but probably more American Werewolf in London and less Teen Wolf (they have to fit that silver bullet bit in there somewhere)
What else? I'm assuming, of course, that they'll keep in some other non-Hollywood forms IT took, like the killer Paul Bunyan statue, the dead kids in the standpipe, dead Georgie, etc.
>>71947423
>IT ain't me

>>71945505
>26-years old.
Holy fucking shit I'm only one year older than him.
>>71951083
Well, there's a few things at play in what monsters they're going to use.
One is timeline. What would a kid in the 80s be exposed to that would scare them?
Another is aesthetic. By choosing to se the movie in the 1980s, I sort of wonder if they're going to try and trade on 80s childhood nostalgia the same way the book did on 50s childhood nostalgia. The book tries to portray something along the lines of Leave it to Beaver with a dark, hideous secret behind it. This movie might do something similar only with more of a Dark Amblin feel to it, taking inspiration from movies like The Goonies or ET and undercutting the wonder and innocence of a classic Spielberg movie with the horror of a small town's dark secrets personified in Pennywise.
Another thing to consider is what will and won't work onscreen. In the book a character can be scared of the Teen Wolf because we understand he's a preteen and his imagination makes it scarier in his mind than it actually is. I think the TV miniseries showed pretty handily that if the Teen Wolf appears on screen it's not scary at all. So the filmmakers are also going to be thinking about what monsters they can put on screen that are actually scary or unsettling, which gives them some impetus to move away from the Universal Monsters, because while those designs are classic, most of them aren't really that scary, especially to a modern audience.
>>71948156
>the Kubrick stare
>>71951555
I should add, in the second instance, if they're trading on 80s nostalgia as part of the gimmick, they'll probably use monsters tied to the 1980s.
>>71951555
>What would a kid in the 80s be exposed to that would scare them
>Freddy Krueger
>Jason
>Michael Myers
>Chucky
>The Predator
>The Terminator
none of those are still scary, but neither are universal monsters desu
>>71945505
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
>>71951661
I was always struck by the rant Stan went on as a kid about how he had to disbelieve in IT to save his own sanity. I wish there was some way to capture that feeling of mind-bending wrongness that he described as a reaction to seeing IT's forms.
>>71951661
You could probably make the Xenomorph work. Lord knows running into that thing in a sewer has the potential for horror.
>>71951741
Unfortunately there probably isn't. It will also be nearly impossible to get across the idea that multiple people can see IT as something different simultaneously, before they all come to a consensus and "mode lock" the monster, trapping it in one form that may then have specific vulnerabilities. Really, all of the non-visual stuff about imagination, willpower, and sanity is going to be really hard for the movie to convey.
>>71951661
Were they scary to you at that age?
>>71945505
How did they manage to make a genuinely scary clown look like a ridiculous edgelord>
For the record, the new director has confirmed they're going to go a different route with the monsters:
>“King described 50s’ terror iconography,” he added. “And I feel there’s a whole world now to rediscover, to update. There won’t be mummies, werewolves. Terrors are going to be a lot more surprising.”
http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3368274/stephen-kings-it-to-film-next-summer/
I'd say 80s horror iconography is a pretty good bet on the direction they'll go, assuming the movie really is still set in the 80s; the only references I can find to that online are from 2009, back when it was a very different project.
>>71945737
>a shark
Wat
I just re-read the novels about a year ago and i remember no damn shark.
>>71952153
There was also a big ass bird.
>>71952153
It's a very passing reference. Adult Bill is walking through town after returning, and he stops on a bridge overlooking the canal. A kid in a skateboard stops to talk to him, and mentions a friend of his claimed he saw a shark in the canal "a big one" like the one from Jaws, saying it popped out of the water and snapped at his friend like it does at Roy Schneider in the movie. Bill nods and asks the kid if he believes all that. The kid is noncommittal, and Bill just tells him to stay away from drains and other sources of water. The kid is shacked that and adult seems to buy into this stuff.
It's the sequence that ultimately gives Bill the inspiration to use his old bike to try and snap his wife out of her coma, because the kid says something like "there's no safe way to ride a skateboard."

This is the first thread I've seen with that image (been trying to follow the remake but who has fucking time for that), but in his defense... the sex train was actually a pretty pivotal part in the books for whatever fucking reason. I don't agree with it, but it fits into the story because of that. It'll never be included, similarly to why they never actually did pedo shit in GoT because of obvious reasons (Sansa stripped half naked etc).
I almost want to see this less than I want to see the Ghostbusters remake, but I am morbidly curious. I really want to see a half-decent adaptation of IT in my lifetime, and I probably never will.

Maybe they're going for the "it's not really makeup, it's blood" thing King did in the book. Like, initially you think it's just makeup, but the longer the Clown is on screen the more it looks wrong, as if the red parts are running/dripping.

They'll probably start with that iconic scene with Georgie, cause fuck they can't do shit otherwise, but then they'll try scenes that weren't in the original miniseries like that gay couple in the park. It's the perfect time for shit like that.

Damn that's actually really good.

It's been like 10 years since I read the book, but I seem to remember two parts. One being mainly composed of parts of them as children, and one being mainly composed of them as adults. I know they had lots of flashbacks as adults, though.
The book is over a thousand fucking pages, though. I entirely agree with them splitting it up. I've read A LOT of Stephen King, and in this case not a whole lot of it is filler. The movie will suffer because it can't include enough stuff.
Hopefully with the CGI now they'll do all of the solo child sequences. They skipped a few of them in the original series.
Also it would be cool to see the turtle sequences included.

What was the deal with their sterility again?
>>71954418
thy didnt want to have kids, so It wouldn't eat them
>>71954418
They never completely left Derry so they never truly grew up. After the book ends they might.
>>71945505
I don't see how people can get angry at horror remakes. They do this shit on a yearly basis..
>>71954418
>>71954461
>>71954476
Well, it's more than that. Hanlon implies that defeating It the first time supernaturally marked them in some way. They forget their pasts, none of them can have kids despite trying (even though medical tests say they're fertile) and all of them except Hanlon (who stayed in Derry) have become rich and successful.
>>71954527
>They do this shit on a yearly basis..
Tell me how you think this excuses it.
>>71953179
Like I said, it varies, there's only a rough approximation of time. The time the killing sprees last also varies. Usually it's 27 to 30 years of dormancy, then some horrible event occurs as IT awakes, it preys on children for a year or so, and then then another horrible event occurs (usually where somebody gets scapegoated for the murders) and IT goes back into dormancy. However, as one anon pointed out earlier, there was one period where IT's killing spree lasted three whole years instead of just one. It's a wonder that the children of Derry weren't entirely depopulated in that one.

The book starts in the past, and then switches back and forth between the past and the present for the rest of the book, sometimes in mid chapter, sometimes even in mid sentence. The two separate narratives reach their climax at roughly the same time. It ties into the fact that the adults in the second narrative are only slowly remembering their childhood experiences with Pennywise as they go. They reference or vaguely recall stuff from the past, and you only learn what that stuff is as the first narrative catches up to it.
It's a very odd structure, and I wonder how it'll work split into two movies, because King seemed to clearly plan the book around these alternating narratives. I'm not sure how well they'll hold together if you just present each narrative on its own.
>>71954727
I don't think you can have it work in film because (and this is kind of sad) the first movie would end on virtually nothing while the second movie would have too much going on, especially near the end.
Splitting the timeframes completely like the first is really about the only way to do it.
>>71946006
The 50s have unmatched creepiness potential though.

>the sex train was actually a pretty pivotal part in the books for whatever fucking reason.
No, it was stupid as hell, completely unnecessary, and little more than a King attempt at being edgy for the sake of being edgy.
>>71955062
>a King attempt at being edgy for the sake of being edgy
That really doesn't keep it from being a pivotal part of the story, this is Stephen King here.
This was only greenlit because Suicide Squad Joker was making clowns cool again reminder

The book is imo 100 times more creepy and unerving than the mini series.
>>71955410
Well, the miniseries was made for TV in the 1990s. It had a very limited budget, effects tech at the time wasn't what it is now, and because it was network TV they really had to pull their punches in terms of violence and scares.
It's to be expected, really.
> le clowns are scary mey mey

I know, I too get mad at imaginary things that haven't happened.
