saw this trailer before Split (which was really good, IMO) tonight. Looks promising although i was kinda surprised Jordan Peele of Key and Peele directed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfnevzM9kQ
Disturrrrrbing trailer. Really looking forward to it.

I thought it was really good. It didnt take itself seriously at all.... and if you understand that it is classified as a 'comedy horror', it was amusing
apparently the new stephen king "it" movie trailer premiered at SXSW the other day, can't find a link to it anywhere though.

I was extremely skeptical of this movie when I heard they were remaking it and when I aw the first Pennywise pics. But i must say that after seeing that trailer I have high hopes for the end product.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.
Yes. It looks like they stay true to the book, which is the #1 crime committed by these adaptations
Yeah, except for the time periods. The new movie has been altered so that the past events are in the 80s or 90s or whatever and present day is our present day. I would have preferred it if they'd stayed true to the original time periods of the book.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

A case could also be made that film adaptations that stay too close to the source material often suck rocks.

I disagree, that movie was made and it impacted the people who lived in the era. This one will impact the people just younger than my sub-generation. The 70's just aren't as relevant or relatable as they were. It makes perfect sense to me.

i'm ok with it being a little updated. Didn't realize this was the first part with the kids and the adult ones come after i guess? I haven't watched the original in over 20 years (yeah scared me as well). Might have to try and find it somewhere and re-watch it

What time period are they doing. Gotta roll back some degree as the story spans 30 years. Unless the adults fight pennywise with flying cars and robots
the tv miniseries wasnt bad.... actually one of the better adaptations. They did have to leave a bit out due to gore, special effects restrictions, and also some sexual themes.

I remember reading Stephen King religiously back in the late 80s.
The Stand. It. The Talisman (with Peter Straub). Pet Semetary. The Shining. Misery. Etc.
King was unparalleled.
Wasn't the original It a made for tv show? And from what I can recall... didn't it kind of suck?
The original one was a 4 part mini series for tv. Don't think it sucked at all, very good and scary.

My friends and I all read the book and loved it. I think, at the time, it was near impossible to replicate the imagery King presented in words on film.

The 70s? I don't think the 70s ever came into play with IT, did they? I just like the 50s setting for the children's part of the story because I find a killer clown in the 50s way scarier and creepier than a clown in the 80s or 90s, and I feel like Derry was a town that can't really carry its evil factor into modern day fully. Just a feeling I have about it. I guess I just think the original era suits the story, characters, and location best. I think 11/22/62 might have actually helped solidify that sense.

Maybe... but I've never seen a film adaptation that was really close to the book it's based on suck rocks. Not once. Every single book to film adaptation that sucks rocks that I've seen invariably stray too far from the book in some way. All the ones that are super close to the book are awesome. Can you give me some examples of movies that are very close to the book upon which they're based that suck because it's too close to the book? I can't think of one that I've seen. I can think of dozens that suck because they strayed too far from the source material though. And this has been a particular problem with Stephen King adaptations over the years IMO.

OMG they remade IT? That is my LEAST favorite!!! I was traumatized by that movie...I can't even look at a clown because of that movie.
