Shit, I knew I shouldn't have came into this thread right before bed. That Tim Curry gif will make you fear clowns if you don't already

Found more scarier this guy
But this is exactly how Pennywise was described in the book. It's the TV adaptation that messed with the design.

This is good, actually. To play off that:

Isn't that from Salem's Lot?
Don't really have a problem with Pennywise's look. It's not what I expected, but a part of that is mostly thanks to the TV miniseries which cemented in my mind the way it *should* be.
Going for that look again, though, would be a good way to set up a losing game. Trying to emulate anything about Curry's take is bound for failure; they needed to go in a different direction to establish something familiar but different, and so they have. It's evil-looking, sure, but I wouldn't say generic. Lets not forget that the clown kills kids, after all; an 'evil' look is probably a fine starting point for an R-rated interpretation of the material.
What's more important than the look is the character. The voice, the body language, the silhouette in a dark hallway -- stuff not represented in a still. I get that people aren't happy with what they've seen so far, but you really need a holistic view to be able to really understand the direction they've chosen. Once the trailer comes out, hopefully people will be able to draw more reasonable conclusions about whether or not it works.
no shit
Just a reminder: the first trailer for this should be coming out in a couple days. The director, Andy Muschietti, is posting numbered balloons on his instagram every day (https://www.instagram.com/andy_muschietti/?hl=en) leading up to it.
Could be something else, I guess, but very likely to be the first trailer. Hopefully it's good.
Wait, is that Stephen King tweet pictured there implying that this movie is only telling the first part of the story, or that King has only seen the first part of the movie?
This movie is about the kids only. If it does well, the sequel will be about the adults, and boring as shit because nothing interesting happens in the adult parts of the story.
... that's not true at all.
I really didn't care for the adults parts of the story. Didn't find any of it very interesting outside of the trippy ending, that I can't even imagine on film. Jumping between the two works well enough in the book. Telling it as two separate pieces, instead of one story that keeps moving forward on two different timelines, just seems goofy to me.
Serious question, what parts did you really like in their part of the story? Genuinely curious. If I were to talk about the parts I loved, it would pretty much all come from the kids sections.
The TV adaptation > the book then
No no no....he's described more as Bozo/Clarabell in the book. His outfit is blue and silver with orange pompoms. The tv adaptation got it closer than the upcoming movie. I do like the ancient look of the new costume, but Pennywise never was supposed to let ok scary as a clown at first.But this is exactly how Pennywise was described in the book.

The balloon helps mask the worst aspect of the new Pennywise, that monstrous fivehead

I'm excited for theturtle scenes tbh, especially when they realize the turtle is dead.
I wonder what they are watching in that bottom shot.
Might be.an updated version of them looking through the photo book when It jumps out at them

The pictures are of Georgie and his parents, and each slide zooms in on Georgie's face before cutting to his mother, whose hair is covering her face. As the projector moves from slide to slide, the hair moves out of his mother's face, and her face is revealed to be that of Pennywise himself.
Bassie is a legend... the only clown that I can tolerate...
I like it in concept but it looks a little fan made.

Here's an old leaked picture of Pennywise that I saved before it was taken down.
I love it, except for the boat. Doesn't quite look right.

I like the idea, but why would Richie be MISSING? And how would he have gone missing early enough to be on Georgie's newspaper boat anyway?
Probably overthinking it.
wait, all the kids fuck in IT the book? what?
