I'd got back to the theater to watch an extended cut.
Same.
I wonder how much of Mike's scenes ended up on the floor that could make it back in. I feel like they had something else for him in mind when they gave his town historian role for Ben, then that got cut and he was stranded.
Regardless, this is good news.

Awesome. I was going to get the Blu-ray anyway, but I'm now I'm extra excited for it.

I wonder how much footage in total was cut for the theatrical version. I know there were things like Stan's speech and Mike getting jumped by the bullies that was removed.
Mike's whole character will probably benefit from an extended cut.

Very excited to hear there's an extended cut, I hope it's substantial. I could watch a 3 hour version easy. Pretty much all of my compaints with the movie come down to there not being as much as I'd like of certain aspects, so more content could really make me love a movie I already really like.

I can't imagine what sets Mike apart that would make his character be cut the most, hmmmm . . .
AWWW YEAH

I bet that library scene plays a lot differently in an extended cut.
I'm curious as hell

Finally got my review out:

I'm on board for the sequel and extended cut -- you can tell they were really trying to make something worthwhile here.

Yeah I'd be super interested to see something more methodical.
As the first version of the story I've consumed, I enjoyed it. The adventure aspect was strong and the horror elements were interesting enough to keep me on my toes. Richie was hilarious, kinda sad that there were a couple of the kids that definitely weren't as well fleshed out as the rest.
Reading up on the book version though that infamous

Just got out of the theater and was thinking while watching how I would love a 3 hour cut of this movie. So glad to hear we are getting alittle something. Overall amazing movie. As someone who loves the book, this film was almost as good as it gets to getting it on screen. Obvious cuts and changes aside they nailed the it with the awesome sound design and visuals. Richies actor was on point and so was Bev. Not knocking the other kids cause they did awesome but those 2 stuck out.

fucking awesome. The important part is that it's a proper director's cut, supervised by the director. I am so in.

Excited for an extended cut.
I was getting the Bluray anyways so this is great to hear.

Aw got excited and then read it's only 15 minutes.
Maybe that's all they wanna put back in
Really hope they go full cosmic with the second movie. I feel like that would be a great way to craft the climax.

I live in an area with a lot of retired folks, and I see mostly matinees because I'm cheap and don't like other people, so I saw It with like a dozen senior citizens. The broken arm was like the one thing in the entire movie that made them gasp.

What was the last good horror flick with a good score?
It Follows? The Witch, maybe? Covenant?
You know, the extended cut being as long as the original It would be kind of funny when you think about it!

Covenant's score has really grown on me. Granted, heavy use of the Goldsmith stuff helped a lot. but it's a legit good score, I think.
Honestly, for as downhill as the Alien series has gone since 1992, the scores never followed the same trajectory. It's maybe the only real constant across all the movies.

I liked the score of this movie quite a bit, not iconic or anything but I was happy with it. Really like the Every 27 Years piano piece.

I was simultaneously creeped out and impressed throughout the movie. Like this little voice in the back of my head was enjoying it from a filmmaking perspective while the rest of my was creeped out.
The only real scare for me was when Bev turns and he grabs her by the neck. The whole theatre jumped at that one.KojiKnight

Only 15 minutes extra? I hope they go over the footage and find more and convince WB to go all out.
Still, 15 minutes is at least a pretty decent extra chunk.
The few jump scares there were, were pretty well done. They added to the movie instead of distracting from it like most "horror" films.

I thought Pennywise was at his scariest in the opening with Georgie. He never really recaptured that same creepiness throughout the rest of the movie.
I liked the film overall but I was hoping for more from Pennywise. The friend I was with liked the film a lot less than I did, but we both had the same issues with Pennywise.

The library scene might be my favorite part of the movie (either that or the kids exploring the run down house). The lady in the background, the zooming in on the head, the Easter eggs that are smoking, and the headless boy which got a bit silly, but overall some really great stuff that were pretty damn creepy.

15 minutes is a lot of extra time in a movie, you guys. I mean, we also don't know how it's gonna cut together, what 15 minutes is going to do to the pacing
It's not just a matter of "slap it back in there because more = better."
Let's see how this 15 minutes re-integrates into the narrative before we start complaining that we didn't get more.
(there's also still a whole SECOND MOVIE to come, too)

I would love Dule Hill as Mike. Unfortunately he doesn't look much like the child actor

It Follows has the most unique horror movie soundtrack of at least the last decade.
the score is amazing
EDIT: then again, I love Fez lol

The thing is, considering IT is basically the evil counterpart of a being that created our universe, IT should have been way more powerful than Freddy, who is basically just a random monster. But it doesn't feel like that way, is it, especially IT as it's depicted in this movie.
For a cosmic being that existed before creation and the nemesis of a universe-creating entity. IT seems so weak in here.
