Re: It (2017)
The new Pennywise got some good reviews at an advanced screening. As did the whole movie. Hope that means something.

Re: It (2017)
there's always the risk that it will suck, but i think it will be good. can't be sure though, it's still an upcoming horror film.

Re: It (2017)
The 1990 mini-series is nostalgic, no doubt, but upon reading the actual novel, the 1990 version just seems so watered down (which makes sense, given it's a television production).
Hopefully we can get a harder edge, more inspired by the actual book, with this new version. I plan on seeing it opening night if possible.

Not just most anticipated horror movie for me this year, just most anticipated movie in general.
Re: It (2017)
Yeah, Even Star Wars doesn't have me quite as excited as IT. And I'm pretty damn excited for Star Wars.

Re: It (2017)
I'd be surprised if it was even hinted at. Still that and the pterodactyl scene in the book are the only ones that didn't gell with me.

Re: It (2017)
As a matter of fact, I'm re-reading it right now. I'll likely finish long before September, but I want it fresh in my mind when I see the movie (even though I read it something like seven months ago).

Re: It (2017)
I was thinking about rereading it again, but I rarely find the time to read anymore. *shrug*

I think it's fine, but would be cooler if they were revealing something on the tear-away side. Revealing one of his other forms or summat.
