I don't know if I'm going to see it opening night or wait until part 2 comes out and watch both at the same time. Glad they're still sticking with the duology format though, it wouldn't do it any justice to mash the children and adult storylines together.


I didn't know they were doing that. Kinda glad. That way it isn't all condensed into a 2.5 hour movie.

I wonder how long it will be until part 2 comes out.


The last horror movie that really wowed me was The Babadook. I think this has potential to be on that level.

sure most remakes suck and certainly aren't needed.

But have you seen the original? It's hardly the polished article, King himself said he wasn't too impressed with it.

The original was a made for tv two-part miniseries and while Tim Curry is completely amazing as pennywise, the movie was alright for me when i was a kid. Just alright,

But like so many in the world i'm a huge King fanboy. So to see a decent budget go into making an actual true to form movie has got me excited.

Better this way, at least now they wont have to try to cram everything in one movie and end up leaving out things.

Sums it up perfectly.

I'm tired of the remake game as well, but I am happy to see a movie that actually needs a remake, get one. I'd also be happy if they did the Stand again. The series they did both for It and the Stand, just don't justify how great the books were at all.
