You’ll Float with IT in September!

The road for Pennywise to have his day in the sun, or lurking around in the sewers, hasn’t been an easy one. For years, the project had “floated” around with no hope of every gracing the silver screen. After his success of the incredible 2014 “True Detective,” Cary Fukanaga soon boarded the project that he aimed for a 2016 release. Cary and the studio constantly clashed over the tone of the Stephen King novel. Cary wanted to do more of a slow burn film, while the studio wanted to, as Cary put it, make a typical jump scare horror film. In a later article, I will review the screenplay that he originally wrote with Chase Palmer that was a dated 2014 script. Soon after his departure, Andres (Andy) Muschetti, stepped into the director’s chair. His 2013 film “Mama” wasn’t my favorite film but he seemed serious on bringing something good to this material.
Our first glimpse of Pennywise came back last summer with a facial shot of the character. Then a few months later an official full body pose came out. The one thing that stuck out about this interpretation of the murderous clown is that the wardrobe looked like it was from another century. In actuality that is true of the novel’s presentation of him. He has been here for hundreds of years and became a clown during the Victorian age. Muschetti had already nailed the look of the character. Some people were and are still iffy about how the costume will look in motion. Well, the poster and trailer have been released and I think we are in for one hell of a ride

It was a hot day in the summer of 1994. I was eleven years old and enjoying being off from school for the entire summer. God, I miss those days when summer was vacant of responsibility and work. That day, my friends and I had just finished playing a short game of roller hockey, due to the extreme heat. My friend Brad, whose house we were playing in front of, mentioned a movie that his brother and his friends had seen the previous weekend. It was about a clown and was written by an author I had heard my older cousins talk about at numerous family gatherings. Brad’s brother had it on VHS, where he recorded it off the television. He had the brilliant idea to cut the commercials out too. His brother was at work, so we decided to check out “IT.”
The Losers’ Club Is Ready for IT
by Logan Myerz
There is one primal fear that most everyone can agree upon: the fear of clowns. The TV mini-series that changed and scarred my life forever was, obviously, Stephen King’s IT. Watching this as a young child and having that terror still surround me in my early 30’s is something that a lot of TV shows and films really lack these days. In 2016, we are doused with remakes, reboots, re-imaginings, and unfortunately they all really lack the focus of what the writers and filmmakers once stood for: originality. With that being said, IT has been around for twenty-five years and still holds up to this day. For a younger generation which may not be familiar with Pennywise and the children he terrorized and killed, he’s making his way to the big screen in 2017 to torture and haunt all over again!
Andy Muschietti (Mama) is taking the directing throne of the newest adaptation based off of the famous novel written by Stephen King. Finn Wolfhard posted a picture on his Instagram account of the new “Losers’ Club” that was taken on set in Toronto.
Jaeden Lieberher (St. Vincent) plays Bill Denbrough, the leader of The Losers’ Club. Other cast members include Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Uris, Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom. Owen Teague plays the teen bully Patrick Hockstetter.
It will be interesting to see these young actors take on the evil forces of Pennywise portrayed by Bill Skarsgard (Hemlock Grove). According to Hitfix.com, the story will be cut up into two films with the first film showcasing the children and the second film will be The Loser Club as adults, still facing their fears and overcoming the trauma they succumbed to at a young age.
One thing is for sure, this film will be bringing a larger shock value with more gore and scare tactics with an R rating.
The first film will hit theaters on September 8th, 2017.
