Plot
On a rainy day in October 1988, Bill Denbrough gives his seven-year-old brother Georgie a sailboat made from
notebook paper. Georgie takes the boat out onto the street and sails it down the water-filled gutter. He
accidentally lets the boat wash into the sewer with the flowing water. As he peers into the Storm drain, he's
startled by the presence in the sewer of a strange man dressed as a clown who introduces himself as "Pennywise
the Dancing Clown". Pennywise claims that the storm blew the whole circus, including him, into the sewers
and offers Georgie his boat to lure the boy closer. When Georgie reaches in, Pennywise grabs his arm and bites
it off before dragging the boy into the sewer.

Eight months later, in June 1989, on the last day of term at Derry High School, Bill and his friends Richie
Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stanley Uris run afoul of bully Henry Bowers and his gang. At the same time,
Beverly Marsh, a young girl abused by her father and bullied mercilessly for being a "slut", runs into Ben
Hanscom, a kind but overweight new kid who secretly has a crush on her.

While making a delivery to a local butcher shop for his grandfather, homeschooled Mike Hanlon encounters
Pennywise before nearly getting run over by Henry. Bill, still haunted by Georgie's disappearance and the
resulting neglect from his grief-stricken parents, discovers that his brother's body may have washed up in the
marshy wasteland called the Barrens and recruits his friends to check it out. Meanwhile, Ben Hanscom finds a
book on Derry's history while in the town library, learning the town has been plagued by mysterious
unexplained tragedies and child disappearances for centuries. Ben is then lured to the basement by mysterious
easter eggs like the ones from the Kitchener Ironworks incident, narrowly escaping Pennywise in the form of a
burnt, headless boy. But Ben is runs into Henry's gang, fleeing into the Barrens when Henry attempted to carve
his name on the boy's stomach. Ben runs into Billy's group as they found the sneaker of a missing girl named
Betty Ripsom while searching for Georgie, getting supplies from a local pharmacy to treat his wounds with
Beverly's help. At the same time, Henry's friend Patrick Hockstetter is killed by Pennywise while wandering in
the sewers for Ben.

The next day, Eddie is attacked by Pennywise in the form of a rotting leper while passing an abandoned house
on Neibolt Street. Stan has a traumatizing experience encounter the clown in the form of an animated figure
from a painting. Beverly hears the the voices of several missing children, including Patrick, coming from her
bathroom sink. A clog of her cut hair ties her to the sink as she is covered in the erupting blood that coats the
bathroom. Her father comes in to investigate and Beverly realizes that Mr. Marsh cannot see the blood. Bill is
lured into the basement of his house by what he thought is Georgie, narrowly escaping Pennywise. Soon after,
helping Beverly clean her bathroom as they can see the blood, Bill and his friends discover Henry's gang
beating up Mike. They chase the bullies off with rocks and befriend Mike.

A few weeks later, the group, who now refer to themselves as "The Losers Club", come to realize that they are
each being terrorized by the same entity. Noticing that "It" assumes the appearance of what they fear, Ben
deduced that the creature wakes up every 27 years to feed on the children of Derry before returning to
hibernation. While in Bill's garage, nearly killed by Pennywise, the group determines that It moves about
unseen by using the sewers around the Derry's well on which 29 Neibolt Street is build. to move around unseen.
After Bill, Richie, and Eddie enter the house while the others remain outside, Pennywise separates the trio and
attempts to pick them off starting with Eddie after he broke his arm while falling through a hole upstairs. But
the rest of the Losers arrive and Beverly impales It through the head with a fence post, the clown limping off
into the well after slashing Ben. Eddie's mother arrives and is horrified by her son's broken arm, taking him
away. The group begins to splinter, with Richie, Stan, and Mike abandoning the others of fear when Bill insists
that they continue to hunt It.

One day in August, Beverly manages to incapacitate her father with a porcelain toilet lid when he attempts to
rape her. But she is abducted by Pennywise, with Bill reassembling the Losers and mount a rescue. It responds
by giving Henry, who is gradually becoming insane, his missing switchblade while compelling Henry to
murder his abusive father before sending him to kill the Losers. At the Neibolt house, the others manage to
reach a pathway in the well while Mike is attacked by Henry. During the struggle, Mike pushes Henry down the
well, where he seemingly falls to his death. It lures Stan from the others to eat him, only to be chased off when
the others arrive. They then find It's lair in an underground cooling tower, containing a mountain of decaying
circus props and children's belongings, where they find a catatonic Beverly hovering below the floating corpses
of the missing children. While the others pull Beverly to the ground, Ben's kiss restoring her to consciousness,
Bill uses Mike's gun to in an attempt to kill It when the creature attempted to trick him as Georgie. But It
reverted to Pennywise and grabbed Bill, offering to spare the other Losers if they allow him to eat their friend.
Instead, they break Bill free and brutally wound It despite its attempts to use their fears against them. Bill
coldly tells the wounded Pennywise that they know It needs their fear to survive, and that they effectively
starving the creature by making It fear them. Knowing he has no more power over them while beginning to
dissolve, It escapes into a deep pit and the floating children float back into the ground. Upon discovering
Georgie's yellow raincoat, Bill accepts his brother's death and emotionally breaks down while the others
comfort him.

One month later, Beverly informs the group of a vision she had while catatonic from seeing It's deadlight,
where she saw them fighting the creature as adults. The Losers form a blood oath that they will return to Derry
in 27 years if It returns and destroy the creature once and for all. After the other Losers depart one by one,
Beverly tells Bill that she is moving to live with her aunt in Portland the following morning. Before Beverly
leaves, Bill reveals his true feelings and they kiss.

In an after-credits audio clip children continue to sing "Oranges and Lemons", while Pennywise laughs
maniacally indicating that he has survived.[20]

Cast
Jaeden Lieberher as William "Bill" Denbrough:
The leader of the Losers' Club, who, with the help of his friends, vows to get revenge on the monster for
the death of his young brother, Georgie.[21][22] Denbrough losing his brother makes the battle against It a
more personal crusade for him than any of the others. That and his stutter is what binds him to the group
and transforms him into Big Bill, the leader.[23] On the character of Denbrough, Muschietti spoke of him
knowing a situation of despair, on top of the terror of It and the fear of heights, to which he stated, "Bill
is like a ghost in his own home: nobody sees him because his parents can't get over Georgie's death."[24]
Ty Simpkins was considered for the role in Cary Fukunaga's production.[25][26]
Bill Skarsgrd as It / Pennywise the Dancing Clown[N 1]:
An ancient, trans-dimensional evil that awakens every twenty-seven years.[27][28][29][30] Will Poulter was
previously cast in the role but was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts,[27] with Poulter stating,
"I was when Mr. Fukunaga was directing, but the circumstances at New Line are such that a new
director's attached now."[31] Poulter continued, "I think, with all due respect to him of course, I was
selected by Cary and subscribed to Cary's vision for the movie, and so I haven't had a chance to connect
with that [new] director."[32] Mark Rylance, Ben Mendelsohn, Kirk Acevedo, Richard Armitage, Hugo
Weaving and Tilda Swinton were considered for the role,[33][34][35][36][37] with Mendelsohn passing on
the project, as New Line wanted him to take a sizable pay cut.[38] On June 3, 2016, The Independent
officially reported, after final negotiations took place, that Muschietti had chosen actor Bill Skarsgrd to
portray the character.[39] On portraying Pennywise, Skarsgrd stated, "It's such an extreme character.
Inhumane, It's beyond even a sociopath, because he's not even human. He's not even a clown. I'm playing
just one of the beings It creates."[40] Skarsgrd described the character further, saying, "It truly enjoys the

shape of the clown Pennywise, and enjoys the game and the hunt." He also commented,[41] "What's
shape of the clown Pennywise, and enjoys the game and the hunt." He also commented,[41] "What's
funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else. But he thinks it's funny."[42] On
Pennywise's design, Skarsgrd stated, "It's important that we do something fresh and original for this one.
It's purposely not going toward that weird, greasy look."[43] He also commented on being compared to
Tim Curry, stating that, "[Curry]'s performance was truly great, but it's important for me to do something
different because of that. I'll never be able to make a Tim Curry performance as good as Tim
Curry."[44][45] Skarsgrd also elaborated on his age, stating, "There's a childishness to the character,
because he's so closely linked to the kids. The clown is the manifestation of children's imaginations, so
there's something child-like about that."[46] Producer Dan Lin spoke of Skarsgrd's physical attributes:
"His build is really interesting. He's really tall and lanky, and feels a little clown like in his movement.
When he came inwe had a lot of different actors read, and when he came in he had a different spin on
the character that got us really excited."[47] Lin concluded by contrasting the character with that of Heath
Ledger's Joker, "You've had [Ledger] doing almost a clown joker, you've seen obviously Tim Curry as a
clown. We wanted someone who created a Pennywise character that would stand on its own and Bill
came in and created this character that frankly freaked us out."[47] Muschietti spoke of Skarsgrd's
Pennywise as one not to lurk in the shadows, to which he remarked, "Pennywise shows up, he's front and
center, and he does his show. He has an act ... So it's weird all the time, and every little thing implies a
further threat."[48][49][50][51][52] Muschietti also spoke of wanting to make the sense of dread that grows
in Derry part of the dread of Pennywise, to which he stated, "He's not just a character that can shape-
shift, his influence is all around. The anticipation of him is almost scarier than the actual Pennywise
scares."[53] On selecting Skarsgrd to portray Pennywise, Muschietti wanted to stay true to the essence of
the character, and Skarsgrd caught his attention,[54] "The character has a childish and sweet demeanor,
but theres something very off about him. Bill has that balance in him. He can be sweet and cute, but he
can be pretty disturbing."[55]
Jeremy Ray Taylor as Benjamin "Ben" Hanscom:
Hanscom being overweight earns his place in the Losers' Club, but like all of the Losers, there are
underlying facets that define him far more than his weight.[23][56] On the character of Hanscom,
Muschietti spoke of him knowing a situation of despair, "... Ben is bullied at school."[57]
Sophia Lillis as Beverly "Bev" Marsh:
The only female member of the Losers' Club, who forms a strong bond with Ben Hanscom.[58] Beverly's
Losership was not defined by the fact she was abused but by her poverty.[23][56] On the character of
Marsh, Muschietti spoke of her knowing a situation of despair, "Beverly's case is of course the worst,
because its about sexual abuse on a minor."[59] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lillis spoke of
Muschietti not wanting her and her co-stars to spend too much time with Skarsgrd: "We actually weren't
allowed to see him until our scenes, because we wanted the horror to be real."[60] On Skarsgrd's
appearance as Pennywise, she recalled, "Everyone had different reactions, but all of us were like, 'Wow,
what did we get ourselves into?' One look at him, and ... you know, he's a really scary clown that wants to
kill us. I was a little bit shocked."[60] On her connection with her fellow co-stars, she noted that the
closeness of the friendships formed allowed Lillis to connect with her own character: "I relate to Beverly
the way she deals with her emotions, and the way she was around the Losers. I felt that way around the
actual actors."[60]
Finn Wolfhard as Richard "Richie" Tozier:
The bespectacled best friend of Bill Denbrough, also known as 'Trashmouth Tozier' due to his foul
language and loud mouth, that often get him into trouble.[23][56] Wolfhard shared the first image of the
Losers Club on his Instagram account, with the photo captioned as "The Losers Club take Toronto",
showing the cast of actors who would play the protagonists. Wolfhard was the only actor cast in both this
and Fukunaga's version.[61][62][63] On the character of Tozier, Muschietti spoke of him knowing a
situation of despair, "We don't know much about Richie's personality, because he's the big mouth of the
group. But we suppose he's also neglected at home, and he's the clown of the band because he needs
attention."[64]
Wyatt Oleff as Stanley "Stan" Uris:
A Jewish germaphobe with a stronger belief in the pragmatic, whose bird book and calling of the birds
are the only magic he allows himself to believe in.[23] On the character of Uris, Muschietti spoke of him
knowing a situation of despair, "Long story short, theres all sorts of difficult situations, and we had the
 chance to tell them in a movie that faces directly those conflicts ... the families of the young actors were
very open-minded, so we could tell them about subjects that are normally very touchy."[65]
Chosen Jacobs as Michael "Mike" Hanlon:
An African American autodidact of history, who relays the incidents of Derry's past to his friends The
fire at the Black Spot, the Bradley Gang shoot-out, and the mass-murder at the Silver Dollar. Living with
his grandfather Leroy, Mike was orphaned at a young age, due to his parents' death in a
fire.[23][66][56][67][65] On the experience of shooting Muschietti's piece, Jacobs spoke of the experience as
"... my favorite summer of my 16 long years on earth ..."[68]
Jack Dylan Grazer as Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak:
Kaspbrak is the epitome of the hypochondriac, overly exaggerated by the immense amount of objects in
his medicine cabinet; a sickly boy who only feels truly well when he is with his friends.[23][56][65] Grazer
spoke of his appreciation of films such as Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) and Batman (1989) that gave him "...
insight on how [he] could [improvise] or reuse those things as references to the time period."[69]
Nicholas Hamilton as Henry Bowers:
A young sociopath who leads the Bowers Gang, a gang of high school thugs, and terrorizes the Losers'
Club.[70][71] Hamilton prepared for the role by studying Jarred Blancard's portrayal of the character in It
(1990), and in Hamilton's words, "watched all the bits of my original character" for research.[72]
Hamilton added, through the character of Bowers, that "There's stuff that I have to do that is really creepy
and the opportunity to help share my psychotic side has been really fun."[72] Additionally Hamilton
stated, "I recently did a scene where I was working with Jeremy Ray Taylor. I had to terrorize the hell out
of him and get right in his face."[72]
Jackson Robert Scott as George "Georgie" Denbrough :
The innocent, energetic 7-year-old brother of Bill Denbrough. His demise at the hands of Pennywise
results in the next summer's events.[73][74]

animals that he has killed;[75][76][77] Logan Thompson appears as Victor "Vic" Criss, the inseparable friend of

Production
The project first entered development in 2009.[89][90][91] The proposed film adaptation went through three
phases of planning: initially a single film with screenwriter David Kajganich; then the dual film project, first
with Cary Fukunaga attached as director and co-writer, then with Andy Muschietti.[83][92][93][94]

Kajganich project (20092010)

On March 12, 2009, Variety reported that Warner Bros. would bring Stephen King's novel to the big screen,
with David Kajganich adapting the novel, and Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Doug Davison producing the piece.[95]
When Kajganich learnt of Warner Bros.' plans to adapt King's novel, he went after the job.[96] Knowing that
Warner Bros. was committed to adapting It as a single feature film, Kajganich began to reread the novel in an
attempt to try to find a structure that would accommodate such a large number of characters in two different
time periods, around 120 pages, which was one of Warner Bros.' stipulations.[97] Kajganich worked with Lin,
Lee, and Davison on The Invasion (2007), and he knew they would champion good storytelling, and allow him
the time to work out a solid first draft of the screenplay.[98] Kajganich spoke of the remake being set in the,
"mid-1980s and in the present ... mirroring the twenty-odd-year gap King uses in the book ... and with a great
deal of care and attention paid to the backstories of all the characters".[99]

Kajganich also mentioned that Warner Bros. wished for the adaptation to be rated R, saying, "... we can really
honor the book and engage with the traumas (both the paranormal ones and those they deal with at home and
school) that these characters endure".[100] He said that his dream choice for Pennywise would be Buster Keaton
if he were still alive, and that the Pennywise that he scripted is "less self-conscious of his own irony and
surreality".[101] As of June 29, 2010, Kajganich was re-writing his screenplay.[102]

Fukunaga project (20122015)

On June 7, 2012, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Cary

Fukunaga was boarding the project as director, and will co-write "I am in the midst of rewriting the first

tormented by It, and the second will skip ahead in time as those What could be there, and the sounds and
[105] how it interacts with things, is scarier than
same characters band together to continue the fight as adults. actual monsters."
Lin also stated that Fukunaga was then only committed to Cary Fukunaga, on the development of
directing the first film, though was currently closing a deal to co- It[103]
write the second. Lin concluded by mentioning King, to which he
remarked, "The most important thing is that [King] gave us his
blessing. We didn't want to make this unless he felt it was the right way to go, and when we sent him the script,
the response that Cary got back was, 'Go with God, please! This is the version the studio should make.' So that
was really gratifying."[106] Lin confirmed that Fukunaga was set to begin principal photography in the summer
of 2016.[107]

On February 3, 2015, Fukunaga was interviewed by Slate, and spoke about It, mentioning that he has someone
in mind for the role of Pennywise.[108] On March 3, 2015, Fukunaga noted his goal to find the "perfect guy to
play Pennywise". Fukunaga also revealed that he, Kajganich and Palmer had changed the names and dates in
the script, adding, "... the spirit is similar to what he'd like to see in cinemas".[109] On May 4, 2015, it was
officially announced that Will Poulter had been cast to play Pennywise, after Fukunaga was "blown away" by
his audition.[110][111] Ty Simpkins was then considered to play one of The Losers' Club members.[25]

On May 25, 2015, it was reported that Fukunaga had dropped out as the director of It.[112] According to
TheWrap, Fukunaga clashed with the studio and did not want to compromise his artistic vision in the wake of
budget cuts by New Line, which greenlit the first film at $30 million.[113] However, Fukunaga maintained that
was not the case, stating he had bigger disagreements with New Line over the direction of the story, "I was
trying to make an unconventional horror film. It didn't fit into the algorithm of what they knew they could
spend and make money back on based on not offending their standard genre audience."[114] He made mention
that the budget was fine, as well as his desire to make Pennywise more than just the clown.[114] Fukunaga
concluded by stating, "We invested years and so much anecdotal storytelling in it. Chase and I both put our
childhood in that story. So our biggest fear was they were going to take our script and bastardize it ... So I'm
actually thankful that they are going to rewrite the script. I wouldn't want them to stealing our childhood
memories and using that ... I was honoring King's spirit of it, but I needed to update it. King saw an earlier draft
and liked it."[114][115] On Fukunaga's departure, King wrote, "The remake of IT may be deador undeadbut
we'll always have Tim Curry. He's still floating down in the sewers of Derry."[116][117]

Muschietti project (20152017)

On July 16, 2015, it was announced that Andy Muschietti was in

negotiations to direct It, with New Line beginning a search for a
new writer to tailor a script to Muschietti's vision.[119][120] The
announcement also confirmed the possible participation of
Muschietti's sister, Barbara Muschietti, as a producer, and Richard
Brener joining Hamada, Neustadter and Kuykendall to oversee
the project.[119] On April 22, 2016, it was indicated that Will
Poulter, who had been cast to portray Pennywise in Fukunaga's
version, had dropped out of the film due to a scheduling conflict
and that executives were meeting with actors to portray the
antagonist.[121] Also that day, New Line Cinema set the film for a
release of September 8, 2017.[122][123]
"The way Cary intended to execute the
script is something that only he can talk
about. I can say my version of It highly
emphasizes Pennywise's most terrifying
virtue, which is it's ability to materialise into
your worse fear; I want to take people in a
journey into Pennywise's world through a
disturbing, surrealistic and intoxicating
experience that will leave nobody at ease."
Andy Muschietti, on his version of It[118]

On October 30, 2015, Muschietti was interviewed by Variety wherein he spoke about his vision of It, while
mentioning Poulter was still in the mix for the role of Pennywise: "[Poulter] would be a great option. For me he
is at the top of my list ...."[124] He confirmed that next summer is the time for them to start shooting. It was
decided to shoot It during the summer months to give the filmmakers time to work with the children who have
the main roles in the first part of the film.[125] Muschietti went on to say that "King described 50s' terror
iconography", adding that he feels there is a whole world now to "rediscover, to update". He said there would
not be any mummies or werewolves and that the "terrors are going to be a lot more surprising".[126] On
February 19, 2016, at the D.I.C.E. Summit 2016, producer Roy Lee confirmed that Fukunaga and Chase
Palmer's original script had been rewritten, remarking, "It will hopefully be shooting later this year. We just got
the California tax credit ... [Dauberman] wrote the most recent draft working with [Muscetti], so it's being
envisioned as two movies."[127]

On May 5, 2016, in an interview with Collider.com, David Kajganich expressed uncertainty as to whether
drafts of his original screenplay would be used by Dauberman and Muschietti,[128] with the writer stating, "We
know there's a new director, I don't know myself whether he's going back to any of the previous drafts or
writing from scratch. I may not know until the film comes out. I don't know how it works! If you find out let
me know."[128]

On June 2, 2016, Jaeden Lieberher was confirmed as portraying lead protagonist Bill Denbrough,[21] while The
Hollywood Reporter reported that Bill Skarsgrd was in final negotiations to star as Pennywise, with a cast also
including Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor.[28] Also that
day, there was a call for 100 background performers, with the background actor call going from 3 p.m. to 7
p.m.; by 4 p.m., more than 300 people had gone through. The casting call also asked for a marching band and
period cars between 1970 and 1989.[129] On June 9, 2016, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Owen Teague
was set to portray Patrick Hocksetter.[75] On June 21, 2016, it was officially announced that Nicholas Hamilton
had been cast to play Henry Bowers,[130] and Bloody Disgusting reported that Javier Botet had been added to
the cast shortly before filming commenced.[131][132] On June 22, 2016, Deadline.com reported that Muschietti
had chosen Sophia Lillis to portray Beverly Marsh,[58] and on June 24, 2016, Moviepilot wrote that Stephen
Bogaert had been added to the cast shortly before filming commenced, portraying Al Marsh, the abusive father
of Beverly Marsh.[85]

On July 22, 2016, Barbara Muschietti was interviewed by Northumberland News' Karen Longwell, wherein she
spoke about the filming locations on It, while mentioning the beauty of Port Hope being one of the reasons as
to why it was chosen. Muschietti added, "We were looking for an idyllic town, one that would be a strong
contrast to the story. Port Hope is the kind of place we all wish we had grown up in: long summers riding
bicycles, walks by the lake, a lovely main street, charming homes with green lawns, warm people."[78]
Muschietti also mentioned that 360 extras from the area, from adults to small children, had been involved.[78]

On August 11, 2016, at The CW TCA presentation for the series Frequency, producer Dan Lin spoke of the
piece's comparison to Netflix's Stranger Things, describing It being a "homage to 80s movies", while
remarking: "I think a great analogy is actually Stranger Things, and we're seeing it on Netflix right now. It's
very much an homage to '80s movies, whether it's classic Stephen King or even Spielberg. Think about Stand
by Me (1986) as far as the bonding amongst the kids. But there is a really scary element in Pennywise."[47] Lin
continued, speaking of how well the young cast had bonded in the first weeks of shooting, "We clearly had a
great dynamic amongst the kids. Really great chemistry is always a challenging thing with a movie like It
because you're casting kids who don't have a ton of experience, but it ended up being really natural. Each kid,
like a The Goonies (1985) or Stand by Me (1986), has a very specific personality and they're forming the loser's
club obviously ... We've spent a few months getting the kids to bond and now they're going to fight this evil,
scary clown."[47]

On February 9, 2017, at the press day for The Lego Batman Movie (2017), Lin confirmed that It would be rated
R by the MPAA, and stated to Collider.com's Steve Weintraub, "If you're going to make a "Rated-R movie",
you have to fully embrace what it is, and you have to embrace the source material. It is a scary clown that's
trying to kill kids. ... They do have a scary clown thats taken over the town of Derry, so its going to be rated
R."[133] On March 11, 2017, Muschietti, at the SXSW festival, spoke of an element of the pre-production phase
in his attempt to keep Skarsgrd separated from the film's child actors, wherein the actor was not introduced to
the young cast until Pennywise's first encounter with the children:[134] "It was something that we agreed on,
and that's how it happened ... The day that he showed up on the stage, they f*cking freaked out. Bill is like,
seven-foot high, and I can't describe how scary he looks in person. He's a wiry man, crouching, making sounds,
snotting, drooling, speaking in Swedish sometimes. Terrifying."[135] Muschietti stated that the story had been
moved forward, with the scenes with the young Losers Club shifting from the 1950s to the 1980s, while also
describing the plot as "getting much wider", with new material not in the novel or the 1990 miniseries.[136]
However, Muschietti said he hoped the material would still strike the same emotional resonance that the book
did for him when he first read it: "It's all about trying to hit the core and the heart."[136]

On July 12, 2017, Muschietti, in an interview with French magazine Mad Movies, spoke of the R rating
allowing him to go into adult themes, which was championed from the people at New Line Cinema.[137][138]
He also stated that, "... if you aimed for a PG-13 movie, you had nothing at the end. So we were very lucky that
the producers didn't try to stop us. In fact it's more our own moral compass that sometimes showed us that some
things lead us in places where we didn't want to go."[139][140] In the same interview, on July 12, 2017, producer
Barbara Muschietti added that there was only one scene that was deemed to be too horrific to feature in the new
adaptation, stating,[141] "... you won't find the scene where a kid has his back broken and is thrown in the
toilets. We thought that the visual translation of that scene had something that was really too much."[142][143]
Muschietti concluded by emphasizing that nothing was removed from the original vision, nor was the violence
of any event watered down.[144]

On July 19, 2017, in an interview with Variety's Brent Lang, director Muschietti commented of the monstrous
forms that It will be taking, as well as noting the fact that they are very different from the incarnations present
in King's story,[145] "The story is the same, but there are changes in the things the kids are scared of. In the
book they're children in the '50s, so the incarnations of the monsters are mainly from movies, so it's Wolf Man,
the Mummy, Frankenstein, [and] Dracula. I had a different approach. I wanted to bring out deeper fears, based
not only on movie monsters but on childhood traumas."[146][147] While on the topic of the key to a successful
horror film, Muschietti concluded by remarking that "Stay true to what scares you. If you don't respect that, you
can't scare anyone."[148] Muschietti explained how Skarsgrd caught his attention to embody Pennywise, while
pointing out that he did not want the young cast to spend too much time with the actor when not shooting, and
encouraged them to "maintain distance", wherein Muschietti detailed:[149][150] "We wanted to carry the impact
of the encounters to when the cameras were rolling. The first scene where Bill interacted with the children, it
was fun to see how the plan worked. The kids were really, really creeped out by Bill. He's pretty intimidating
because he's six-four and has all this makeup."[151]

Filming

Production designer Mara LePere-Schloop went to Bangor,

Port Hope had undergone a number of changes to
transform into the town ofDerry.
Maine, to scope out locations, including the Thomas Hill
Standpipe, the land running alongside the Kenduskeag Stream
that in It is called The Barrens, and the Waterworks on the
Penobscot River.[15] LePere-Schloop said that they were hoping
to shoot some scenes in the city, and possibly take some aerial
shots.[15] On May 31, 2016, Third Act Productions was
confirmed to have applied to film interior and exterior scenes
for It in the municipality of Port Hope, with filming slated for
various locations around the municipality from July 11, 2016 to
July 18, 2016.[14] Principal photography begun in Toronto, with
an original shooting schedule from June 27 to September 6,
2016.[152][153][154]

By July 8, 2016, Port Hope had undergone changes to transform it into Derry; Port Hope Municipal hall was
the Derry Public Library,[155] The Port Hope Tourism Centre became the City of Derry office,[155] Ganaraska
Financial was remade as Montgomery Financial,[155] Gould's Shoes store front on Walton Street changed to a
butcher shop,[155] The Avanti Hair Design store front changed to Tony's Barber Shop,[155] an empty storefront
at 36 Walton Street changed to Reliance Cleaners,[155] Queen Street Tattoo store front changed to Derry
Scoop,[155] a statue of Paul Bunyan was erected in Memorial Park,[155] US flags hung in place of Canadian
flags downtown,[155] and Port Hope Capitol Theatre had appeared to be showing Batman (1989) and Lethal
Weapon 2 (1989), thus confirming the film's 1989 setting.[155][156][157]

On July 11, 2016, preliminary shooting took place in Port Hope Town Hall, Memorial Park cenotaph, Queen
Street, between Walton and Robertson streets and the Capitol Theatre.[158] On July 12, 2016, filming occurred
between the intersection of Mill and Walton street, Walton Street bridge, and in front and behind 1622 Walton
Street and Port Hope Town Hall.[158] Other shooting locations included Queen Street between Walton and
Roberston street, and Memorial Park, on July 13.[158] It was also reported, on July 14, that filming had been set
up on the alley between Gould's Shoe's and Avanti Hair Design, and John and Hayward streets.[158] Filming
moved to Cavan Street, between Highland Drive and Ravine Drive, and Victoria Street South, between
Trafalgar Street and Sullivan Street, on July 15.[158] Filming in Port Hope ended on July 18, at Watson's
Guardian Drugs.[158]

Oshawa had been chosen by producers of It as the next filming location, and on July 20, 2016, filming notices
were sent out to homes in the area of Eulalie Avenue and James Street, near downtown Oshawa, advising
residents that filming would take place in the area from August 5 to August 8, 2016.[159] On July 29, 2016, it
was announced the crew had worked on the formerly vacant lot at the dead end of James Street constructing the
set, in the form of a dilapidated old house.[160] It was also remarked that the structure is a facade built around
scaffolding that would be used for exterior shots.[159] The set was composed of pre-fabricated modules that
were trucked in and put into place by IATSE carpenters.[161]

On July 18, 2016, production crews had arrived in Riverdale, Toronto,[162][163][164] with filming beginning at
450 Pape Ave, which is home to a circa 1902 heritage-designated building called Cranfield House, up until
August 19, 2016.[165][166] It was reported on September 4 that filming had wrapped in Oshawa, which included
the haunted house location, as well as on Court and Fisher streets.[167] Principal photography was confirmed to
have ended in Toronto on September 21, 2016,[168][169] with an altered shooting schedule occurring from June
27 to September 21, 2016, and post-production initially beginning on September 14, 2016.[170][171]
Design

Costume design

On August 16, 2016, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, costume

designer Janie Bryant spoke of crafting Pennywise's form-fitting suit and the
inspirations it drew from involving a number of eras among them Medieval,
Renaissance, Elizabethan, and Victorian.[172] Bryant explained that the costume
incorporates all these otherworldly past lives, highlighting the point that
Pennywise is a clown from a different time.[173] In designing Pennywise's
costume, Bryant included a Fortuny pleating, which gives the costume an almost a
crepe-like effect,[174] to which Bryant remarked, "It's a different technique than
what the Elizabethans would do. It's more organic, it's more sheer. It has a
whimsical, floppy quality to it. It's not a direct translation of a ruff or a whisk,
which were two of the collars popular during the Elizabethan period."[175]

Bryant played with multiple eras as a way of reflecting Pennywise's immortality, Pennywise's gray costume
and added a "doll-like quality to the costume". [175][176] She furthered stated, "The was partly inspired by the
pants being short, the high waistline of the jacket, and the fit of the costume is a clothing style of the
very important element. It gives the character a child-like quality." [175][177] Renaissance.
Bryant spoke of the two puffs off the shoulder, sleeves and again on the bloomers,
with her desire to create an "organic, gourd or pumpkin kind of effect", which
includes the peplum at the waist, and the flared, skirt-like fabric blossoming from below his doublet.[175][178]
She explains, "It helps exaggerate certain parts of the body. The costume is very nipped in the waist and with
the peplum and bloomers it has an expansive silhouette."[175] The main color of his costume is a dusky gray,
but with a few splashes of colour.[175] She concludes the interview by stating, "The pompoms are orange, and
then with the trim around the cuffs and the ankles, it's basically a ball fringe that's a combination of orange, red,
and cinnamon. It's almost like Pennywise fades into his environment. But there are accents to pull out the
definition of the gray silk."[179]

Visual effects

Nicholas Brooks was the overall visual effects supervisor, and visual effects company Rodeo FX worked on
most of the visual effects on It.[180][181][182] Amalgamated Dynamics worked on the special makeup
effects.[183]

Themes
The film has been described as a loss of innocence story, with fear, mortality and survivalist themes.[184]
Muschietti remarked of the film's elements of coming of age and issues of mortality, adding that such themes
are prevalent in King's book, though in reality they occur in a more progressive way,[185] "There's a passage [in
It] that reads, 'Being a kid is learning how to live and being an adult is learning how to die.' There's a bit of a
metaphor of that and it just happens in a very brutal way, of course."[185]

He also mentioned the characterization of Pennywise's survivalist attitude, and a passage in the novel which
inspired Muschietti was when Bill wonders if Pennywise is eating children simply because that is what people
are told monsters do,[186] "It's a tiny bit of information, but that sticks with you so much. Maybe it is real as
long as children believe in it. And in a way, Pennywise's character is motivated by survival. In order to be alive
in the imagination of children, he has to keep killing."[187][188] While Muschietti acknowledged It being a
horror film, he felt that it is not simply that, "It's a story of love and friendship and a lot of other beautiful
emotions."[189]
The graphic sexual content that was in the novel and Fukunaga's original script was not included in the
film.[190]

Music
On March 23, 2017, Benjamin Wallfisch was announced as the composer of It's score.[191]

The soundtrack album was released in preview on August 2017.[192]

Release
It was released in North America on September 8, 2017.[193] In Europe, the film was released in Belgium on
September 6, 2017, Denmark and the Netherlands on September 7, 2017,[194][195] and Norway and Finland on
September 8, 2017.[196] On March 7, 2017, the alternate title of the film was announced by Stephen King as
Part 1 The Losers Club.[197][198] In addition to the conventional 2D format, It was also released across 615
IMAX screens globally, including 389 domestically.[199]

Marketing

On January 31, 2016, Muschietti, on his Instagram, posted a sketch that was thought to be the precursor to
Pennywise's final look, to celebrate pre-production getting underway.[200][201][202] Beginning from July 11,
2016, Muschietti posted a variety of missing person posters of children within the Derry area, including Betty
Ripsom, Richie Tozier, Paul Greenberg, Jonathan Chan, and Tania McGowan.[203][204][205][206]

The first official image for It debuted on July 13, 2016, introducing the
first look at Skarsgrd's Pennywise The Dancing Clown,[207] as well as
an interview with Skarsgrd, conducted by Anthony
Breznican.[208][209] Thomas Freeman of Maxim wrote "... Skarsgard in
full, terrifying costume, ... he's clearly got what it takes to fill King's
most macabre, nightmare-inducing creation."[210] Chris Eggertsen of
HitFix responded positively, stating the image to be "... an appropriately
macabre look that doesn't deviate too radically from the aesthetic of
Curry's Pennywise ... dare I say, a more creepily seductive look to
Skarsgard's version that was absent from Curry's interpretation."[211]

On July 30, 2016, Muschietti released three storyboard images, up until

the date of August 22, 2016, with the first featuring Bill Denbrough
making a paper boat for his younger brother George.[212] The second
storyboard features Bill leading his bike, nicknamed Silver, across a
Muschietti shared a photo of amissing lawn with the included phrase:[213] "He thrusts his fists against the

campaign.
On August 16, 2016, Entertainment Weekly released the full costume
image of Skarsgrd's Pennywise to promote It,[175] including an
interview with costume designer Janie Bryant.[217][218] JoBlo.com's Damion Damaske was fond of the new
design, though was understanding of others being dismissive of it. Damaske also stated, "One of the chief
complaints is that it looked too automatically scary, and that one of the reasons Pennywise chooses his guise is
to trick and lure children."[219] Dave Trumbore of Collider.com noted that "This one's going to divide some
folks. It's nowhere near as baggy or colorful as the one Tim Curry ... donned ..., but the new version certainly
seems to have a lot more thought and intent behind its creation."[220] Jonathan Barkan of Bloody Disgusting
called the image one of "... [drawing] attention and curiosity". Barkan then stated "I don't know if it's morbid
curiosity or hopeful wishes but the overall response to his face and makeup seemed to be quite positive!"[221]

On March 9, 2017, Neha Aziz of SXSW announced that Muschietti would appear at a screening event titled,
Face Your Fears, to share footage from It, while discussing his inspirations and influences.[222][223] On March
11, 2017, New Line Cinema showcased its promotion of It by releasing a teaser trailer and a scene at the South
by Southwest festival.[224][225] Trace Thurman of Bloody Disgusting heralded the trailer: "It was maybe 90
seconds of footage, but it was a damn impressive 90 seconds of footage ... As far as teasers go, it's one of the
best that I've ever seen."[226][227] Dread Central's Jonathan Barkan praised the scene, and stated, "The kids are
clearly very adept at working off one another. There was a chemistry between the four that was wonderful to

see and its obvious that Muschietti worked very hard to ensure they were believable."[228] Eric Vespe of Ain't
see and its obvious that Muschietti worked very hard to ensure they were believable."[228] Eric Vespe of Ain't
It Cool News remarked that "... this one scene shows us the key traits of the bulk of the members of the Losers
Club within one sequence. I loved it for that reason."[229]

On March 28, 2017, New Line released a 139-second teaser trailer to promote It,[230] following a 19-second
trailer and the official teaser poster the prior day,[231][232][233] and for exhibitors at CinemaCon.[234][235] Tom
Philip of GQ heralded the trailer and its tonality by stating: "Dark corners everywhere and a pervading sense of
absolute doom, even in the scenes where the creature isn't looming. That projector scene! Christ!"[236] Michael
Gold of The New York Times praised the trailer, and stated: "There's always tension in the sustained string
chords of the soundtrack, and it imbues everything with suspense and darkness."[237] Wired's Brian Raftery
spoke most highly of the trailer, to which he stated, "The teaser's scariest moment features no gore or gotcha-
ness; instead, it involves a misfiring slide-projector and a barely discernible clown-grin. Nothing in the It trailer
feels like a cheap thrill, which is all the more thrilling."[238] IndieWire's William Earl reacted positively to the
"top-notch" production design of Derry, Maine within the trailer.[239] The trailer reached 197 million views in
its first 24 hours, setting a new record as the trailer with the most views in one day.[240][241] In addition to
dethroning The Fate of the Furious (2017), the trailer numbers surpassed previous records held by Star Wars:
The Force Awakens (2015), Fifty Shades Darker (2017), and Beauty and the Beast (2017).[242][243]

On May 7, 2017, a second teaser trailer, this one lasting 137 seconds, was shown at the MTV Movie & TV
Awards in Los Angeles, California,[244][245][246] with the new preview showcasing a snippet of the film where
the "Losers' Club" search for Pennywise's many victims.[247][248][249] Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone felt
snippet of the film "was initially ... similar to Stand by Me (1986), with the Losers' Club playfully bantering
about "gray water" ... A series of scary images soon follow before the trailer ends on Pennywise doing
unimaginable balloon tricks to lure a victim."[250] Matt Goldberg of Collider.com praised the trailer, and stated:
"This new trailer really plays up the kids' role and their fears. It's a smart move, because if a sequel does come
along, it's going to be looking at the kids as adults, so that aspect will be lost."[251] Digital Spy's Jack Tomlin
spoke of the clarity in that director Muschietti's film will carry on down the "creepy as hell" vibe he gave the
first trailer.[252] On July 13, 2017, Entertainment Weekly released a collection of new images and concept art
such as Pennywise's lair to promote It, including commentary from director Andrs
Muschietti.[253][254][255][256] On July 19, 2017, New Line Cinema showcased its promotion of It, by releasing
three reels of footage at San Diego Comic-Con,[257][258][259] before an advanced screening of Annabelle:
Creation (2017).[260]

Reception
Box office

As of September 10, 2017, It has grossed $123.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $66.3 million in
other territories, for a worldwide total of $189.7 million, against a production budget of $35 million.[4]

In North America, initial opening weekend projections had the film grossing $5060 million.[261] By the week
of its release, estimates were raised to $6070 million, with a chance to go higher if word of mouth was
strong.[262][3] It opened in 4,103 theaters, setting the record for most venues for an R-rated film (beating
Logan's 4,071 from the past March).[263] A few days before its release, the film became Fandango's top horror
pre-seller of all-time, eclipsing Paranormal Activity 3 (2011), as well as setting the record as the site's top pre-
seller among September releases, beating Sully (2016).[264] The film made $13.5 million from Thursday night
previews, setting the record for highest amount by both an R-rated (besting Deadpool's $12.6 million) and a
horror film.[265] Due to the high Thursday gross, Deadline.com noted some industry trackers upped weekend
projections to $90 million. It went on to have an opening day of $50.2 million (including previews), increasing
weekend projections to over $100 million. The film's Friday gross not only set a record for biggest single-day
amount by an R-rated film (beating Deadpool's $47.3 million) but nearly eclipsed Paranormal Activity 3's
entire weekend gross of $52.6 million, which was the highest opening weekend gross for a horror film.[266] It
went on to open to $123.1 million, setting the records for largest opening weekend for both a September release
and a horror film, and was the second-biggest debut for an R-rated film behind Deadpool ($132.4 million).
Variety and Deadline both noted that the film's opening weekend could have been even greater if not for
Hurricane Irma shutting down nearly 50% of Florida's theaters, a state that typically accounts for 5% of the
country's box office grosses.[267]

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 86% based on 203 reviews,
with an average rating of 7.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Well-acted and fiendishly frightening with
an emotionally affecting story at its core, It amplifies the horror in Stephen King's classic story without losing
touch with its heart."[268] Metacritic, another review aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of
70 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[269] Audiences polled by
CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[266]

Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 4 out of 4 stars, saying: "What will REALLY put a
chill down your spine and raise the hairs on the back of your neck are the moments when an adolescent
character is isolated from friends, all alone in the cellar or the bathroom or the alley or a dark office, and
something they've long feared springs to 'life' in a certain fashion, confirming their worst sense of dread and
doom."[270] Andrew Barker of Variety praised the visuals and cast, while acknowledging the familiarities,
calling the film "a collection of alternately terrifying, hallucinatory, and ludicrous nightmare imagery ... a series
of well-crafted yet decreasingly effective suspense setpieces; and a series of well-acted coming-of-age
sequences that don't quite fully mature."[271] Mark Kermode of The Guardian gave the film 4 out of 5 stars,
writing that the film "is an energetic romp with crowd-pleasing appeal that isnt afraid to bare its gory
teeth".[272] Christopher Orr of The Atlantic gave the film a mixed review, calling it "a solid but relatively
conventional horror movie" and writing that it "privileges CGI scares over dread and nuance".[273]

Some critics were disappointed with the film's implementation of jump scares.[274] Michael Phillips of the
Chicago Tribune noted the film's "diminishing returns of one jump scare after another", writing that "nearly
every scene begins and ends the same way, with a slow build ... leading up to a KAAA-WHUMMMMMM!!!!
sound effect".[275] Eric Kohn of IndieWire praised the film's visuals but wrote that it "simplifies its appeal with
jump scares",[276] and Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly lauded the child actors but wrote that "the
more we see of Pennywise, the less scary he becomes".[277]

Accolades
It received a 2017 Golden Trailer Awards nomination for Best Horror,[278][279] which it subsequently won.[280]

Sequel
On February 16, 2016, producer Roy Lee, in an interview with Collider.com, mentioned the final film of the
planned It duology, remarking that: "[Dauberman] wrote the most recent draft working with [Muschietti], so it's
being envisioned as two movies."[282] On July 19, 2017, Muschietti revealed that the plan is to get production
underway for the sequel to It next spring, adding,[283][284] "We'll probably have a script for the second part in
January [2018]. Ideally, we would start prep in March. Part one is only about the kids. Part two is about these
characters 30 years later as adults, with flashbacks to 1989 when they were kids."[285][286] On July 21, 2017,
Muschietti spoke of looking forward to having a dialogue in the second film that does not exist within the first,
stating, "... it seems like we're going to do it. It's the second half, it's not a sequel. It's the second half and it's
very connected to the first one."[287][288] Muschietti confirmed that two cut scenes from the film will hopefully
be included in the second, one of which being the fire at the Black Spot from the book.[289]

Notes
1. Writers Andy Muschietti, Cary Fukunaga and David Kajganich refer to Skarsgrd's character as
Pennywise, in various interviews most notably with Collider.com. Additionally the name Pennywise
the Dancing Clown is what Pennywise introduces himself as to George Denbrough; the term It isn't used
in either of these cases.
