It
The repulsion film of 2017 is here . ITmight just be one of the scariest film in year , telling the narrative of seven teenager sound up against an evil entity that ’s subvert their Maine townspeople ( whose favourite form just happens to be that of a demented clown ) . And it ’s going to be a heavy hit ; reviews are incredibly positive and it ’s expected to have thebiggest September opening ever .
But what exactly isIT?There ’s the rootage novel , but also a previous adaptation and , of course , sequel talkout there , so let us to cut through the confusion and explain what exactly we ’re contend with .
IT Is Based on The First Half of Stephen King’s Novel
ITis , of class , establish on a Stephen King novel . write in 1986 , it ’s one of the esteemed horror author ’s longest and deep books ( it ’s over 1000 pages long ) , travel along the legal action of Pennywise across two time period of time - when The Losers are children in the 1950s and as adults in the 1980s . The account book cuts back and onward between these two era easy letting the story unfold .
The pic is taking on half the business , detail just the puerility side ( updated to now be place in the 1980s ) . AChapter 2that will follow the small fry all grown up ( andbring in the Good Book ’s alternate dimension ) is planned , with director Andy Muschietti saying he ’ll start work on that next ( think a 2019 release is likely ) .
IT Is Not A Remake of 1990 TV Miniseries
Now permit ’s straighten out up some confusedness . This is n’t the first timeIThas been adapted ; in 1990 , ABC aired a two - part miniseries asterisk Tim Curry that brought the book to life over a three hour runtime . Mostly praise for that central performance , over the years it ’s make cult status ( although we do n’t think it holds up ) . The video motion-picture show ’s notoriety has led to some describing the new movie as a " remaking " .
However , while there ’s a like structure - the miniseries also divided up the children and adult sections into separate episode , ditching the book ’s cutting back and off - the raw film is n’t really a remake at all . The film producer have made clear they ’ve conk right back to the beginning ( Muschietti has even admitted he ’s not a sports fan of the miniseries ) for the 2017 interpretation . In fact , the only reference to the 1990 pic isa Tim Curry easter egg in one scene .
