OT: 'IT' trailer

That looks like it could be very good. Was not a fan of the first one, but love the book. I iike that past/present division as opposed to jumping back and forth (that works better in a book).
No Harry Anderson, no movie! 
I've seen the original mini-series on the last couple of years and while it was awkwardly creepy, it really wasn't that good outside of Tim Curry nailing it.
Perhaps a silver screen version will have more time spent on the little things that make for a good horror movie.

Speaking of which- it seems as though they are setting this up for a potential sequel. This movie focuses on the their childhood showdown with Pennywise. The adult version would follow. Can anyone confirm? Wikipedia was kinda vague.
I quit reading the book after 300 pages. I hated it.
Most Stephen Kings books had me hooked within the first couple of pages. This one never did. It was a struggle to read those 300 pages and I decided it just wasn't worth it.
This is a two part movie. The first part is all about the Losers Club.
The movie looks awesome. I wish we wouldn't have seen Pennywise in the trailer. I liked how off the bat they showed it wasn't going to be a shot for shot remake. Here's confirmation of this being a 2 part. I never heard about it from Blumhouse or any other horror news sources so I was surprised.

I think it is going to follow the book more closely than the made for TV movie. I'm assuming they'll probably keep out a certain scene at the end of the Losers Club part, however.
My understanding is it's two parts. Part one is the 50's childhood confrontation with It, and part two is the adult confrontation with It. For those not familiar with It, the book wandered back and forth between past and present, revealing a little bit of each at a time.
I can't argue with personal taste, but it's easily one of my favorites. Have read it (It) 7 times or so.
Based on the trailer, it appears they moved the childhood story ahead to the 80s; so I'd bet the adulthood sequel takes place in the present.
