Fun Facts: 27 is defiantly the films’ number. This film was released 27 years after the original 1990 television mini-series. In the book, it is mentioned that “It” returns to Derry approximately every 27 years. Jonathan Brandis, who played young Bill in the original film, died at 27 years old. This movie was released one month after Bill Skarsgård 27th birthday. The official US release date is 9/8/2017. 9+8+2+0+1+7 = 27.

 

The kids are kept separated from Skarsgård so that way when they film the projector scene, their terror will be so realistic.

 

Due to the town being called “Derry”, a name similar to the city in Co. Londonderry, Northern Ireland, the country had its own premiere of the film there. Before the movie began, there was special video from the child actors greeting the Derry audience.

 

The Losers’ Club 1980’s shirts pay homage to various Stephen King properties including The Shining, Carrie, Christine and Pet Semetary

 

Summary: When a shape shifting demon terrorizes children of Derry, Maine, a group of misfits bands together to stop this monster.

 

The review: People may be laughing at Tim Curry’s performance in the 1990’s miniseries, but they certainly won’t be laughing at Bill Skarsgård’s terrifying performance. The ‘Losers Club’ are the next ‘Stranger Things.’ This film has good humor, all star cast and is, of course, terrifying. Sorry Curry, but you can’t out scare Skarsgård’s terrorness.
