My initial thoughts on the first teaser for IT were a little mixed. Now that some time has passed, its grown on me and I'm legitimately confident that this is going to be a good film (probably better than the original made-for-television flick starring Tim Curry). With this new trailer, I'm still thinking that.
One of the things I've picked up on in the leadup to this flick is so how choosing to divide Stephen King's lengthy source material into two movies. Part of this could have been out of necessity and a desire for double the potential profits; yet, I think its because it work better as two movies. Plus, if this is good but doesn't do well enough to justify a sequel, there will still be a film that focuses on the more interesting/meaty aspect of the story.
Let's get to the nitty-gritty and talk about what's the iconic aspect of this story: Pennywise. From the skin-crawling voice to that ghoulish laugh, Bill Skarsgård seems to have brought a real physical presence to the role that I can't help but find extremely unsettling. Aside from the clown himself, there's plenty of great creepy imagery (especially with whats inside that spooky looking house). Plus, it looks like they did a solid job of casting the Loser's Club.
Overall, this is a great trailer that will hopefully lead to a great movie. Maybe, it'll float 🎈
