It (2017)	comment	It (a.k.a. It: Chapter One) is a 2017 supernatural horror film directed by AndrÃ©s Muschietti and written by Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga and Gary Dauberman, and the first of a two-part adaptation of Stephen King's classic 1986 horror novel of the same name. The film tells the story of seven children as they are terrorized by the eponymous being, which exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. The film depicts roughly half the book, focusing on most of the childhood events of the main characters.The film stars Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd as IT/Pennywise The Dancing Clown, Jaeden Martell as William "Bill" Denbrough, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Uris, Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak, and Nicholas Hamilton as Henry Bowers.Set in 1989 in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, the story begins when a young boy named George "Georgie" Denbrough disappears after the sudden arrival of a mysterious clown named Pennywise. Georgie's older brother, Bill, is left distraught by his disappearance, and after an encounter with Pennywise, looks for the help of six other outcasts who have had similar encounters with the clown and its other forms. The seven work together to examine the behavior of this shapeshifting creature — which they dub "IT" — and see if they can rescue Bill's missing brother at the same time.The movie is an adaptation of the parts of the novel that are about the Losers as children and was released on September 8, 2017. A sequel, It: Chapter Two, based on the parts of the novel about the Losers in adulthood (with flashbacks to their childhood), was released on September 6, 2019. A prequel series for HBO Max was announced in March 2022, under the title Welcome to Derry.Previews: Trailer 1 (preview), Trailer 2. Trailer 3

She's bullied by the girls in school for being attractive and they spread rumors of her being promiscuous. She's also aware that several adults and her own father seem attracted to her, which accumulates in her father trying to rape her and Beverly having to escape him by beating him unconscious with a toilet lid.

The same goes for Henry Bowers and his gang. After the Rock War, Henry's gang abandons him on the spot and Henry's left stunned and on the verge of tears. Which is probably why he kills the both of them in a deleted scene.

It (2017) / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The MTV preview made it look like the Losers were about to encounter Pennywise in the sewer, after the red balloon. In the movie, Patrick was the one who encountered the balloon, and ended up being killed by Pennywise. Georgie's face melting and the accompanying vocal distortion during the "You'll Float Too" scene was also absent from the trailers. The "kill them all" scene in the TV spot made it look like Pennywise was taunting the kids through a television. In the movie, he's actually manipulating Henry into both murdering his father, and afterwards, the Losers. Some TV spots showed the kids going swimming and had a sudden cut to Pennywise watching from the bushes. That shot is actually from much later when Mike is getting pummeled by the bullies.

He also had moments where he was legitimately kind and loving towards Bev and when he did try to sexually assault her, its clear IT was possessing him. In the miniseries, he is more overprotective with no indications of incest. In the film, his sexual feelings for Bev are much more overt, and the situation is made scarier because her mother is dead in this version, leaving her completely alone with him.

No one but Ben notes the alarmingly high death rate in the town, which is readily available information for anyone who cares to look.

It (2017) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Georgie's death is fairly close to the original novel, but after Pennywise bites off his arm, he remains alive and crawls on the ground, yelling for Bill. Pennywise then stretches out his arm and drags him in the sewers, instead of leaving him for dead on the road. Betty Ripsom finally makes an appearance, having only been mentioned in the source material. Hooray for her! It's as a severed torso hanging in one of the rooms of the Neibolt house. Beverly's first encounter with IT is lifted straight from the book, with voices coming from her sink drain before blood bursts out and covers the bathroom. The film adds to it, however, with Bev having cut her hair to look less desirable and that hair coming back out of the drain to restrain her to the sink and force her to be covered in the blood. The scene also gains a menstrual/puberty subtext, with Beverly's discomfort about buying tampons preceding the encounter.

It (2017) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
It (2017) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Bill has a LEGO turtle, potentially alluding to the Turtle entity present in the novel existing in this universe. They also find a turtle while swimming in the quarry, but this is just an ordinary one. Likewise, the walkie-talkies Bill and Georgie use early on in the film have the words "TURTL" on them, and there is a turtle among Georgie's stuffed animals. Pennywise's costume from the 1990 miniseries can be seen◊ briefly when Richie enters a room of clown statues. In the same room, prior to chasing after him, Pennywise says "Beep beep, Richie." After being impaled in the eye, Pennywise transforms in a manner not unlike the werewolf form It assumed in the book's confrontation at Niebolt Street, complete with a canine-like muzzle and claws that tear through Its gloves. Beverly is rendered (temporarily) catatonic by the "Deadlights"; the same thing happens to Audra, Bill's wife, in the novel. During the final battle, IT transforms several times, mostly pulling out the forms it previously used to torment the Losers. When IT briefly attacks Ben, however, IT pulls out a mummy transformation out of nowhere, which doesn't reflect ITs previous encounter with Ben as the Headless Boy. However, the mummy was the form IT assumed in its first encounter with Ben in the novel, so it serves as a reference to that. Also during the final fight, in a blink and you'll miss it moment, it attacks one of the Losers with what looks like arachnids legs. When IT kills Patrick Hockstetter, a balloon with the words "Éª â™¥ á´…á´‡Ê€Ê€Ê�" written on it appears in front of him right before Pennywise attacks. In the book, this is the same phrase that Adrian Mellon had on his hat right before he was (will be?) killed, and IT makes Adrian's boyfriend, Don, hallucinate thousands of those same balloons under the Kissing Bridge. Pennywise using it on Hockstetter specifically may also double as a reference to Hockstetter's Armored Closet Gay subplot, which was cut from this film. During the town's celebration in the park, a Paul Bunyan statue is seen. Fans of the novel know that IT uses it for Richie's first encounter, a scene which is eventually delivered in IT: Chapter Two. The Standpipe water tower is also seen in an establishing shot. One of the Losers wears a Tracker Brothers Trucking t-shirt. In the book, the abandoned makeshift ballfield next to their depot plays a minor plotpoint.

Premiere screenings drew a lot of laughs, however, when about two thirds of the way through the movie, one of the other kids bluntly calls Beverly "Molly Ringwald", to sarcastically point out the resemblance in-universe (see "Celebrity Resemblance").

In the book, he is not Jewish, but the film is less clear.

Mike's role as an adult of Haunted House Historian is also reassigned to Ben here, who had an interest in architecture and building in the book while Mike was the one interested in Derry's history, and Stan being the first to deter IT with the power of belief is reassigned to Bill. Coincidentally or not, in the adult segment of the book, Mike and Stan are the only Losers missing from the final confrontation with IT.

Finally, both the Ritual of ChÃ¼d and (aside from easter eggs) the Turtle. The Ritual of ChÃ¼d would ultimately be reincorporated into the second half, although this time, itâ€™s completely useless.

His initial contact with all of the kids is intended to terrify them to "fatten them up" for his eventual feast. When he finally meets Bill face to face, he acts offended Bill thinks he isn't real — before coolly adding he was "real enough for Georgie!" Convincing Henry Bowers to murder his father and go after the Losers was a real dick move, but shows that Pennywise actually is starting to show fear, and takes the Losers seriously as an opposing force, as opposed to just more prey. Even when getting overpowered and beaten by the Losers, Ol' Pennywise still somehow finds the gumption to turn into Beverly's sexually abusive father and taunt her.

He killed the chickens of Mike's father and was a racist, anti-semitic sexist. He also rewards his son for killing Mike's dog. He regularly chased kids and beat his son. Here he is a police officer and shows none of his insane or racist behavior. He stops his son from bullying the Losers and from shooting a cat. He comes across as a no-nonsense, Good Is Not Nice kind of guy who does what he thinks is right to set his delinquent son straight with Tough Love, as opposed to being the novel's sociopath. Butch's way of punishing his son is by shooting the gun near him and a deleted scene makes it clear he physically abuses him as well so it's played with.

It ends up being sort of a bait-and-switch subversion: Pennywise captures her, but since she's just conquered her own worst fear (her father), he is unable to frighten her, and thus unable to feed off of her (and is therefore unwilling to kill her immediately). Also, showing her the Deadlights renders her catatonic but doesn't actually physically harm her. That all being said, we still don't know exactly what Bev went through while she was trapped in the Deadlights. Also due to the potential threat she posed, it's likely Pennywise would have eventually killed her anyway, even if he couldn't use her for food.

It (2017) / int_5a40d6a	comment	Adaptation Distillation: Many of the Losers' initial encounters with IT in the book are changed or cut entirely, with only Eddie and Beverly's encounters remaining intact. Whether or not Richie's encounter still happened is a bit ambiguous; he says he's the only one who hasn't, but that's also what he says in the book, where it is finally revealed more than halfway through that he did have his own experience. A good example is the projector scene, which is a composite of two different encounters with IT from the book (Bill seeing a picture of Georgie winking at him; and Pennywise jumping out of a book of Derry history) but modified to make the sequence more engaging on film. Richie's sense of humor is modified, where he now makes a lot more risquÃ© jokes and becomes Sir Swears-a-Lot. In the novel, he is more of an off-the-walls goofball who does (very bad) Voices, including some ethnic caricatures that were pushing Values Dissonance even in the '80s. This may be done to downplay Richie's obnoxiousness and make him more funny and appealing to the audience, but has the effect now leaving his only claim to Loser-hood being his Nerd Glasses and probably also the fact that he clearly thinks that he's much funnier than he actually is. In the novel, Bill and Richie plan out their trip to the Neibolt house beforehand, bringing Bill's dad's gun, Bill's slingshot, and as a gag from their conversation, Richie brings his sneezing powder — the last of which is actually the most effective due to Richie's power of belief and allows them to escape the pursuing monster on bike. With all of them now thoroughly convinced of IT's existence, the Losers then take the time to try to find out more information about IT, staging a smokehole to get visions of IT's arrival on Earth, melting down silver dollars into silver slugs, and all of them practicing with Bill's slingshot to figure out who's the best shot (it's Beverly) in preparation to shoot IT with silver, before they take IT on. They also determine that the adults of Derry (and it's implied, outside Derry, with nobody picking up on the on-and-off murders in Derry) are under IT's control and will not help them, adding an extra frightening factor to their situation.

At one point, the novel uses a form of The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You where IT hijacks the narration and talks about IT's age and killing prowess.

In fact, whenever a television is on in the background, the subject is always clowns, floating or sewers. When Ben is first shown researching Derry's dark history, a woman in the background stops browsing through books and turns to face him, adopting Pennywise's mannerisms.

It (2017) / int_5beef860	comment	Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: IT invokes this as its primary method of attack, assuming the shape of whatever its victims are most scared of. Ironically, given his own jokester personality, Richie Tozier's fear is revealed to be clowns, changed from Eye Scream in the original novel. Too bad for him that Pennywise is all too happy to take advantage of this. However, It: Chapter Two implies that Richie lied about being afraid of clowns because his real greatest fear is being outed as gay.

It (2017) / int_603f1a80	type	Pragmatic Adaptation
It (2017) / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: The movie simply focuses on the Losers' Club's childhood battle against Pennywise, rather than compress the enormous book into a single movie. The time frame for the first half has been adjusted to the 1980s in order to set the second half in the "present day" aka the 2010s, rather than making the whole story a period piece. The fears of the kids are updated to be more personal for each character and don't take the form of movie monsters, likely to keep them just as scary to the audience and not pull them out of the story. Instead of a mummy, Ben is attacked by the headless corpse of a victim from a disaster he'd read about. While IT attacks Beverly the same way (a fountain of blood from the sink), it's much more character appropriate due to the addition of a subplot where her father is incestuously attracted to her, and Beverly facing the fact that she has begun to menstruate. Mike's encounter is changed from a flesh-eating bird to a manifestation of the fire that killed his parents, a backstory invented for the film. The scene of Pennywise suddenly appearing out of a book covering Derry's history has been replaced with a similar scene of Pennywise appearing in a slideshow covering the same subject matter. The movie's narrative changes things up a bit by revolving around Bill trying to find the missing Georgie, as opposed to Bill knowing full well that he's already been murdered from the start, even though the rest of the Losers (along with Bill's family and the town) have no doubt that Georgie is dead. This is for the sake of making the movie something of an R-rated Genre Throwback to the Steven Spielberg movies that were made around the time as opposed to making the movie a standard supernatural horror-themed murder mystery. In the book, rock music was considered controversial among the adults of Derry in the 1950s, but the kids loved it. In this version, set in the 1980s, rock is largely tolerated, but heavy metal is a source of moral panic — and these versions of the Losers seem to take a liking to this as well. The sewer orgy that was present in the book does not happen here. While the scene was meant to symbolize the Losers losing their childhood innocence and becoming adults and served as a way for them to retain morale after defeating IT, the director stated that he didn't think it was necessary to the movie's narrative, not to mention that there was no way he could actually get away with filming such a scene. It's replaced by a group hug and the blood-bonding ritual from the book instead. Viewers reacted positively to this; as much as people like the book, many didn't like the child-group sex bit and found it pointless and tasteless. The kiss that Ben plants on an unconscious Bev, and the Big Damn Kiss between Bill and Bev at the end serve the same narrative purpose but are much more innocent and age-appropriate. The actual entities, the Spider and the Turtle, are absent as direct players, but they are indirectly alluded to. Bill carries a Lego turtle as a kind of charm. Pennywise's face-covering More Teeth than the Osmond Family jaws resemble a spider's maw as much as anything in our universe, and at one point he attacks the Losers with something greatly resembling giant arachnid legs.

Stan gets saved by his friends but is traumatized and if he does kill himself in the sequel as he does in the book, it's likely the trauma of being "abandoned" and having his face gnawed on by his worst nightmare contributed.

With all of them now thoroughly convinced of IT's existence, the Losers then take the time to try to find out more information about IT, staging a smokehole to get visions of IT's arrival on Earth, melting down silver dollars into silver slugs, and all of them practicing with Bill's slingshot to figure out who's the best shot (it's Beverly) in preparation to shoot IT with silver, before they take IT on. They also determine that the adults of Derry (and it's implied, outside Derry, with nobody picking up on the on-and-off murders in Derry) are under IT's control and will not help them, adding an extra frightening factor to their situation. Their movie counterparts do not prepare as much or get as much information on IT, presumably because it'd take up too much time in the movie. Becomes an Idiot Ball in the case of the first trip to the Neibolt house, where they even rush in entirely unarmed against IT, and upon the climatic trip into the well, don't take precautions against getting split up despite knowing they need to stick together and in doing so lose the only advantage they know they have against IT, which almost gets Stan and Bill killed and results in them losing most of the shots in the only weapon they brought.

In the book, Eddie saw the Leper after encountering a sickly hobo on Neibolt Street, with IT creating the Leper form as an exaggeration of that encounter. While the film omits the real hobo that IT based the form on, the Leper still ties into Eddie's hypochondria and germophobia, so it is still resonant.

However, he somewhat averts this trope when speaking to Georgie (and, presumably, other small children), changing his demonic amber eyes to a soft blue and enlarging his pupils, causing him to appear more goofy and fugly than outright creepy, though this trick still doesn't stop him from looking quite uncanny.

However, in the book Henry showed no form of kindness whatsoever to the Losers. Here, he gives Bill a free pass from his bullying because of Georgie going missing. Also some of his more murderous acts in the book like killing Mike's dog Mr. Chips or trying to murder Mike with firecrackers are toned down to trying but failing to shoot a cat and simply trying to hit Mike in the face with one rock. Here, Henry also only goes murderous when IT starts manipulating him whereas in the book he was already murderous before IT manipulated him as he nearly drowned Bill in a dunk tank, whitewashed Stan's face with bleach until it bleeds, and broke Richie's glasses. All of those acts were removed here. Also in the book he anti-Semitic, sexist and tried to rape Beverly outright and called Mike the n-word. Here he has no interactions with Stan, merely taunts Beverly about her rumors and never calls Mike any racial slur.

Ironically, his appearance is very on par with how a lot of clowns really did dress back in the 50s and 60s. Comparing him to the clowns he was said to look like in the book and you will find this Pennywise bears a little more resemblance than the Tim Curry outfit. However, it still works in the "boomerang" sense as it makes Pennywise look like it's been doing this successfully for a very long time.

It's replaced by a group hug and the blood-bonding ritual from the book instead. Viewers reacted positively to this; as much as people like the book, many didn't like the child-group sex bit and found it pointless and tasteless. The kiss that Ben plants on an unconscious Bev, and the Big Damn Kiss between Bill and Bev at the end serve the same narrative purpose but are much more innocent and age-appropriate.

Her role in the film is also expanded into being Mr. Keene the pharmacist's daughter. His Mr. Exposition role in telling Eddie his medication is a placebo goes to Greta. Also counts as Spared By Adaptation, since Eddie sees her walking corpse when he goes to the Tracker Brothers' abandoned lot. In the book, she died in a car crash at the age of 18 but is alive and well in It: Chapter Two.

It (2017) / int_a91078ea	comment	Adaptational Jerkass: The librarian in the book was a sweet lady who Ben admired and liked, and who liked him in turn and was impressed by his maturity. In the film, she questions Ben's presence in the library by saying he ought to be with friends, which makes him feel uncomfortable because he has none. Mr. Keene the pharmacist isn't the kindest man in the book, but ultimately has the principles to tell Eddie he's been taking placebo medication meant to placate his mother. In the film, his daughter instead unkindly reveals the information to Eddie, which suggests that Mr. Keene is unbothered by Eddie's situation in this version, and he also has some creepy interactions with the underaged Beverly, buying into the flirty behavior she puts on to distract him from the shoplifting Losers. In the book Victor Criss nearly joins the Losers and tried to stop Henry from cutting Ben. In the film we never see Victor consider leaving Henry and he is seen smiling when Henry is cutting Ben with Belch being the horrified one instead in that scene.

It (2017) / int_a939d96a	comment	Adults Are Useless: In dealing with the plague on their town, and in general. IT is shown, both explicitly and implicitly, to dull the adults' awareness of the violence happening under their noses; a couple is shown slowing down and looking, but ultimately driving past, as Henry's gang attacks Ben, as a single red balloon floats in their backseat. Later it's shown that new missing child posters are pasted over the old ones, as if to pretend there isn't a spree going on. Even the parents who aren't outright abusive (such as Mr. Marsh or Mrs. Kaspbrak) still falter constantly and are shown to misjudge their children when trying to help them. Mr. Hanlon, having suffered the loss of Mike's parents, tries to toughen his grandson up and show him how to be decisive to help avoid making him an easy target for the town's racism, but acts on it by making him slaughter a sheep with a cattle gun. Stan's father harshly berates him when he flubs while practicing Hebrew for his Bar Mitzvah, and selfishly frames the whole thing to be about how Stan failing such a huge ceremony will shame him (if the son of the town's only rabbi can't lead services, they'll lose favor with the community and God). The town librarian is possibly the only adult in town that doesn't behave in a hostile way towards children, but she fits this trope too; upon seeing Ben reading in summer, she tells him to go outside instead and make friends. Although it's well meaning, she indirectly rubs it in that the poor kid doesn't have any friends. Bill's parents in spades: The loss of Georgie has his mother literally be non-existent and his father coldly and angrily tell him Georgie's dead after Bill tries to explain his "theory" that Georgie was in the Barrens and still being in denial of his death. Henry Bowers gets his bullying ways from his father, who is violently abusive toward him; after Henry tries to shoot a cat simply For the Evulz, his father fires shots near his feet to provoke a scared reaction in front of Henry's friends and humiliate him. A deleted scene makes it clear he beats him at home as well. Pennywise gives Henry his missing knife to convince him to kill his father. The woman who notices Georgie looking into the storm drain at the start. She sees blood spreading across the street seconds later, no sign of Georgie... and does nothing.

In a deleted scene, Henry is caring for some nasty cuts and bruises, implied to be inflicted by his father, also making the elder Bowers physically abusive.

The original script actually deviated from the source material in various ways, as detailed in the Trivia section.

The Derry movie theater shows that Batman (1989) and Lethal Weapon 2 were double billings during the months of June and July of 1989, with the former having a Monster Clown played by an actor who starred in another Stephen King adaptation as the central villain. Then in the month of August of 1989, it shows the James Bond film Licence to Kill which features actors Anthony Zerbe and Everett McGill both appearing in this film as henchmen, while also had appeared in film adaptations of Stephen King's books (Zerbe appeared in The Dead Zone, which featured music by Michael Kamen who scored this Bond flick and Lethal Weapon 2 and starred Christopher Walken who played Bond villain Max Zorin in A View to a Kill, while McGill appeared in Silver Bullet). There is also a panning shot of A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child being played at the movie theater as well. The film series came out around the same time as It and both focus on supernatural monsters that prey on the young, feed on fear as a source of power, and can create nightmarish visions and realities. Most notably about The Dream Child is that one of the main people to square off against Freddy was a kid, much like Pennywise and the Losers. Judith — the malformed flute-holding woman from the painting that Pennywise uses to torment and attack Stan — strongly resembles Edith Brennan, the titular monster from the 2013 Spanish horror film Mama (Muschietti's previous film). Both were inspired by the paintings of Amedeo Modigliani, which made a lasting scary impression on Muschietti. In one scene, Eddie sports a shirt with a demonic convertible on it, a reference to Christine, one of Stephen King's other evil creations. Out-of-universe, but the Kissing Bridge, with its iconic barn-like roof, is "played" by the same bridge that features in another cinematic Cosmic Horror Story: John Carpenter's 1995 In the Mouth of Madness; there, it's the portal to the Eldritch Location of Hobb's Endâ€”a Lovecraft Country town not unlike Derry itself. Henry Bowers' blue Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am has the make and model as Charles Brady's blue Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am from Sleepwalkers, another Stephen King film from the early 1990s. At the end, the kids fade away one by one after their blood oath, like Chris does at the end of Stand by Me. Beverly being compared to Lois Lane at the pharmacy by Mr. Keene could be a reference to actress Annette O'Toole, who played Beverly Marsh in the miniseries as well as Lana Lang in Superman III and Martha Kent in Smallville. Also, not technically a shout-out, but Beverlyâ€™s new child actress Sophia Lillis played the younger version of Amy Adamsâ€™ character Camille in Sharp Objects, who also played Lois Lane in Man of Steel. The fact that Sophia bears a striking resemblance to Amy Adams really helps.

This is for the sake of making the movie something of an R-rated Genre Throwback to the Steven Spielberg movies that were made around the time as opposed to making the movie a standard supernatural horror-themed murder mystery.

He then pops halfway out of the screen as a giant clown-monster and tries to attack them, but they drive him off by opening the garage shutter.
