1stly Salem's lot' the remake was fucking awful. them updating it to whatever the hell year that came out in wasn't what hurt the film. what hurt it was a terrible script. as for the elm street remake i was honestly fucking bored while watching it. it was an ok film but bored? that wasn't something i expected. as for this remake i hope it is gorier and follows the book more.
and they don't fucking make a PG1-13 film to get the youngsters in there. i honestly am not expecting much from the IT remake but i am keeping an open mind. i'd still love to see the original cut of the (1990) film that was longer than what we got. than it was i believe cut cause they simply could not show that stuff on tv well compared to today that is. as for the dude who is apparently playing pennywise. i've just seen him in Narnia and he wasn't that bad in that film.
i don't see him as playing pennywise at all. but i'm keeping an open mind or trying to at least.
