Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm in full on IT mode right now. Decided to re-read the book after about a decade and it's a fascinating read. My first read-through was when I was about the age of the kids in the '50s section and now I'm about the age of the adults in the '80s section. I'll probably write a revisit piece when I finish it.
All the while a film version of that book is finally in the works. We had Tim Curry turn in a remarkable version of Pennywise in a not fully successful TV mini-series adaptation already and now we have Bill Skarsgard stepping into the white make-up for Andres Muschietti.
EW got the exclusive debut of the new Pennywise and he's appropriately creepy.
I definitely buy that guy as a child-killing spider-creature in clown form, so that's good.
What do you folks think?
