Don’t Expect ‘It’ to Be a Short Film

According to BBFC the new It will run approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, which in all actuality isn’t a bad thing. The full 1990 miniseries ran just 53 minutes shorter, and that covered both parts of the film. In other words, we should get plenty of quality character development from this flick.

I’m not big on long films, but this is no doubt one to make an exception for.

For those who missed the news, It has been given an R rating for “violence/horror, bloody images, and for language.”

Andrés Muschietti directs.

Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Nicholas Hamilton, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jeremy Ray Taylor, and Sophia Lillis star with Bill Skarsgard, who portrays Pennywise. In addition, creature performer Javier Botet has signed on as The Leper, and Owen Teague plays Patrick Hocksetter, part of a group of bullies who torment The Losers’ Club.

Look for It in theaters on September 8th.

Synopsis:

In the Town of Derry, the local kids are disappearing one by one, leaving behind bloody remains. In a place known as ‘The Barrens’, a group of seven kids are united by their horrifying and strange encounters with an evil clown and their determination to kill It.
