During filming, the kid actors were asked to pick a "wish" actor to play the adult version of their character. Sophia Lillis wished for Jessica Chastain and was the only one to have their wish come true.
The novel and the original film/miniseries from 1990 have both the kids and adults storyline happening at the same time, with scenes switching from one time period to the other. What these 2 films did different is having one part being about the kids and one being about the adults (and change the setting of the kids part from 1960s to 1980s).
"As George approached the canal's mouth to search for his lost boat, he saw two orange eyes staring at him from the subterranean darkness of the canal. George thought it must be some animal that had fallen into the canal and gotten stuck inside. George stood up to leave when a voice from the canal called out to him. George saw that there was a clown inside and his eyes were sky blue." "As George reached out to pick up the boat, the clown grabbed his arm and pulled him away. The boy twisted his face in pain and horror to see that in the darkness of the canal the clown's mouth was full of sharp teeth and his eyes were orange."😁 Tim Curry is a Mr. Butler in Clue and he is an Pennywise in first movie TV series adaptation from 1990 and for me he is my favorite Pennywise. The movie was so old and it didn't have those effects capabilities, but I can only imagine what Tim Curry would have done with the power of today's effects. Unfortunately, we'll never know. But I've been obsessed with IT since the 4th grade. Or maybe even earlier. I'm not sure. This new IT movie from 2017 i saw it in the movie theaters. Bill Skarsgård did a good job as Pennywise, but maybe his performance was overshadowed by the special effects. Or maybe I'm just too big a Curry fan. I don't know. But either way, In my opinion, neither film adaptation is particularly good compared to the book itself. The book is one of my favorites.🙃 The original movie wasn't bad. Especially the first part. But still I'm expecting a new adaptation of the book.😁
I love Richie's speech in the scene when the Losers Club goes into Pennywise's lair ro save Beverly. "I told you, Bill. I fucking told you. I don't wanna die. It's your fault. You punched me in the face, you made me walk through shitty water, you brought me into a fucking crackhead house, and now....(picks up a baseball bat) I'm gonna have to k*ll this fucking clown. (turns to Pennywise) WELCOME TO THE LOSERS CLUB, ASSHOLE!!!! (bludgeons Pennywise)
If you’ve seen Stranger Things, did you recognize Finn Wolfhard as Richie, he played Mike in Stranger Things, his character here is so funny. Also, when Beverly is in her bathroom all that stuff that comes out of the drain, represents all the hair she cut off.
Hello Daniel, nice to see you and your lovely wife Lucy!😊 I started to watch this and noticed it was an hour long, so I stopped to cook some garlic bread. You guys should watch Chapter 2 while these characters are still fresh in your mind. I think you guys will enjoy it more. I won't give anything away, but I liked the filming style of Chapter 2. It is not exactly what you think it is. I would agree this film isn't very scary, but it is very unsettling.😉 The casting of the children is very good here, especially Beverly as a strong character. The 80s theme is pretty accurate here. Kids did hang out like that and there were many abandoned houses back then, too. 80s stuff is really in right now, "Stranger Things" for example. Even physical media from the 80s is seeing a big boost in sales right now. Plus, with the worldwide feeling of CGI fatigue is making films with more practical effects in demand. As always I enjoyed Lucy's way of analyzing the film.🥇 Great reactions to Chapter 1, Daniel & Lucy!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like both versions of It. I like somethings in one and other things in the other one. I'm not really afraid of clowns, so I didn't find Pennywise as scary looking in the original compared to this one. Sure scary things happen in original, but look wise not as scary. I really liked what he did with the Pennywise clown character here. Lucy nailed it on his smile, there's interviews where he shows the smile he makes without the make up. It's a great horror smile. I think you prolly should watch Chapter 2 of this one before watching the original since it has the full story in the original. Same story of course but there are differences. Maybe more details here and there. Naturally these movies have better effects. The original did have more practical effects, but keep in mind, the original was actually a miniseries made for tv on one of the American big three networks. That channel also made miniseries for The Stand, Rose Red, and the Langoliers. So tv budgets are surely smaller than a modern movie, plus there won't be a huge amount of gore and stuff being made for tv back in the day. Today tv shows have a lot more gore like on The Walking Dead, but I dunno if you'd still see real gory stuff on the big three networks like that even today. I do like how Lucy might be coming around to horror movies, as well as other stuff she has watched. Horror is one of my favorite genres. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! ☺️ And yes, overall she has become more interested in different genres. Although she might go back to "hating mode" when I show her the Star Wars movies 😩😩😩
Oh, I forgot to mention. I believe you mentioned that the girl is a lawyer. So she is more rational. And I believe you mentioned that she has not been to many movies. I do not know if I am mistaken. But I see that she is becoming more and more intrigued by watching business movies. I may be mistaken. But I think I see a development in her character as a viewer. Which is great to see. Otherwise, about the very difference between "IT" 90 and "IT" from 2017. Psychological horror is not in the hysteria. It is just panic. Horror is in the slowness. "IT" new version (this version) has too much hysteria. The scene in the bathroom is my favorite scene, but in "IT" from 90. And in my opinion, that particular scene there is especially scary, because it is slow, there is no hysteria, there is no exaggeration with blood. In other words, it feels much more real and is something that if nightmares really existed in reality, maybe this scene would be exactly what happened in a very similar way in our reality. A slow way, a subdued way, but a saturated way. I would be happy if you could compare the old and new movie versions. In the movie it was never explained what really happened. In the movie there is no turtle and no divine power. Nor was IT itself explained what it is. But it would be great if you could compare the two versions.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid 😁 Yes. For me holidays time is the best time for scary and Christmas books and movies. So, have a happy holidays if you celebrate.😉
6 times the national homicide rate?! Holy crap, that's almost as bad as Detroit! (Seriously. Detroit is worse. 41/100,000 versus Derry's 6 * 6.3/100,000 = 37.8/100,000.)
Monday, November 25th.,2024.... the time is 5:40pm....so you sir were born in the year of 1989.... That would make you....35 year old!! How old is Lucy & what year was she born?? 🤔
How is Beverly an asshole?I’m a bit confused on that assessment 10min in, with no provocation.😮Also, in America, the bullies were just this bad if you were a gay kid ( me) or a nerd, especially in the 80’s.
"Ascerbic" is probably better (based on the bathroom dialogue), but not at the tip of the tongue for English as a second language folks. The bullies are supernaturally enhanced by Pennywise.
@ -I get it, I was hoping you didn’t really think that of her, she kinda has to be that way to get through.I sure hope you react to the sequel or part 2, it has an amazing cast and is so good.
During filming, the kid actors were asked to pick a "wish" actor to play the adult version of their character. Sophia Lillis wished for Jessica Chastain and was the only one to have their wish come true.
Oh, Jessica Chastain is in the second movie? Had no idea! I like her
If she hasn't seen it yet, I recommend showing Lucy "Sinister" and a nice movie about happy fuzzy bunnies called "Watership Down"
Yes, one of my favorite books. Hoppy little rabbits with their own cute little language.
Sinister is great 👌🏻 watership down I've never heard of tbh
@@ptthatswhatshesaid keep it that way it will literally scar you for the rest of your life

Quite epic yeah 😜
I 100% prefer this over the original,I love the cast new design of Pennywise and just more modern special & practical affects.
I preferred the original not as creepy 😂
Lucy: "I'm not going to be able to talk much"
Also Lucy........😀
Always 😂

She has never seen Stranger Things só she could have not recognized him. I did though 😋 very different role than Mike xD

It was a lot of fun for sure! And yeah, the 80's estethic is very popular at the moment
Nice contrast from the Lion King reaction 😂
Yeah well, not quite the same 😜
Classic Monty Python Flying Circus saying. It's !

This holiday season is mostly time for 2 things here in Portugal: food and family! 😂
Gotta love Stephen King! Was that an anti-Clown defense blanket? 🙂
That blanket shields her of a multitude of threats, not just clowns 😂

Theater kids got it pretty bad from the bullies, but I guess they're a kind of nerd (fair gay representation, too, least in the '80s).
Yeah, we don't mean she is an actual asshole xD we would agree that ascerbic seems like a much more correct expression 😅
@ -Cool!! Lol
The 1990 version was better. Beverly was really nice. I can understand why those boys were hung up on her. At their age, I would have been as well.
In the book the boys all run a train on her in the sewer. Obviously they don't show that in the movies.
I read the book long before I saw the movie.
OK, Daniel ( Lucy )You've watched the remake, now watch the original. It's much better than this one.
should have watched the original,.. a much better movie,..
😂
