T
he full-length trailer for the remake of Stephen King’s It that left audiences screaming at South by South West was finally released on YouTube on Wednesday, and it’ll have you doing the same.
Scheduled for release in September, It tells the story of the Losers Club, a group of young boys in Maine who band together as people in their small town begin to vanish. They then meet Pennywise, the clown who has been capturing children like them.
As described by horror website Bloody Disgusting, the two-minute trailer opens with “with footage of Bill Denbrough making a paper boat for his little brother Georgie. We then move outside, where Georgie is chasing his boat in a rainstorm as it floats next to the curb. Suddenly, Georgie runs right into a street barrier, which knocks him down on the ground. He then watches as his boat sails into a gutter. He runs to the gutter and tries to see if he can see his boat. As he looks deep into the sewers, Pennywise abruptly appears before the screen cuts to black.”

But it doesn’t stop there. The trailer continues, introducing the audience to members of the Losers Club as the tension builds. Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise flashes on screen as the trailer ends. “What are you afraid of?” the trailer asks.
Stephen King has openly disliked certain adaptations of his books, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with this remake. He told The Independent that 2017’s It is a “wonderful production,” as well as posting on Twitter about how the film “succeeds beyond [his] expectations.” (sul/kes)
Andy Muschietti's remake of IT (actually it's Part 1--The Losers' Club) succeeds beyond my expectations. Relax. Wait. And enjoy.
