When Georgie goes out to play with a toy boat built by his older brother, he soon encounters Pennywise in a sewer drain.
The book (and the forthcoming film) begins with a suburban teen, Bill (Jaeden Lieberher), and his younger brother, Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott), who are very close despite their age disparity.
Fortunately, the above sibling photography duo has a much happier story unfolding.
Georgie’s subsequent disappearance becomes the inciting incident of the narrative.
