But there are those who still share a fondness for the original IT miniseries, which starred Tim Curry as Pennywise the clown.
Even Andres Muschietti decided to throw a Tim Curry version of Pennywise in the last IT trailer as a nice little Easter egg for fans.
In a recent interview with Screen Geek, Tim Curry talked a little bit about his experience making the 1990 TV miniseries version of IT, as well as sharing some thoughts on the upcoming movie.
Fortunately, director Andres Muschietti has already confirmed that the giant spider won’t be making an appearance in the new IT movie.
