It movie: Stephen King reveals what he REALLY thinks of new Pennywise adaptation

The horror, which focusses on the iconic Pennywise the Clown, has already picked up strong early buzz ahead of its release.

Now it seems the author of the original story has added to the acclaim.

In an audio clip posted to YouTube, he can be heard saying: “I had hopes, but I was not prepared for how good it really was.”

“It’s something that’s different, and at the same time, it’s something that audiences are gonna relate to.

“They’re gonna like the characters. It’s all about character. If you like the characters — if you care — the scares generally work.”

The Dark Tower, another of King’s creations, was lambasted when a new film with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey was unveiled earlier this year.

It, however, looks set to fare much better.

“I’m sure my fans will enjoy the movie,” he assured. “I think they’re gonna REALLY enjoy the movie.”
