IT movie director reveals how Pennywise the Clown’s Part 2 will be like Stranger Things

Since the record-breaking first trailer for the IT movie aired earlier this year, movie fans have been pointing out how the new horror has that Stranger Things feel to it.

After all, it follows a group of kids – one of whom stars in the hit Netflix show – in 1980s America, as supernatural events keep taking place.

Of course, Stranger Things was partly inspired by Stephen King’s work, so it’s not that surprising.

Nevertheless fans of Stranger Things will be pleased to know that the IT movie director’s plans for the Part 2, are sounding even more similar to the TV show.

Speaking with Yahoo!, Muschetti said: “I really wanted to focus on the emotional journey of the group of kids.

“Getting in to that other dimension — the other side — was something that we could introduce in the second part. 

“In the book the perspective of the writing… is always with the Losers, so everything they know about Pennywise is very speculative and shrouded in absurdity, so I wanted to respect that mystery feeling of not knowing what’s on the other side. 

“I also wanted to leave something for the second half, so I didn’t want to get in trouble with that — going into the macroverse or that transdimensional stuff — and keep it grounded, from the point of view of the kids.”

The other side sounds pretty similar to Stranger Things’ upside down, so fans of both look set to enjoy some more dimension-crossing weirdness.

IT will be released on September 8, 2017.
