Wait, where? I didn't know this was far enough underway for there to be much of any news about it. I really hope it's not gonna be another Pennywise-fest, the fucking clown was one of the least interesting horror elements in the book to me.

"There will be no spider at the end of our movie. We’re definitely honoring the spirit of Stephen King, but the horror has to be modernized to make it relevant. That’s my job, right now, on this pass. I’m working on making the horror more about suspense than visualization of any creatures. I just don’t think that’s scary. What could be there, and the sounds and how it interacts with things, is scarier than actual monsters."

Thanks, that was fast.
I'm a little perplexed by what isn't "modern" about a bigass spider (IMO, some of the best horror movies have always relied more on suspense). But I want to agree, I'm not sure monsters can be as scary as the suggestion of them being there, which means this time around they might be a lot more aware of the psychological aspect of It's villainy than the style of the first adaptation.

dafuq? Since when is Stephen King not relevant or modern?! He's still writing, isn't he?

There's just... so many things wrong with that statement. So many.

I think that's a good idea, honestly. I am a lifelong King fan, I think he's a startlingly talented writer, and I continue to love his work, but he also dates really hard. The fact is, the thing that makes his writing so compelling, i.e. a pure rush of story straight from the subconscious, also means that his writing is often a neat map of the anxieties of a white male baby boomer his exact age.

In the late 80s, boomers were fixated on their imagined idyllic childhoods in the imagined idyllic 1950s, and were also terrified that they'd squandered their window of generational relevance, and were now to pass into middle age without doing anything interesting. So King, without consciously meaning to, wrote a story in which an idyllic 1950s small town is threatened by evil, and it's saved a bunch of idealized boomer kids who each has a special secret superpower about how special they are, and then they come back as adults and everyone tells them they're too old to fight evil now, but they prove that they're still relevant and cool.

Not saying it's a bad book; I still like it a lot. But it is what it is, and that has dated pretty badly by now.

And yes, the special secret superpower of The Black Guy is that he's black, and the special secret superpower of The Girl is that you can have sex with her. That... yeah, that happened.

that's interesting, thanks for the insight anon!
