IT (2017) Pitch Meeting Revisited

As the Halloween season continues, the latest episode of Screen Rant‘s own Pitch Meeting series is looking back on its analysis of IT. The 2017 movie marked the second major adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic 1986 novel revolving around a group of misfit teens and their later adult years as they find themselves haunted by the eponymous shapeshifting entity typically taking on the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Helmed by Andy Muschietti and starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise, the first movie was a critical and commercial success, leading to It: Chapter Two, which garnered more mixed reviews and a lower box office haul.
