With the first trailer expected to be unveiled this week, the new IT movie, based on Stephen King's epic novel of the same name, is teased in three official images featuring Pennywise the clown and the group of kids known as The Losers' Club who must band together to stop IT.
You can check out the new IT images below, courtesy of USA Today, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for the upcoming reveal of the new trailer.
IT is expected to be part of a two-movie adaptation, with the first film following The Losers’ Club as kids facing evil incarnate in the small town of Derry in the 1980s, with the second movie expected to focus on The Losers’ Club as adults once again tasked with defeating the malevolent entity that haunts their hometown… and their souls.
IT features Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) as Richie Tozier, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Uris, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak, Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon, and Bill Skarsgård as the ancient evil known as IT, aka Pennywise.
Andrés Muschietti (Mama) directed IT from a screenplay he wrote with Gary Doberman, based on Stephen King's epic 1986 novel of the same name. Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith, and David Katzenberg are producing, with Jon Silk executive producing the project. IT is scheduled for a September 8th, 2017 release from Warner Bros.

When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
