A creepy new trailer has been released for the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King`s It. You can check it out below, but those scared of clowns should stay far, far away.This is the first of two planned movies based on It. This one centers on a group of children dealing with the villainous clown, Pennywise. The second movie--which may begin production soon--will focus on these characters as adults, again having to deal with It.The new trailer provides an expanded look at some of the scenes we`ve seen previously, as well as the addition of some new content. That includes the talk of a curse on the town that`s responsible for the many tragedies that have taken place there, as well as the apparent reluctance of the adults to acknowledge that something is truly awry.The film`s young cast includes Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard, Jaeden Lieberhe (Midnight Special), Sophia Lillis (37), Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Chosen Jacobs (Hawaii Five-0). It also features Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise.In a recent interview, director Andres Muschietti provided some insight into how this year`s film will differ from the 1990 TV adaptation, which starred Tim Curry as Pennywise. `People who read the book and got the book, they`re not crazy about the miniseries,` he told Variety. `It was a very watered-down version. It didn`t contain the darkness that the book had. They couldn`t make something for TV about a clown who eats children.``I wanted to stay true to the essence of [Pennywise],` he added. `I knew that I didn`t want to go the road of Tim Curry. Bill Skarsgard caught my attention. The character has a childish and sweet demeanor, but there`s something very off about him. Bill has that balance in him. He can be sweet and cute, but he can be pretty disturbing.`It is due out in theaters on September 8.
