A week has already passed since the first footage from Stephen King’s It premiered at SXSW. One of the writers at Bloody-Disgusting managed to get a look at the footage during the event, and quickly described it in detail. Fans everywhere have been waiting eagerly ever since with the hope that the footage will be released online soon.
And, although that still has yet to happen, we’ve been given a nice little treat thanks to Empire Magazine. It’s a still image that seems to be taken directly from the SXSW trailer described by Bloody-Disgusting.
“The trailer opens with footage of Bill Denbrough making a paper boat for his little brother Georgie. We then move outside, where Georgie is chasing his boat in a rainstorm as it floats next to the curb. Suddenly, Georgie runs right into a street barrier, which knocks him down on the ground. He then watches as his boat sails into a gutter. He runs to the gutter and tries to see if he can see his boat. As he looks deep into the sewers, Pennywise abruptly appears before the screen cuts to black.”
Check out the image below, which boasts a familiar and very iconic image of Pennywise beckoning for Georgie from the gutter:
Stephen King’s It directed by Andy Muschietti takes place “in a small town in Maine, where seven children known as The Losers’ Club come face to face with life problems, bullies, and a monster that takes the shape of a clown called Pennywise.“
The film has a release date set for September 8, 2017.
