            The It remake has had plenty of issues since it had begun development. Originally, Cary Fukunaga was supposed to helm the film based on the Stephen King novel but now Andres Muschietti (Mama) is directing with Bill Skarsgaard starring as Pennywise in the first trailer.

            The trailer showcases the last moments of a young boy’s life running down a flooded street before his paper boat floats into the sewer and revealing the horrifying clown. The preview for the horror flick also reveals nods to the original book including the house at 29 Neibolt Street as well as the fire at the Black Spot. This could quite possibly be the best trailer of the year thus far and truly exceeded my expectations. Skarsgaard looks terrific as Pennywise the Clown. Also, with Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things as one of the Losers, you can count me in for being there for opening night.

            Check out the trailer for It below! The film stars Skarsgaard, Wolfhard, Jarden Lieberher, Jack Dylan Grazer, Jackson Robert Scott, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray. It opens in theaters on September 8^th.
