New IT Trailer Compared Side-By-Side with the '90s Mini-Series
I just finished reading Stephen King's horror novel It for the first time last week, just before the new trailer beat The Fate of the Furious to become the most-watched in a day. I never saw the made-for-TV mini-series adaptation starring Tim Curry, and since I know how big a deal that was for a lot of people in my generation, I wanted to check it out. But after watching the trailer for the mini-series, I was put off by how cheap and, frankly, terrible it looked compared to the new movie trailer, so I think I'm just going to skip the mini-series and wait for the new movie to come out.
Someone has edited a side-by-side comparison of the new trailer with footage from the mini-series to show you the similarities between the two adaptations, and while it's clear they're both pulling from the same source material, I still think the mini-series just looks a little too cheesy for me to devote the time to checking it out. I'm betting it's like The Goonies: if you saw it as a kid, you'll love it, but if you watch it for the first time as an adult, it won't have nearly the same effect.
