Teaser Trailer For The Documentary PENNYWISE: THE STORY OF IT
If you're like me and you grew up on the classic 90s TV adaptation of Stephen King's IT, there's a documentary in development that will definitely interest you. It's called Pennywise: The Story of IT and it will dive deep into the production of the classic TV movie.
The doc will include 50 interviews with the cast and crew of the film along with over 700 never-before-seen photos from the production and of course there will be rare footage from the set shown, some of which is teased in this teaser trailer of Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown right before he is about to shoot a scene in the film.
Tim Curry scared the living shit out of me when I first saw this movie! They even actually got to interview him for this movie, which is so cool!
The documentary "will explore the legacy of the show as well as the cultural impact that Pennywise has had on a generation of fans. With hours of never-before-seen behind the scenes footage and exclusive photos ‘Pennywise’ will be the ultimate celebration of this much loved classic and will also be a lasting tribute to the remarkable work of one of cinema’s greatest character actors Mr. Tim Curry."
The doc was directed by Christopher Griffiths, who says he is looking to "tell a story heard by few and showcase a wealth of behind-the-scenes footage and photos seen by even fewer."
As much as I loved the new IT movie, this one will always have a special place in my heart. It will always be the film that scared me to death when I was growing up.
The Story of IT will arrive in Summer 2018.
