New Photo of STRANGER THINGS' Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier in Stephen King's IT
A new photo has surfaced from the new feature film adaptation of Stephen King's It, and it offers us a new look at Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard in the role of Richie Tozier. This is such perfect casting for the character, and I'm looking forward to seeing Wolfhard's take on the role that was previously played by Seth Green in the '90s TV film adaptation.
IT is being directed by Andy Muschietti (Mama), and so far I've liked everything I've seen and heard about the film. Right now I'm just eagerly waiting to see a trailer for the film.
The film is based on the novel by Stephen King, whose story recalls a promise made 28 years ago that forces seven adults to reunite in Derry, Maine, where as teenagers they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Unsure that their Losers Club had vanquished the creature all those years ago, the seven had vowed to return to Derry if IT should ever reappear. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that summer return as they prepare to do battle with the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers once more.
The film is being released in two parts. The first one is set in the 1980s and will focus on the "Losers Club" as they come together to battle It. The second film is set 30 years later in modern times when the monster returns and the group of friends are forced to come back together to destroy It once and for all.
The movie also stars Jaeden Lieberher (Midnight Special) as Bill Denbrough, newcomer Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Jack Dylan Grazer (Tales of Halloween) as Stan Uris, Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy) as Eddie Kaspbrak, Chosen Jacobs (Hawaii Five-0) as Mike Hanlon, and Jeremy Ray Taylor (42) as Ben Hanscom.
The first film is set to be released on September 8th, 2017.
