Was wondering if the scene where bev has sex with the club will be in the movie. My guess is no bc it wasn't in the first one and as a society we r even more sensitive to that now than when the 1st movie was made. Wondering if any knew for sure
Is this scene in the movie

...it's a pivotal plot point but one that won't make the screen as written...
I'm betting it won't be in there as written...maybe there will be something of a more symbolic nature?
Let's hope. I'm not saying it was a gratuitous scene but it just makes me uncomfortable. I think the "blood brothers" scene would be enough to explain that part of the novel.
...no, not gratuitous....never seen King cheat his readers in that fashion...it was an integrally uncomfortable moment....he never professed to being a fan of a soft sell in a plot point....
I doubt that it will. It doesn't propel the plot of a movie. It does in the book because we read their thoughts. Can't really do that in a movie. I can hear the cries of "kiddie porn" from the prudes if it were.
Even those who aren't prudes, I think, may have reservations about watching prepubescent children have sex together...in a sewer of all places, lol.
i think the thing that baffles me is how many people hear that a theater version of It is being made and immediately leap to that scene, as if nothing else happened in the book." oh, they're making It? hope there's no sewer orgy" . . . haven't seen that too much here, but facebook gets that a lot. i get not wanting to see it, but realistically, who thinks a studio would green light that for a movie they're planning wide release for?
Last I read online is that the scene will not be in the movie.
There was an article on this very question last week:
'IT': Don't Expect to See Stephen King's Controversial Sex Scene - Bloody Disgusting!

well after reading that, it seems as if people were worried about the wrong director. saw plenty of worry and ire that they had to change, and if any of what that says is true, we absolutely needed the director swap.
I've read the book a few times, it's still my favorite SK work, but that scene is just uncomfortable and I've never thought it necessary. I understand the logic behind it, but I don't think it was essential to the plot. Just curious, did anybody question this when the TV mini-series was released?
...oh for God's Sake!...nobody is going to include child sex in a movie(if they know what's good for them).....I just don't get the whole hullaballoo of re-hashing this, and King having to explain his thoughts or creative process....he hasn't been in the business of writing "feel good" books....so what?.....it makes people uncomfortable......many book scenes do that.....it's still remains an integral part of the plotting and wasn't written in a lascivious way....it's a dead topic......let it go....
It won't. That's one of several reasons why the original director parted ways with the studio (he actually wanted to do it).
And let's face it, after however many decades and people still mistakenly (or jocularly) referring to that scene as a "gang-bang" and an "orgy," that alone is enough for any studio to steer clear of adapting that part of the story. In the book you understand the context in which it takes place. Try committing that to film and the PC-police will have a field day, effectively killing the movie before it's even released.
