The Ritual of Chud would be such a cool scene to see on the big screen.

I've actually written on this before, one sec lemme find it...
Ok! Got it!
I hope the chapter where Richie begs his parents for cash and ends up going with Ben and Bev, eventually fighting Bowers’ crew, is kept because the miniseries only showed the parents of the Losers who were abusive. I feel it makes it more realistic and shows that not all the kids came from broken homes. Same with Mike and Bens parents.
I hope Eddies encounter with Pennywise is kept the same as the miniseries, in the gym shower. I feel that it plays more to his chracter, more so than a hobo offering to blow him.
I really hope the upcoming films adapt Ben as close to the book as possible tbh. I enjoyed his sections of the book an awful lot.
Simplify the ways IT is taken down. I really liked how the miniseries combined The House on Neibold street with the sewers, and hope the kids "defeat" IT this way, Pennywise taking the place of the werewolf. (Have Bill do his "Thrusts his fists" spiel here, alongside the battery acid, etc.) The Ritual of Chud will be used for when the adults take IT down.
KEEP PATRICK HOCKSTETTERS SEQUENCE IN THE MOVIE. Have what happened between him and Henry happen offscreen, but showing Beverlys reaction.
Open the first movie with Georges death, naturally. Then the Losers Club will slowly form together while witnessing Pennywise around town, intercut with Pennywise taking victims. (Maybe include the Carson brothers or whatever their name was) Once the 7 (6) are together and confess about the things they’ve seen.
Maybe age the kids up a little bit. 6th or 7th grade I feel is better but that’s just my opinion.
Maybe have a precredits sequence (told in newspapers clippings?) That briefly touches on some of Derrys history. The burning of the black spot, the explosion of the Ironworks, etc.

That's my favorite part in the book by far, not that I don't love all of the other parts. It's truly, brilliantly surreal and really scary.
Me neither.

I would love to see fully detailed version of the book in a series of for example 13 episodes
What a shame it's never gonna happen
With Netflix... (and its descendants to come) never say never. The quality of the series on Netflix and television is FAR superior to films these days.
Oh . . . I would love to see all of the "interludes" filmed. They're my favorite part of the whole thing.
Who was the guy with the axe? Claude Heroux?
I'd buy a ticket just to hear my father's voice in my head making fun of the patois.

yep, Claude Heroux, 9th of September 1905, location - Silver Dollar Bar
witness - Egbert Thoroughgood.

I think the Derry Interludes should be an HBO mini-series in between the two films. Anyone agree?
