These aren't necessarily concerns or hopes, but just my thoughts regarding the next part of the cinematic adaption of "It":
-I might be in the minority here, but in the novel "It", my favorite parts included the exploration of the nature of It and the parts featuring Maturin The Turtle. While they were easter egg nods to Maturin in Chapter 1, the director has stated he really won't be including him in his adaption. I am interested/concerned on how this would affect Chapter 2, especially considering the importance of the Ritual of Chud.
-The adult part in the book was decent enough. Not great, but not bad. In the TV mini-series, however, it got pretty bad. I wonder how Chapter 2 would approach the atmosphere and nature of the adult versions of The Losers Club.
-Andy Mushietti, the director, has stated that Mike will most likely be a junkie as an adult. Do you think Mike will still be a librarian? Do you think a drug hallucination will be how they bring in the Ritual of Chud? If so, how would that change the nature of the ritual itself, as well as the nature and origin of Pennywise?
-Speaking of Pennywise, his origins will need to be altered because, chances are, Maturin won't show up. Do you think they are just going to make Pennywise an alien? Or will they keep him supernatural? If so, what altered origin story do you think they will give him?
-Also, when the Losers return to Derry and they meet Pennywise individually before they take him on as a group, I think Pennywise should go for a less scary approach. He can take on different shapes and be aggressive, but I think he should be willing to negotiate with them like he sort of did in Chapter 1 before Richie picked up the baseball bat. This will make him appear more as a desperate creature, which I think will add some complexity.
Those are just some of my thoughts. What do you think?
