Just wanted to see who caught some Easter Eggs while watching the new IT film?
When Richie was in the room full of clown dolls, one of them was Pennywise from the 90's mini-series.
When Ben was fighting Pennywise at the end it looked like mummy wrappings wrapping around his head? A nod to Ben's mummy from the book?
Anyone catch anything else?

Another easter egg, this one to the original mini-series. In the book, Ben lives in Derry, but was in a different class from most of the other losers, as there were two fifth grade classes. In the mini-series, he was the new kid in town. The movie used that version of Ben instead of the book version.

When watching the movie, I must admit, I thought during Beverly's scene with Mr. Keene, when he said she looked like Lois Lane, I thought that she did have the look of a younger Amy Adams. I just saw that Adams is in consideration for the role in Part 2 ... not sure if that is a coincidence, an easter egg, just an inside joke, or D) All of the above.

On a similar note, I haven't given a lot of thought to the adult versions of the characters, but part of me doesn't want a lot of name actors. A large part of me would rather see unknowns instead of Jessica Chastain or Amy Adams, etc. I want part 2 to be about the characters, not the big names that will probably be campaigning for these roles after the success of Part 1.
