is it a new adaptation of the book?
Because I didn't think the miniseries was that good at all. They just changed so much from the book, it really ruined the story. They changed the setting so it wasn't even summer vacation, not to mention all the character changes, like Mr. Marsh being a janitor at the school and Ben's mummy changed to seeing his dad, and that scene didn't even take place in the winter. And even the adults, they made Ben into a womanizing drunk in NYC, instead of a quiet architect living in NE.
I thought it was a terrible movie to be honest, Curry was pretty good as Pennywise though. But the rest of the casting didn't seem right at all, especially the kids. Seth Green seemed too big to be Richie, who's supposed to be small and scrawny. And the kid who played Ben, seemed to old and not as fat as Ben is supposed to be. He didn't seem to be that fat at all to be honest. That's just a small amount of what I thought was wrong.
I just feel the new movie should be based on the book and not the miniseries. Saying the new IT movie is a remake of the miniseries just seems to push the book aside and make the miniseries the definitive version of the story. That's kinda what happened with Harry Potter, it seemed to become all about the movies and people didn't talk about the books much anymore, even though the books were way better.
