FILM 1724: IT
TRIVIA: Bill Skarsgård did
research into the "psycho universe" to find his own way to perform
Pennywise. He got inspiration from The Shining (1980).
A lot of the lines were actually
improvised by the kids. Most of the Richie/Eddie banter was improv. Jack Dylan Grazer (Eddie)
actually wrote a lot of Finn Wolfhard's (Richie) jokes.
Grossed the largest box office
record for any Horror film with $117.1 million dollar opening weekend.
Around the time of the theatrical
release of this film, in Lititz, Pennsylvania, there was a prank that involved
a series of red balloons tied to sewer grates throughout the town mimicking one
of the book covers of the "It" novel. The prank had frightened the
citizens, including the Lititz police force.
Shipped to cinemas under the code
name "POUND FOOLISH" a literal opposite to Pennywise.
The cast of the "Losers
Club" were asked whom they wanted to play their adult parts: Finn Wolfhard (Richie
Tozier) said Bill Hader, Sophia Lillis (Beverly Marsh) said Jessica Chastain, Chosen Jacobs (Mike
Hanlon) said Chadwick Boseman, Jack Dylan Grazer (Eddie
Kaspbrak) said Jake Gyllenhaal, Wyatt Oleff (Stanley
Uris) said Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jeremy Ray Taylor (Ben
Hanscom) said Chris Pratt and Jaeden Lieberher (Bill
Denbrough) said Christian Bale.
