Well this movie just has to cover the children side of the plot. Provided the sequel with the adults gets made and each movie is roughly two hours they should theoretically cover more of the story than the Tim Curry version did.

I really hope this film gets its marketing right. Id hate for it to only get the kids side just because of poor box office returns put the producers off of making another.

But you are right, we are already getting more of the kids story (which is the real heart of the story) - i hope that Andy gives all the characters the depth and emotional development they deserve. Itd be a shame to have all the good scares but then get, for example, Bev and Ben's stories watered down.

But we know we will get Patrick's fridge, the Leper, and from the scene lists Andy Muschietti posted on Instagram during the edit, it looks like we will get the ritual of Chud. Also, they have posted a lot of hints of the turtle in production pictures. And also the Paul Bunyan statue IS in it. I doubt they will have the werewolf or the mummy in there, but maybe something more suggestive of the 80's horror. Possibly even movie-within-a-movie that It will manifest itself as.

As far as we know, the fears are going to be more "personal" so there's probably not going to be a werewolf or the creature from the black lagoon.

I also just had a look at Andy Muschietti's instagram and found a sketch for a storyboard that has 'he thrusts his fists against the posts...' - which is awesome

Heck yeah, plus the pic of Eddie at Neibolt is captioned "itsy bitsy spider"

Given the low budget, I don't think we'll get to see the bird. They're likely to invent an original form for Mike. As for the creature from the black lagoon, I don't think it'll be in the movie, as the Eddie Corcoran was kind of pointless and added nothing to the story.
