Georgie's Phantom


So does Georgie not die ? The photo Barbara M.
Posted to her Instagram had a photo titled Georgie's Phantom. So does Georgie not die in the sewers in the beginning of the film ?

reply

Sounds to me like the scene from the miniseries where Pennywise is taunting and playing tricks on Bill in the sewer

reply

Well, a phantom is a ghost so it would still mean that he's dead. It could be a hallucination or a replacement for the picture book scene and George could slowly turn into Pennywise perhaps

reply

I hope that Pennywise is 100% mean-spirited and dangerous in this re-adaptation. And also totally cruel when It messes with Bill's head with the ghost of George.

I just hope Georgie dies

I have never wanted a 5 year old to die so bad in my entire life

I know what you mean, I never thought I'd want an adorable,five year old boy to die so badly! What have we become! Mr King has a lot to answer for.

Lol, it was the video of the director and Georgie "practicing lines" and doing duck sounds that made me go, "Aww.. I'm gonna feel so bad to see this kid get his arm torn off!"

That's gonna make the film a lot more emotional and intense

For me...it was that photograph of little Georgie in the arms of Muschietti! It was such a sweet photograph...as the director appears to comfort / so protective of the little actor! 😊

Haha yeah, all the cast and crew seemed to take tons of pictures with him, I recall one where Jackson was even riding the shoulders of Nicholas Hamilton. It's good to know they looked after the little guy, considering the horrors the character is going to go through!

I'm guessing Georgie IS the phantom.

I love trolls, they taste like chicken.

I'm guessing from what little I can make out of the still, that this will be the Georgie in the closet scene (alluded to in Beverlys encounter with IT) . Just before the blood balloon pops in Bev's sink: "Tell Bill that Georgie says hello, tell Bill that Georgie misses him but he'll see him soon, tell him Georgie will be in the closet some night with a piece of piano wire to stick in his eye - tell him" . Was really creepy in the book, but I don't recall if he does in fact visit Bill.
