HBO Max is working up a prequel to the movie “It”. It’ll be set in the 1960s and be about how Pennywise came to be and lead up to the current movies. This will be a series, not a movie, called “Welcome To Derry”.
If you’re a Stephen King fan, you already know that Pennywise is just another manifestation of…….. well, you know if you know. He didn’t come to life from something else. But that’s just the nerd in me talking. I’ve never seen any of the “It” movies, old or newer. I read the novel. It’s not one of the ones that I liked very much. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t like clowns or what. I’m not afraid of them. Quite the contrary. I’ve never thought they were funny like everyone else and because of that, I’ve held a certain disdain for them. You know, like they’ve never lived up to the hype.
Anyway, the man behind the most recent movies is producing the series. No dates have been announced.
