IT Chapter Two brought the adaptation of Stephen King’s classic novel to a close. Unlike the novel, however, these two movies were told in a linear fashion, whereas the book actually had all of the events happen non-linearly. This worked great on screen, as we got to see the children from the first movie get recast into their adult forms and benefit from the suspense of not knowing who makes it in the end.
But there were more changes going on than just that and a lot of them had to do with It, otherwise known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. For one, there are the transformations It can take on. The cosmic evil is actually a shapeshifter and in the books, took on the appearance of many classic film characters. In the movie, however, there are no connections to any movies in Pennywise’s transformations. Likewise, It is actually female and pregnant in the book. In the movies, which shifts the setting forward around thirty years, this detail is actually absent entirely. Perhaps it’ll feature in the director’s cut of Chapter 2, which is said to come in at around four hours long.
A lot of the scenes during the final confrontation with It and the whole Ritual of Chud are changed quite a bit on the big screen when compared to the original novel. For one, where’s Maturin the Turtle? Pennywise’s origins are explained more in-depth in the book and how the Losers gain that information varies. Pennywise’s final transformation, his true form, and his ultimate fate are also changed, as well as the overall ending for the Losers by association. Which did you prefer, the book or the new movies? Let us know!
