It
ITcould have have cameos from famous ' eighty movie teras , according to managing director Andy Muschietti . One of the many abilities ofIT’scentral monsterPennywiseis his ability to shape - shift and take on the form of other hoi polloi and animate being , which he uses to playact mind biz and instill fear into his prey .
In the 2017 version ofIT , Pennywise changes into forms design to stir up each ofThe Losers ’ Clubin unique ways . For germaphobe Eddie , he takes on the guise of a diseased lazar , and for Stan , he brings a creepy house painting to lifetime . In Stephen King ’s novel , he take on many other forms too - including famous pop polish monsters like the shark fromJaws , Frankenstein ’s Monster andDracula .
With these unique abilities , it must have been allure to include one or two famous creatures , and Muschietti confirms in an interview withAin’t It Cool Newsthe mean crossbreed his mind during developing .
Obviously we considered that for a mo , but I was n’t too interested in play Freddy Krueger into the mix . I love the storey and I love how Stephen King essentially seduce a portrait of puerility in the ' 50 . He ’s very true when he impart all the Universal Monsters to the repertoire of incarnation because that ’s what shaver were afraid of . It would be a natural path to render to recreate that in the ' 80s , but I really was n’t too unbalanced about bring material like Freddy Krueger into the tarradiddle . I thought it was a turn too meta with New Line involve in the film . It ’s distracting and it did n’t sense right , for some reason .
alternatively , the theater director want to centre on the psychological fears of each of the kids , and make Pennywise ’s various form a little more personal .
I wanted to institute fears that were a fiddling more layered and refer to childhood trauma and more surprising in general . I think that Stephen King was undefendable to that . When he saw the film I basically wrote a missive to him ask him for forgiveness for having taken so many licenses , especially with the many unlike embodiment of Pennywise . He order “ Do n’t occupy about it . All the change are great ! ”
give the 1980s setting , it definitely would have been a dainty surprisal to see familiar monsters likeFreddy , Jason or Pinhead look , but it feels like the theater director made the right call . Other than giving fans a abbreviated hit of dulcet nostalgia , it likely would have been distract and taken audience out of the movie .
That ’s not to saypart twocouldn’t feature of speech a famous monster or two , so long as such a cameo make sentiency for the level . The nextITcould go super meta and feature Pennywise turn into famousStephen King villainslike Christine , Cujo or The Green Goblin Truck fromMaximum Overdrive , but as Andy Muschietti enjoin , that meta approach is probably best avoided .
