The kid actors looked pretty legit, as I know the one is who is in Stranger Things. Now I havent read the book, though I may have to before this comes out. But from what I heard from those that have the first movie lacked the same scary element that was in the book, except for the few scenes with Tim Curry as he was great in it. But I am guessing that is because it was a made for tv show.

Also I hope Tim Curry can make some sort of a cameo. I dont know how he is doing these days, but he had a stroke a few years back and was wheelchair bound from it.

Yeah, I remember watching the original and even as a kid it wasn't scary. Loved Tim Curry as Pennywise and he made it worth watching (and rewatching), but the movie itself wasn't very engaging. A big part of that was probably just the effects of the time and — as you mentioned — having to soften some of the scarier/intense moments for network TV.

The book, as most King books go, is great.
