The doc includes 2 HOURS of never before seen footage from the set.
From Dead Mouse Productions Ltd and Cult Screenings UK Ltd, makers of Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II and You’re so cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night, comes a fully independent retrospective into the making of Stephen King’s IT and its cultural impact over the last 28 years. Titled Pennywise: The Story of IT, the upcoming documentary is being directed by Chris Griffiths, and it’s set to “tell a story heard by few and showcase a wealth of behind-the-scenes footage and photos seen by even fewer.”
From exploring the historical and cultural phenomenon of coulrophobia (the fear of clowns) to Tim Curry’s magical portrayal of Pennywise the Clown (and yes, Curry himself is involved!) to the impact Vancouver (aka “Hollywood North”) had on the 1990 made-for-TV miniseries, The Story of IT will dig deeper into the Pennywise phenomenon than anything ever has before, and we’ve just been provided with our first sneak peek courtesy of the doc’s fundraising campaign.
You can help make Pennywise: The Story of IT a reality over on Indiegogo, where the project has already raised nearly half its budget in less than 24 hours. Perks include posters, t-shirts and producer credits, as well as pre-orders of the FOUR-HOUR documentary on DVD and/or Blu-ray.
