Teaser Trailer Arrives for Documentary ‘Pennywise: The Story of IT’
In the Fall of 1990, Pennywise was unleashed on television audiences with a mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s IT, and the upcoming documentary Pennywise: The Story of IT will be diving deep into the sewers of Derry to tell the true stories behind the clown that terrified a generation.
With over 50 interviews with cast & crew as well as over 700 never-before-seen photos from the production, the fan funded documentary from director Chris Griffiths aims 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 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.
The Story of IT will arrive in Summer 2018, and we’ve got the teaser for ya today!

From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
