As we recently told you, John Campopiano (Pennywise: The Story of IT) has teamed with director Ryan Grulich on Georgie, a short film that’s essentially an unofficial sequel to the 1990 mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s IT. What makes this “fan film” special? Georgie stars IT actor Tony Dakota as Georgie Denbrough, the character he played in the 1990 mini-series!
Ben Heller, young Stanley Uris from IT 1990, also appears in the short.
Thanks to our friends over at Fangoria, Georgie is now streaming for all to see, and you can watch the full short below. It’s a surreal, freaky treat that fans of IT 1990 will absolutely love!
Campopiano recently told us, “Collaborating with Tony Dakota on this fever dream story was surreal and very rewarding. Our West Coast crew who helped make this idea a reality were all top notch. I think that fans of IT and Stephen King will find something inside the tiny universe we’ve created that will satisfy their darkest cravings. That’s the hope, anyway!”
Grulich added, “Georgie is an intentionally disorienting film, and the production was no different. The most intense short film I’ve worked on. We were graced with a very special cast, a highly capable and dedicated crew and backers who believed we could execute a unique reimagining of a cherished American story.”
