Watch the ‘IT’ 1990 Trailer Cut Like the ‘IT’ 2017 Trailer
1990 version. 2017 style.
Ever since the trailer for this year’s IT hit the net back in March, horror fans just haven’t been able to stop talking about it. Personally speaking, I’ve watched it at least twenty times – it took me a handful of views before I even spotted the Leper in one shot – and I know I’m not alone. Many fans have even been re-editing the trailer for various interesting and comedic purposes.
One fan replaced Pennywise with Mike Myers’ Cat in the Hat for a funny trailer spoof, while another put clips from the 1990 mini-series side-by-side with the remake footage to show the similarities and differences between the decades-apart adaptations. Similar to the latter edit, another IT fan just took it upon himself to cut the mini-series into a 2017 style trailer.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
