As fans of the original mini-series will know, Beverly's backstory wasn't given too much time to develop, but that's not the case in the new version.
Producer, Barbara Muschietti, added that there's only one scene that was deemed to be too horrific to feature in the new film.
“To tell everything, you won’t find the scene where a kid has his back broken and is thrown in the toilets. We thought that the visual translation of that scene had something that was really too much. But for the rest, we removed nothing from our original vision, and we didn’t water down the violence of any event. We believe the fans will be thankful to us for keeping that aspect of the novel in the movie. Well, for now, none of the people who saw the screenings left the theater! I got to say we escape a lot of objections thanks to the context of the story, since it’s the kids’ fear that feed the monster.”
On this note, the director is delighted that he was allowed to make a horrific, gruesome and nightmarish version of King's beloved novel.
"From our very first discussion with the people from New Line, it was understood that the movie was gonna be rated R. Of course it was already crazy that they started a story revolving around the death of children. But if you aimed for a PG-13 movie, you had nothing at the end. So we were very lucky that the producers didn’t try to stop us. In fact it’s more our own moral compass that sometimes showed us that some things lead us in places where we didn’t want to go," Andy Muschietti adds.
Prepare to be terrified when IT is unleashed in cinemas on September 8th.
