It (2017)

[Chaotic]

I hate jump scares but these were so tame (I jump at everything) I'm surprised people are complaining.

[RYJAPE21]

I agree that jump scares are cheap and gimmicky, however, I thought both IT and The Conjuring movies used them effectively. A big reason for this is there was actual buildup and payoff, with bits of suspense.

[CBMe]

As I've only ever ordered one disc from Walmart, can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell if a pre-order title is/will be "instawatch" and if the instawatch codes are given to you when the digital release happens or is it not until the physical disc release date?
Wife wants it sooner than later so I'll order the UHD from them if it means a digital access on Dec 19th (instead of Jan 9th).

I received a copy of the Australian edition for review, which should be a direct port of the US disc. Can post special feature lengths and rundowns tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Holy shit. Give us extensive ten-page descriptions of the deleted scenes and very, very good things will come to you.

Seconded! I’m dying to hear about the deleted/extended content.

[nekromantik]

i could care less about deleted scenes on their own.
i just want extended cut!

[StrayButler91]

Okay, here's the rundown of extras:
Pennywise Lives (16:25) - a behind-the-scenes featurette about Pennywise, of course.
The Losers' Club (15:42) - a featurette about the child actors in the movie.
Author of Fear (13:51) - an extended interview with Stephen King, who talks at length about writing the book. He mentions that Derry was based off a town in Maine called Bangor.

And... deleted scenes! These total 15:18!
- "Georgie Catches Boat (Opening Gag Scene)": When Georgie grabs for the boat in the opening...he gets it and walks away, saying "See you later!" to a frustrated Pennywise. Gotta admit, I laughed.
- "Stanley's Dad corrects him (Extended scene)": Stanley is reciting Hebrew in a synagogue, but his Dad jumps in to correct his pronunciation.
- "Denbrough family dinner": Bill sits at the dinner table while his Dad reads a magazine and his Mum washes up. Bill starts talking about their family trip for the year, but his Mum walks off upset. His Dad explains that Georgie was really looking forward to it.
- "Bill's Dad looks in the basement, et all": After Bill has his encounter with Pennywise in the basement, he runs into his father. His Dad has a look in the basement, doesn't find anything, and tells Bill to go to bed. Meanwhile, Henry tries to sneak out past his Dad, and gets into a car with Victor and Belch. They see Mike ride past on his bike.
- "Outside the Neibolt house": Mike, Beverly, Ben and Stanley are outside the house while Bill, Eddie and Richie are inside. Stanley talks about not being able to go inside while Mike comforts him. Ben places his hand on Beverly's shoulder.
- "Evacuating the Neibolt house (Extended scene)": Just an extended scene of the Losers' Club leaving the house and getting on their bikes.
- "Stanley's Bar Mitzvah speech": Self-explanatory. Stanley delivers a speech after his Bar Mitzvah about "indifference," during which there's a brief montage showing what the other kids are up to. He makes a bit of a scene and storms off while Richie claps.
- "Eddie at Keene's pharmacy (Extended scene)": Just an extended scene at the pharmacy as Eddie talks to the girl who signs his cast with "Loser."
- "Henry and Bullies wait outside (Extended scene)": As the Losers' Club heads into the Neibolt house, Henry sits in his car with his face covered in blood. Belch and Victor are dead with throats slit.
- "The Losers find Georgie's walkie": Bill picks up Georgie's walkie right before Henry attacks Mike at the top of the well.
- "Denbrough family vacation": After saying goodbye to Beverly at the end of the movie, Bill and his parents are packing for the family vacation Bill was talking about in an earlier deleted scene. This subplot does kind of enhance the family dynamic. As the car drives away, the camera pulls in to the drain where Georgie was taken. Camera stops, and rain starts to hit the pavement. This would have been a perfect final shot.

[Batman90]

That sucks nothing with Pennywise but something tells me there more that they are holding back.

[DanTheMan]

Some of those deleted scenes sound great! Also really excited about those three featurettes.

[RYJAPE21]

Thanks for posting! It’s a shame we lost those Denbrough family scenes; Bill’s mother was hardly in the film and it would’ve offered a closer look into Bill’s loneliness. The Stan speech scene is interesting and Henry’s dead friends was a bit of a plot hole in the final cut. I’m still hoping an extended cut will eventually be released.

The director had mentioned an extended quarry scene that would be in the “director’s cut”’that wasn’t listed here. Hmm...

[Mandalorian]

No extended cut (which may never even come out) and interesting, but light extras. Yeah, I’m going to grab a digital copy when this one comes out and hope the re-release comes to fruition. Or that we at least hear offficial word on its existence.

[Uncanny]

(Henry and Bullies wait outside (Extended scene)": As the Losers' Club heads into the Neibolt house, Henry sits in his car with his face covered in blood. Belch and Victor are dead with throats slit.)

Should have been left in the movie!

I’m grabbing the digital and I’ll wait for a DC or wait for when part is released on bluray to buy it.

[Leterface]

One of the best remakes for a long time so even I usually hate remakes I most likely will buy this film, unsure however will I get the UHD or BD..

You've done a man's job, sir! Thanks for the low-down on the deleted scenes. Fairly pleased with what's listed here - some of it was in the screenplay, whereas Stan's speech was featured prominently in trailers and TV spots - though I do think they're still holding back somewhat. I bet the 1600s Pennywise sequence will make its way into It: Chapter Two.

[Fairfax]

I cancelled mine, for now; I'm patient enough and I'd prefer to wait for the inevitable 'Ultimate' combined edition when both films have come out. I doubt there'll be any extended cuts even then but you never know; maybe there'll be tie-ins between the two to make them flow better.
