It seems as though Hollywood loves making remakes of old horror classics. It was only a matter of time before they decided to remake the famous movie It based on Stephen King's novel. The above video is a side-by-side comparison of the 1990 trailer and the 2017 trailer for the movie.
Right from the beginning, you can see that the remake will try to make the movie much more sinister and nightmarish than the original. This is evident through the colors, music, and modern horror movie feel we get from the trailer. Even the reactions we get from the two Georgies differ and give the impression of a scarier clown in the 2017 remake.

From the trailer, it seems as though the directors are tweaking Pennywise's personality as well as his appearance. In addition to an overall creepier appearance, the new Pennywise seems to be based more on a monster that looks like a clown rather than a clown that is a monster.
After watching the original It and doing research on the remake, I've become more excited to see how closely the directors decide to stick to the original movie and plot. I hope that this remake will not try to incorporate too many modern horror movie cliches and focuses more on making the original more realistic.
