While the "It" sequel is still in production, rumors have been swirling about a potential prequel film that would explore the origins of Pennywise. According to reports, New Line Cinema is developing a prequel that would focus on the early days of Pennywise's reign of terror in Derry, long before the events of the first two films.
The prequel would be set in the 1920s, during the time period covered in the novel's flashback chapters. It would follow a new group of children as they face off against Pennywise for the first time, providing a fresh take on the story while still staying true to the source material.
What to Expect
Details about the "It" prequel are still scarce, but we can make some educated guesses about what to expect. The film will likely focus on a new group of children, similar to the Losers' Club, who must band together to defeat Pennywise. We can expect to see more of Pennywise's origins and the ancient evil that controls him, providing new insights into the creature's motivations and powers.
The prequel will also likely explore the early days of Derry as a haunted town, setting the stage for the events of the first two films. We may see the first appearances of some of the town's most iconic locations, such as the sewers and the Neibolt House.
