welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
things that it 2017 did differently
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at the differences not just
between the 2017 film adaptation of the
Stephen King story and the 1990
miniseries but also the changes from the
book many plot points regarding the
movie miniseries and book are ahead so a
major spoiler alert is now in effect
number 10 the era in which the story
takes place in the book the losers first
encounter the intergalactic Terror known
informally as Pennywise the clown in the
summer of 1958 and 27 years later they
return to finish it off the miniseries
was closed but shows 1964 the original
encounter and 30 not 27 years later for
the second fight the 2017 adaptation
moves the story to the late 80s updating
the time period for a more modern
audience and hitting all those nostalgic
notes it’s almost as though Stand By Me
was a trial run for it while that would
place the second fight in the upcoming
part two in 2016
many moviegoers noted that the film’s
2017 release date saw it returning to
screens 27 years after the first
adaptation number 9
Patrick Hawke stutter Patrick Hawks
deader one of the more sinister members
of Henry Bowers gang is a character from
the original book that was left out of
the 1990 adaptation his death comes
before any of the other bullies meet
their fates
[Music]
while his demise in the 2017 film is
chilling in the novel Patrick’s death is
downright gruesome after making sexual
advances on Henry in a junkyard Bowers
threatens to tell the police about
Patrick’s junkyard fridge where the
troubled youth keeps dead animals after
Bowers leaves Patrick goes to dispose of
the carcasses but upon opening the
fridge is attacked by it manifested as
blood sucking and flying leeches
it sucks him dry and drags his body to
the sewers
number eight the blood oath swear to me
that if initiative in the book having
successfully vanquished it more so they
hope the losers make a solemn promise to
return to dari should Pennywise ever
rise again while the spirit of this was
maintained in the 1990 adaptation the
severity of the promise was minimized as
the kids simply touch hands and linked
arms
as the AIDS crisis was still in full
swing in 1990 the producers probably
didn’t want to show kids mixing blood so
casually in 2017 though just like in the
book they use a Blood Pact to illustrate
the seriousness of their promise
slitting their hands with a broken
bottle as they swear to one another to
come back if the job ever needs
finishing number 7 Mike’s parents my dad
was stationed in Derry during World War
two and he started collecting these old
photos that go way back to the olden
days most of the parents and adults in
general are absent in the 2017
adaptation because Pennywise has
influence over the town compels the
grown-up towns folk to look the other
way but no parents are quite so absent
as Mike hanlin’s
they’re deceased which is quite a change
from the novel and the 1990 miniseries
in the book Mike and his parents are
constantly the target of racist comments
and aggression and his father and Henry
Bowers father have a long dark history
however in the 2017 adaptation both
Mike’s mother and father are dead and
he’s being raised by his grandpa I think
this friendship with the losers Club
really means a lot to him number 6 Henry
Bowers
you’re dead Fat Boy in the 2017 film
like in the book Henry is not just a
little punk but a child of abuse
learning torment and Prejudice at his
father’s knee his shattered mental state
even leads him to kill his own father
before pursuing the losers however his
2017 screen exit is where things really
deviate from the book in the miniseries
instead of following the losers to the
sewers flanked by buddies belch Huggins
and Victor Chris Henry goes after the
losers alone and after a brief fight
with Mike tumbles down the well if he
survived the fall he probably still has
an important part to play in Derry
number five the niebolt Street house
while it’s an important location in the
book the niebolt Street house never made
an appearance in the 1990 miniseries
however the haunted house was given its
proper due by director Andy mushi Ettie
and crew more than just a creepy
building the niebolt house is its above
ground lair and in some ways is an
extension of it itself kind of how the
town of Derry also is under Penny wisest
influence the house can play tricks on
the minds of anyone foolish or brave
enough to go inside since it’s the site
of their first battle niebolt is where
the losers begin to understand the power
of their friendship number 4 Beverly
Marsh Beverly’s fears about adulthood
are wrapped up in her own sexuality in
the 1990s miniseries she was just one of
the losers a working-class girl with an
abusive father in the 2017 version it’s
clear that her father is a pervert who
worries about her and at school she has
the unfair reputation as a slut
womanhood and sex are her greatest fears
and the 2017 film does not shy away from
those themes the book’s infamous and
polarizing sex scene where she turns her
fear into an act of love for her friends
in an attempt to grow up however did not
make it into the latest adaptation
number three
Georgie’s disappearance versus his death
in both the book and the miniseries it
is very clear that little Georgie den
bro is dead dead dead in the book he
meets Bob gray also known as penny wise
also known as it in the storm drain
while chasing his paper boat while the
iconic set up is the same in all three
what varies is the final execution
hardened the double entendre in all
three Georgie’s arm is ripped off in the
book in the miniseries
the boy bleeds out off-camera in the
miniseries and is confirmed dead in the
2017 film his arm is torn off but he’s
then dragged into the sewer
this plants false hope in big bill and
the audience that maybe the missing kids
can be saved
[Music]
number two more cursing and violence
it’s basically piss and shit so I’m just
telling you
in the opening scene with Georgie and
Pennywise the 2017 adaptation quickly
establishes one thing it earned that are
rating made-for-tv the 1990 version was
cleaned up enough to be enjoyed at home
by families and while it is still
enjoyable the miniseries could never
quite achieve the terror of the book
however mushi yetis r-rated films salted
things back up with lots of f-bombs and
crude humour from the kids and plenty of
graphic violence and horror as a result
a 2017 version is more terrifying and a
truer adaptation of the book overall and
hey all Steve is the king of horror for
a reason number one flashbacks versus
linear storytelling in both the book and
the miniseries the story is set during
the losers adult phase with the events
of their terrifying childhood told in
flashbacks as a result the rising action
of each timeline young and grown is
experienced in tandem in the book this
is even more effective since as adults
the losers have forgotten everything
that happened and must help each other
piece things together adding a dark
mystery component however in the 2017
film the timeline is linear featuring
only the adolescent losers with their
adult lives to be explored in the sequel
both forms are effective although
individuals will surely have their
preferences
