It
2017 ’s adaption of Stephen King ’s novel , ITdidn’t pluck any slug with audiences , despite the majority of its cast being fry . However , a deleted aspect that depicted an alternating opening night to the film show Georgie Denbrough surviving his brush withPennywise the Dancing Clown .
Fromdirector Andy Muschiettiand writer Gary Dauberman , ITbrought all the most brutal aspects of King ’s novel to the big screen in a aerodynamic , cinematically gorgeous way . The talented unseasoned actors who portrayedmembers of the Losers ' Clubmade audiences finger - and care - for their hardships , but particularly for Bill Denbrough , who is excruciate throughout the first pic by the death of his little brother , Georgie . While this allowed Bill to resist up and become one of the driving forces behind the battle against Pennywise , it ’s certainly no easy effort to master sorrow , intimidation , and the early stages of young adulthood all at once . Muschietti - who manifestly has a sense of sense of humour - sought to brighten one of the picture ’s more barbarous sequences with a hilarious alternate opening .

There really was no way to go about makingITwithout Georgie ’s death , but the amusing take on the gutter exchange between Georgie and Pennywise is worth watch over , even if it ’s only just an alternative take on the film ’s sad reality .
IT’s Alternate Opening Let Georgie Live
The alternating opening was included asa deleted sceneon the Blu - Ray of Andy Muschietti ’s 2017ITmovie , and gave Georgie Denbrough a much happy end . While it ’s coarse for edit scene to include sequences from a flick that did n’t fit out for one reason or another , or perhaps had to be shaved down for time or a different rating , it seems that Muschietti added this gem of a scene just for laughs . After all , there ’s certainly nothing risible about cold - full-blood child murder by an evil buffoon . The original scene - which has since become iconic - has been spoof many times before both in meme variant and even in larger capacities , such as the Kellyanne Conway burlesque onSaturday Night Live . While Georgie ’s fate did become a immense catalyst for the Losers ' Club to go after Pennywise in the first place , led by his brave big brother Bill , it ’s nice to think about what might have happened if he ’d just grabbed that boat a lilliputian quicker .
Though it was clearly only a joke succession , the light - hearted take was likely fun for histrion Jackson Robert Scott , who can most recently be seen on Netflix’sLocke & Key . shaver thespian in horror picture show do n’t always have the easiest job , especially when they get dismembered on - screen , and , in the yesteryear , great lengths have been use up to ensure the young actors are give a secure - and fun - work environment . Stanley Kubricksaw to this duringThe Shining , where the youthful actor who played Danny Torrance , Danny Lloyd , did n’t even know he was making a horror moving picture . Kubrick tried to shield him from all the violence sequences in the pic , and Shelly Duvall even carry around a life - sized dummy during some of her scenes instead of the actor playing her son .
While this seems a little far - fetched in some capacities , it ’s nice to know that the actors get to clown around on the stage set ofITbehind the scenes .
