New ideas are really an idea of their own. Almost anything, no matter how fresh it is, can be tied back to a base story that relates to another movie. This new IT, I have very high hopes for. The little clips that leaked out from behind the scenes already show The Leper, who was in the book but never in the original movie. The problem so far with all of the Stephen King adaptations is that he puts so much amazing, imaginative detail in the stories, that most studios don't want to front the money to make real on screen. So far it seems that they are fronting the money on this one. Hopefully we get four hours of solid, brutal, R rated filth. Its really what the first one should have been, and could have been had it not been shot for TV.
We also need to remember as a whole, that Pennywise was one of MANY forms IT took in the book. It was the most memorable, but not the only by any means. It preys on your fears and finds a recognizable way to destroy you. I recommend going into this "remake" as though it where its own stand alone film, also, read the book first.
As for the Tower, it calls some and passes by many. But it is by far my favorite story ever written. Its beautiful and grotesque and infatuating all in one. I cant wait to see it on screen in February.
