Spotlight
It: Chapter One
Cast: Jaeden Lieberher, Bill Skarsgard
Director: Andy Muschietti
Tagline: It takes many forms.
Horror; a group of bullied kids fight against a shape-shifting demon (Skarsgard) responsible for the disappearance of children in their town.
Is based on the 1986 Stephen King novel It, which was previously adapted into a 1990 television miniseries.
Had a budget of $35 million; has made $370 million in around a week.
Has received positive reviews from critics, earning praise for its story, scares, and cast, especially Skarsgard.
Before Bill Skarsgard was given the titular role, Tim Curry turned down the chance to reprise the part; Ben Mendelsohn passed on the role because of salary demands; and Will Poulter had to leave the part because of scheduling conflicts with Detroit (2017).
Score composed by Benjamin Wallfisch.
