Clip of Stephen King adaptation shown at SXSW, leaves audience screaming – description

Along with premiering The Disaster Artist, Song to Song, and Atomic Blonde, SXSW Film Festival has debuted the first trailer for Andrés Muschietti’s adaptation of Stephen King’s It. While no footage of Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise speaking was shown, audiences were introduced to each member of the Loser’s Club.

Thanks to Bloody Disgusting, who were in attendance, a description of the trailer has emerged, and it sounds as terrifying as expected.

“The trailer opens with footage of Bill Denbrough making a paper boat for his little brother Georgie. We then move outside, where Georgie is chasing his boat in a rainstorm as it floats next to the curb,” the description reads. “Suddenly, Georgie runs right into a street barrier, which knocks him down on the ground. He then watches as his boat sails into a gutter. He runs to the gutter and tries to see if he can see his boat. As he looks deep into the sewers, Pennywise abruptly appears before the screen cuts to black.”
