Rated R.
Actually, the plan is for a pair of full-length movies. And given that movies have been getting longer in recent years, it seems it may actually give the story more room to breathe than the 1991 series did. Seriously, the 1991 miniseries was three hours long, just 90 minutes per part, and, of course, the content restrictions for today's theatre screens are a lot more lenient than those for network television decades ago. As long as they don't bollocks the whole thing up somehow (especially if Part 2 never gets made), there is no reason it doesn't have the potential to be a great adaptation that could potentially better the miniseries in some categories.
And while it's unfortunate that Tim Curry didn't reprise his role as Pennywise, well, given that he's been wheelchair bound for the past few years, it's not like he's in any condition to step back into the old clown suit. It would be like Frank Sinatra being offered the role of John McClane.
That said, Tim Curry did sometimes get a bit too campy for his own good in character:

lol, this looked to me as "Brexit The Movie"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Looks like it might not be a disaster.

There's this new movie coming out "The Good Catholic"
You know Catholics are up to something with this movie. I really take my hat off to them (if I wore one) because they are really showing with this movie that Catholics are human beings like anyone else. We see it's about young priest who suddenly has a crush on someone. Is it maybe the altar boy? No. It's your regular flesh and blood woman! Ha! In your face cynics! Catholic priests are like any other men in that they also have heart's desires for grown up people of the opposite sex. So we literally dip in in this hour and a half of this anguish: will he choose to be with a woman or rather chose to serve invisible man in the sky? I mean oh my god! I'm already on the edge of my seat and if you're not, then really, call ER to check if you have a heartbeat.
Plus there are these two other characters of a funny monk, who at the first glance with it's cigarette smoking and loose language quite frankly makes you wonder "Is this guy on the right path, let alone a real Catholic monk?" I mean am I right? But at the end of a movie you'll gain a great respect toward this guy when the priest comes full torturous cycle that his human nature will put him trough by having this unmentionable desires toward a woman, you'll see this monk reveal his trough colors and strength and bring priest on the right path, making priest behave more like that monk.
And of course the other character is an older priest played by Donald Glover. You see him as a kind of old school catholic who doesn't quite understand jokes of younger people about The Beatles, but you know you'll just fall in love with this guy instantly, because he's black and not just that black guys can be cuddly, but also because he probably went trough unimaginative shitstorms and yet he choose this calling of love toward everybody. He endured the devil white people can only dream.
I just can't wait when at the end of this franchise we'll see our priest from this movie becoming a pope. Then they'll make me feel respect of that man under that white robe and what sacrifices and tortures he had to go trough for his passion of serving invisible man in the firmament.

That reminds me, I still think Half Life the movie would be epic.
