The original book, and first adaptation flashes between the members of the Loser's Club confronting Pennywise as children in 1950's Derry, and 'present time' as adults; approximately thirty years later, when the entity reawakens/resurfaces. The original novel was published in 1986, and the mini-series aired in 1990.
In the upcoming film, the backdrop for the Loser's Club's childhood confrontations with the clown is 1980's Derry. Make of that what you will.
The 80's are the new 50's, apparently.
I'm not thrilled about this. Curry was the perfect Pennywise. The TV series already did a good and faithful adaptation of the book. I'm getting tired of remakes of movies that don't need remaking.
