RELATED: MORTAL KOMBAT Officially Rated R for Strong Bloody Violence & More For the record, back in 2017, the first trailer for IT smashed the global 24-hour record with 197M views. The recent trailer is now the biggest red band trailer of all-time. From the get-go, Todd Garner, my Atomic Monster team and I, were excited and gung-ho about creating a new, updated version with today’s filmmaking technology whilst being respectful to the fantasy tone, violent action, and gore of the game that fans have come to love and, at the same time, bring these vivid characters and stories back to the big screen in a modern, exciting way for a whole new generation who may not be as familiar with the films as we were growing up.” As a fan myself of the games and movies, I, too, wanted to see another theatrical version of this, and felt it was time again to revisit this IP that has been kept relevant in the game world but not as much in the feature world. Wan recently revealed why now is the time for a reboot, saying: “It’s been over 25 years since the first feature film came out, and fans have been pretty vocal asking for another big-screen entry. It’s for strong bloody violence and language throughout and some crude references.

The MPAA recently slapped the flick with an unsurprising R-rating. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, written by Patrick Aison, and produced by John Davis, Jhane Myers, and Marty Ewing, with Lawrence Gordon, Ben Rosenblatt, James E.
