It: Welcome to Derry is just weeks away from hitting our screens. The new show is a prequel to the two-part film adaptation of Stephen King's iconic novel, and will see Bill Skarsgård reprise his signature role as Pennywise the Clown. Now, director Andy Muschietti and producer Barbara Muschietti have commented on the author's involvement with the new show – and detailed a very specific piece of feedback that he gave them.
Talking in the new issue of SFX magazine, which features It: Welcome to Derry on the cover and hits newsstands on Wednesday, October 8, Barbara described the author as "a big supporter" of the show, saying that "he really loves the movies." The duo made sure to keep the legendary writer up-to-date with everything that was happening on the project as they continued to work on it. "He gives us a lot of rope, and he's actually very enthusiastic whenever we show him new characters or new stories. He's been amazing," Muschietti continued. "It's just truly a pleasure."
