It's a remake, it's horror, therefore it's gonna be awful. No hope.

When your a fan of the book then you know your going to almost certainly be setting yourself up for disappointment if you go watch the film and as a fan of the book I know this adaptation will disappoint. That being said I will still go watch it (no pun intended).
Unfortunately, this Pennywise will never be as scary or charismatic as Curry's Pennywise (the 1st half of IT anyway) but I'm still very interested in this remake. Horror films of today are pretty poor IMO, we've had vampires and zombies make a comeback, now it's time for clowns to scare the crap out of people again!
I just hope it won't be a PG13 snoozefest, Curry's was only a 15 in the UK and it was the scariest thing I saw as a kid (but I didn't see the 2nd half until a few years after the 1st, the ending was almost a comedy)

I read the book and saw the movie, and stop your hating on William Thomas and John Ritter
This was an incredible novel that died of Kingitis. Kingitis - when Stephen King would tank the endings to well written masterpieces. The endings blew in IT, The Stand, Tommyknockers, Desperation, and I wouldnt be surprised if the ending blows in Under The Dome (havent read it, but watch it, and I can see his tendencies there too).
How bad was the ending to the novel IT? The tv movies ending was better. This remake will fail because theyre screwing with the good parts already before theyve even started filming.

Just on Tongo's 'kingitis' comment, how much creative control or input does King have with adaptations?
I dont remember if I watched the original. I read the book which was pretty creepy but I cant remember the movie.

the kids look like they're going to be better in this remake, but not sure about Pennywise.

To be honest, I never thought the original was that great. But I have a good feeling about this one.
