Fairly standard behind-the-scenes movie book, but with really nice production value. I love that they included a tear-out version of the "January embers" postcard. (Which I will of course not be tearing out...what am I, some kind of animal?!)

I wish the interviews had been a little more...let's say dynamic, and that there was more info on the casting process, because damn, the casting for these movies was good. The focus is mostly on set and character design, however. Not my primary area of interest, but hey--it may be yours!

I am somewhat trying to pretend that I didn't just buy this because I am in love with Richie Tozier/Bill Hader right now, but tbh: I bought it because I am in love with Richie Tozier and Bill Hader right now.

This book is a wonderfully immersive and deep look into the writing, storyboarding, casting, visual affects, and filming of It Chapter 1 and It Chapter 2. It's an excellent read for fans of the films, especially those with an interest in acting or filmmaking.
I definitely recommend picking it up!

Si has leído la ya muy conocida de Stephen King o incluso si no lo has hecho, este libro te llevará a las profundidades del mundo de la criatura que hace mucho más que asustar a sus víctimas.

Ten cuidado de leer este libro antes de ver las películas, ya que hay muchos spoilers, así como guiones, gráficos, arte y fotos.

Me encanta It de Stephen King y me encanta la adaptación de Andy Muschietti en forma de película (aunque la segunda no me helo tanto los huesos como la primera). Entonces, cuando supe que se lanzaría este libro, supe que tenía que ser mío y ahora que lo tengo me encanta (gracias a hubby por el regalo de cumpleaños).

Por supuesto, hay mucho enfoque en Pennywise y hay algunas fotos que muestran cómo se construyó el maquillaje y una mirada a sus dentaduras postizas. Al ver cómo los jóvenes actores e incluso el director no podían ver al payaso antes de filmar, se aseguraron de que todos saltaran cuando apareció por primera vez. Hay una bonita foto de Bill Skarsgȃrd conversando con Jackson Robert Scott entre tomas que es tan invaluable como cualquier momento aterrador.

Si te gustaron las películas, este libro será tu nuevo mejor amigo. Tiene montón de fotos detrás de escena, guiones gráficos, bocetos... Todo lo que puedas desear y más.

Es muy genial ver el proceso de creativo de esta película desde la preproducción, la filmación y la postproducción. Amo este tipo de libros, espero que nunca dejen de hacerlos.

Este es un gran libro y si te gustaron las películas, querrás tener esta en tu colección, ya que cumple todos los requisitos para mostrar qué y cómo se filmó todo. Y cómo no, es perfecto para ser un libro de mesa aunque ahuyente a tus visitas.

If you are that person that stays in your seats in the theatre to read the credits - this is the book for you.

If you’re a fan of Stephen King - this is the book for you.

If you love Pennywise - this is the book for you.

Pennywise feeds on your fears, and once you let go of your fears - you are free.

Very cool book companion to the movies with some neat concept art. I did really wish the book had more text that went into more depth about the journey of making the films, how they adapted the book, the actor's process with the characters, etc. Most the information I already knew and you would know if you watched the movies. All the same, it was a lovely book.
