Do you want to float? Follow Pennywise the Dancing Clown down the drain and into the deadlights. Beware, the story you know is about to change.
Near the intersection of Witcham and Jackson, Georgie Denbrough’s young life came to a violent and tragic end, but what if he had escaped death?
Creepy Kingdom has announced a campaign to explore that possibility in Georgie, the unofficial sequel to the 1990 IT miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. Tony Dakota will reprise his 1990 role as Georgie Denbrough in what will be his first foray into acting in 25 years.
This alternate reality of the cult classic and recent 2017 blockbuster remake has us tickled with anticipation and curiosity.
- What if Pennywise hadn’t killed Georgie after all?
- What if Georgie had somehow not just escaped death, but managed to live some semblance of a normal life in the not-so-normal town of Derry?
- What might his world look like? Or that of the Denbrough family?
- Would this horrific experience color their view of the universe?| Like many of the themes in Stephen King’s IT, what role do grief, memory, and the confronting of our childhood traumas as children play here?
- Georgie promises to be a snapshot of this very scenario – an experiment in fantastical reinventions – and we can’t wait to revisit Derry and hopefully catch a glimpse of the Losers Club.
Produced and co-written by John Campopiano (Unearthed & Untold, 2017) and directed and co-written by Ryan Grulich (Foolish Mortals, 2017).
