[[WMG: The remake will have some {{Deconstruction}}/RealityEnsues and {{Reconstruction}}]]
Namely, it will address the fact that to a cosmic, older-than-time, man-eating EldritchAbomination is not threatened by ''a bunch of small children'', and the movie will find a way to make his defeat more plausible. Then, in part 2, we'll see that the kids spent some time [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]] and learning more about the supernatural, maybe even becoming full-on monster hunters, in preparation for the inevitable return of Pennywise.

[[WMG: The Turtle will be in the movie]]
Due to the fact the movie will be based more on the book, it is very likely that ol' Maturin himself will make an appearance, an element the miniseries neglected to have.

It's coming out later in the same year, and in the wake of ''SpidermanHomecoming'' Warner and Columbia studios are probably more open to the idea of sharing a franchise.

By revealing that one of the Losers is gay as well, they avoid both problems. They can still have Pennywise's first victim be a gay man, but since he not the only gay character in the movie (and said other gay character is one of the heroes, to boot) they can avoid the worst accusations of UnfortunateImplications. It would also help emphasize the "outsider" aspect of the Losers Club by having one of the members being bullied for their sexual orientation (in addition to how the others are bullied for their race, class, weight, religion, etc)The most likely possibility would be Richie Tozier. Bill, Stanley and Eddie are all married, while Ben gets with Beverly in the end.

[[WMG: One of the Losers will be gay]]
Pennywise's first victim in the modern era is a gay man out with his boyfriend, which may present the following issues for the creators:
* If they adapt the sequence as is, they'll be accused of BuryYourGays
* If they make the couple straight, they'll be accused of erasure
* If they replace it with a completely different event, they'll still be accused of erasure
