My love for films started pretty early in life. I grew up in

Buenos Aires in the 1970s, and my parents used to sneak

my sister and me into the drive-in whenever they could.

The night that they took me to watch Steven Spielbergs

Close Encounters of the Third Kind , something magical

happened in me. I cant think of a stronger imprinting

event when I think back to the movies that affected my

life; I knew at that moment that I wanted to be involved

in movies. Still, it would take me years to rationalize

and understand all the processes that took place before

a movie was madeall the arts and crafts involved in

creating the magic before the magic happened.

My mom made me an artist the day that she let three-

year-old me paint on the walls of the kitchen, with no

restrictions. My dad made me a film lover by retelling to

me all the movies he wasnt able to take me to. Stephen

King taught me how to tell a storyhow to love your

characters and how to immerse an audience into a world

of emotions.

For me, adapting IT for the big screen was not only

about translating the emotional experience I had reading

the book for the first time at fourteen years old, but also

making it into a movie that I would enjoy watching as

an adult. After the script was written, it was all about

expressing with images that vast range of emotions.

Thats the beginning of an exciting journey. The journey

of visualizing the movie before you shoot it.

Just like how the Losers became strong against evil by

believing in the same idea, a film crew conquers chaos

when empowered by unified belief. Theres probably not

a cultural expression that combines as many different

arts and crafts as filmmaking, and when theres faith

and passion, you can see it on the screen. Production

designers, art directors, set decorators, props masters,

concept artists, storyboarders, costume designers, paint-

ers, carpenters, constructors, and cinematographers (and

their crews) act upon a singular imaginary premise and

conspire to create an illusion that has the sole purpose of

making the audience believe.

In this book you will see some of the storyboards,

sketches, and concepts I drew for the movie. For me,

being able to draw is an incredible privilege, a priceless

tool to communicate with the crew and show them my

vision of the film. Very often my sketches are reinter-

preted by more skilled artists, and then I give my notes

on them. Its a beautiful game of mutual inspiration and

collaboration that elevates the creativity to higher levels.

The World of IT is a love letter to all those extraordi-

nary artists and technicians that contributed to making

this dream come true, but its also a piece of art in its

own rightcreated for the fans of these movies so they

can appreciate the processes behind the visual and cre-

ative aspects, and understand them through a different

perspective.

As a filmmaker its an immense joy to finally show

the secrets behind the film. As a film lover I couldnt be

more excited because I know how much fun it is to know

everything about the films you love.

So, Believe! And enjoy the magic before the magic.

Andy Muschietti

foreword

opposite Director Andy Muschietti is haunted by the specter

of Pennywise.

above One of Andys early concept sketches for Pennywise

When Warner Bros. decided to adapt Stephen Kings

coming-of-age horror novel IT for the big screen, it was

a huge, carefully planned project that took nearly a

decade to complete. The studio chose Andy Muschietti

to direct in July 2015. Andy came to the project with a

knowledgeable producing partnerhis sister, Barbara

and experience working with children in a horror

setting, a key aspect of IT s narrative.

The Muschiettis were an unexpected choice, as they

had only one English-language feature to their credit,

2013s Mama . Based on their 2008 short of the same

name, Mama tells the story of a pair of young sisters

who were found living by themselves deep in the forest

after a family tragedy left them orphaned. They are

taken in by their uncle and his girlfriend, who soon

discover that the terrifying supernatural spirit that

cared for them in the forest has followed them to their

new home.

Genre luminary Guillermo del Toro came on to Mama

as an executive producer. An Academy Award

nominee

for Pans Labyrinth , del Toro saw the earlier version of

Mama and was instantly impressed with how genuine

the short felt. It was very, very smart. Very, very coher-

ent. My reaction was [...] if it scares me, it should scare

somebody else. He reached out to Andy and developed the

screenplay for Mama with him and Barbara.

The Muschiettis watched every horror movie they

could as kids. They were also ravenous Stephen King

fans, with Andy stating that King was his favorite author
