The story’s narrative is not linear, dipping back and forth between the past and the present, from the 1950s and 1980s. The first movie was set in 1989 where Batman and Lethal Weapon 2 were playing in the local theater. The novel is set in two different time periods: 85, where the characters are shown growing up in and out of Derry, Maine. In the novel, the turtle is the one that informs Bill Denbrough how to defeat Pennywise, his sworn nemesis. The only mentions of the turtle are to a Lego in Georgie’s room, the barrens, and in the waters. While the book featured Maturin the Turtle, a very important character to the mythos of Stephen King’s universe, he was nowhere to be seen in the screen versions. Fans of Steven King’s novel It (1986) and the movies It (2017) and It, Chapter 2 (2019), and even the mini-series of Steven King’s It (1990) noticed that there were many differences between the book and the screen versions. ![]()
