As if we needed to be more afraid of Jackson Robert Scott, who played the “You’ll float too” kid from It who unfortunately took back his brother’s paper boat from Pennywise on that fateful rainy day. But now he’s back in a different kind of horror. In Nicholas McCarthy‘s (The Pact, At Devil’s Door) The Prodigy, the young actor will play a kid who is going through a very dark turn in his life, and it is up to his mother, played by Orange Is The New Black‘s Taylor Schilling, to figure out what is causing this before the change becomes permanent. Check out the trailer here below.

Orion Pictures has released an official teaser trailer for The Prodigy starring Taylor Schilling, Jackson Robert Scott, and Colm Feore.

Though listed as a teaser trailer, this one is longer than the usual teaser running over two minutes. You can find a little more information on The Prodigy and check out the trailer below.

The first adaptation of Stephen King‘s novel It was a 1990 mini-series starring Tim Curry as the child-eating monster. The ambitious project from director Tommy Lee Wallace tried in vain to fit all 1,100 pages of King’s epic novel into two 2-hour blocks and the results were a mixed bag. The first half is nearly universally beloved thanks to some great child acting and Curry chewing the scenery and stealing nights of sleep as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. The second half focuses on the adults 27 years later returning to stop the evil again and it falters heavily from cheesy overacting and a universally “be-loathed” giant spider ending.

Coincidentally, it’s 27 year later, and Mama director Andy Muschietti took what worked back in 1990 and focused an entire film on it with Stephen King’s IT.
