A deleted gag scene from 'It' shows a hilarious alternate opening for the movie

Thriller "It" was released on Blu-ray and DVD January 9.The movie contains several deleted and extended scenes which have started appearing online.A gag scene shows an alternate opening for the movie where the young boy Georgie survives his encounter with Pennywise, something that would have defeated the entire point of the movie.Actor Bill Skarsgard, who plays the clown, has said he was afraid he traumatized the kid actors on set, so it's cool to see a lighter scene like this from behind the scenes.What would have happened if Pennywise the Clown never succeeded in kidnapping Georgie at the start of Stephen King's "It"'The movie would have been a lot shorter.Since the film's Blu-ray release January 9, some of the movie's deleted scenes have been finding their way online. One of the best is a short gag scene which shows an alternate opening to Warner Bros.' thriller.In the original story, Georgie plays with a paper boat ' the S.S. Georgie ' on a rainy day. The boat falls into a storm drain, believed to be gone forever. When a curious Georgie pops his head into the drain, he meets Pennywise ' Derry, Maine's resident demon clown.The actual movie shows Georgie get his arm ripped off and pulled into the sewer, never to be seen again.The gag scene flips the scene on its head.Georgie gets the boat back, bids the clown a swift farewell, and, we presume, gets home safely.What we didn't expect was the immediate cut to a defeated Pennywise proclaiming "Ah, sh--" with a goofy look on his face.It's hilarious not only because of the nature of the scene, but because it's a gag scene you wouldn't expect to find on a scary movie.It is nice to see the film did gag scenes like this since actor Bill Skarsgard, who plays Pennywise, said he was scared he traumatized the kids with his performance. This probably made it easier for the young actors to be around Skarsgard a little on set.Watch the video below.The people who made IT (2017) actually made a joke version of the Pennywise/Georgie scene. I don't think I've ever heard of a film doing a joke version of a scene and actually keeping it as a deleted scene. pic.twitter.com/RQhoHhFwiU' Michael Edwards (@MEdwardsVA) January 15, 2018Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: An exercise scientist reveals exactly how long you need to work out to get in great shape
