2017 is Horrorfast on its way to being a very, very good year for Stephen King fans.
SEE ALSO: This 1979 Stephen King novel is a chilling prediction of Donald Trump's riseWe've already got the long-awaited adaptation of The Dark Towercoming this summer, and now we also have our first teaser trailer for Andrés Muschietti's Itremake to get excited about.
And what's the point in having a teaser if you can't obsessively break it down, frame-by-frame?
In a cathartic effort to forget about the 5+ months we have to wait before the film's actually released, we've been through the new trailer and compared it with scenes from the original 1990 miniseries.
The first 45 seconds of the trailer consists of an almost shot-for-shot remake of what is probably the most iconic sequence from the original: Georgie Denbrough dressed in his little yellow raincoat, sailing a paper boat down the gutter to his inevitable, clown-shaped doom.
You can see the similarities in the shots below:

Via Giphy...While 2017 Georgie runs face-first into the thing.
The opening sequence ends with the iconic storm drain scene. The shots are mirrored, but apart from that it's near enough identical.
Via GiphyVia GiphyTo be fair, Muschietti has clearly done this on purpose. The sequence with Georgie's paper boat is so damn memorable -- both in the book and the miniseries -- that tampering with it too much would just feel wrong.
The Losers' Club of 2017 looks fairly similar to how it looked in 1990. Beverly Marsh (played by Sophia Lillis) has a shorter hairdo and Richie Tozier looks a bit different too (he's now played by Finn Wolfard of Stranger Thingsfame), but aside from that they're all pretty much the same.

Unlike the opening with Georgie and his boat, though, this sequence has a few more notable differences to the original.

Bill Skarsgård's 2017 Pennywise, meanwhile, appears to be all horror.
