Stephen King's It could have turned out a hell of a lot more disturbing with the addition of a deleted scene that involves Pennywise The Clown eating a baby. Seriously... this is pretty jacked up and you can read all the details of the scene below.
Bill Skarsgård previously teased the scene while appearing on Variety’s “Playback” podcast and he described it as being “really, really disturbing.”
“There was a scene we shot that was a flashback from the 1600s, before Pennywise [was Pennywise]. The scene turned out really, really disturbing. And I’m not the clown. I look more like myself. It’s very disturbing, and sort of a backstory for what It is, or where Pennywise came from.”
If you want to read the scene in its entirety, Bloody-Disgusting ended up finding it on Reddit. It's legit as it was confirmed by actor Timothy Simons, who auditioned for the role of Pennywise.

If the summer blockbuster season fell far short of expectations – King Arthur, Valerian, Baywatch and The Mummy all struggled to leave much of an impression – then Warner Bros. and New Line jolted Hollywood’s box office back to life through the release of It.
Lauded with praise from the get-go, the Andy Muschietti-directed adaptation has since achieved box office glory, and recently knocked The Exorcist off its perch to become the highest-grossing horror pic in film history with a domestic haul of $308 million and counting. Not bad for an R-rated genre movie with little-to-no notable stars, eh?
As good as the film was though, we’ve heard several times now that there was quite a bit left on the cutting room floor that had to be removed, for whatever reason. While a director’s cut is said to be in the works for the home video release, there’s...

The film is playing April 30 - May 30, 2017 in most countries around the world.How does a person change little by little throughout a year? And how is one’s life shaped by the trivial things and subtle moments that one experiences?

In an age of public lives and ubiquitous cameras ready to capture every moment of them, writer-director Hitoshi One’s Scoop! may not be terribly original, but it is an engaging and resonant low-key drama about an aging paparazzo trying to reinvent himself and stay relevant as his skill set becomes obsolete. Based on Masato Harada’s 1985 feature, Out of Focus, Scoop! manages to balance the crude humor of its main character, a larger story about a shifting media landscape and elements of a thriller.

If we’re reading correctly into what Game of Thrones‘ Liam Cunningham is saying, the HBO drama’s upcoming sixth season will peel back quite a few of the Onion Knight’s many layers.
That said, the actor — who plays the aforementioned Ser Davos (aka Stannis’ wise counsel/moral compass) — excels at parceling out information in a way that must delight the spoiler-averse premium cable channel at the same time it frustrates fans and journalists hungry for spoilers: He is somehow good-natured and chatty yet shrewdly secretive, all at the same time.

With the presidential campaign winding up in, oh, a little more than a year, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” polled a group of citizens on Thursday night who are seldom heard from on political matters: Children. During a segment titled “Kimmel Kids: Out of Focus Group,” host Jimmy Kimmel gathered a group of tots and showed them pictures of the current candidates in search of opinions. The responses were shocking. Shown a photo of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, the debate was fierce. Two of the children noted that she has been called “very nice” and “very sharing.” See video: Jimmy Kimmel Tricks Hillary Clinton.
