He continued: “And the other is a dream, where Bill [one of The Losers Club] sees, he's leaning on a bridge, in Derry, and he's spitting on the Kenduskeag Stream, and suddenly he sees the reflection of a balloon.
“And he looks up and it's not one balloon, but a bunch of balloons, and then he starts to see body parts, and the shot goes wider and it's a multitude of dead kids floating. I couldn't afford it.”
The director’s sister Barbara, who is a producer on the movie, added: ”They were able to (incorporate it into the script), but they were not able to incorporate it into the budget.
“Just like we weren't able to, but it's going on the second...that sequence with the Black Spot, we think it's gonna be a great opening for the next film.”
Stephen King's IT will be in two parts
The scene saw Pennywise in the woods waving with a child’s hand whilst eating it.
IT will be released on September 8, 2017.
