It’s apt that big screen adaptations of both It and The Dark Tower should be released months apart because the books have a tenuous connection.

Pennywise is a demonic entity from the Macroverse, where Maturin (aka The Turtle) also resides. The Turtle is one of the guardians of the Beams that support the Dark Tower as well as Pennywise’s long-time nemesis. In It, he advises Bill Denbrough on how to defeat the creature.

Another resident of the Macroverse is The Other, who Pennywise/It claims is the dimension’s superior being even though The Turtle is said to have vomited out our universe when it had an upset stomach.

Will the films clear this up once and for all? Watch this space.
