It Chapter Two Book to Movie Differences
The Key Differences Between It Chapter Two and the Book
2
In the book, Bill grows up to be a writer, Beverly is a fashion designer, Richie is a radio DJ, Mike is the Derry town librarian, Stan is an accountant, Eddie is a limo driver, and Ben is an architect. Except for Mike, all of the Losers have grown up to be extremely successful in their chosen professions.
In the film, however, Richie is a standup comedian — which makes sense given the updated time period — and Eddie is a risk-assessment analyst. The change to Eddie's job is especially fitting given how a large part of Eddie's characterization in both films is his extreme hypochondria, and his constant cautioning of his friends away from what he perceives to be risky situations.
