The original 1990 'It' movie has a set story arc and a certain tone. Fanfiction, on the other hand, can change the tone completely. It could be darker or even have comical elements added to it. Also, the characters in the movie have their defined personalities, but in fanfiction, they can be developed in new directions. The relationships between them can be altered, like making two characters who were just friends in the movie become enemies in the fanfiction. And the fanfiction might give more backstory to Pennywise that was not shown in the movie.
