The book and miniseries opens with poor little Georgie's demise and then jumps ahead to the modern day.
Since the opening of the first movie used the storm drain scene the second one will have to find a new starting point. They may use a flashback from the first movie, or start at the adult characters being called back.
In the miniseries a kid disappears and Mike is sparked to call his friends to come back. In the book a hate crime against a gay couple takes place during a town fair. These could work as starting points easily enough, but I'd kind of expect another dynamic scene to open it.
There was talk of a deleted scene from the first movie of Pennywise, in a closer to human form, is scene stealing a baby from a village (Derry) in the colonial era. I could certainly see that being brought back.
But in terms of something from the book, I'd like the idea of the story of the Black Spot night club attack that Mike's grandfather tells him. It would establish the history, and that Mike is the investigator of the group and the one that calls them all back. The question then is whether this would this be Mike as a kid or an adult.
I could see them going another way, but I think a scene that gives us a background of Pennywise beyond just their experience would work well.
