Newly released photo of Pennywise from the Stephen King's IT Remake.
Thoughts?
I don't hate it like everyone else does, but I'm not crazy about it. I'll have to see a full shot of the costume with decent lightning before I can say one way or the other.
>>71963568
Not much to comment on but it doesn't look good.
Do you think they will include the girl getting banged by all the boys while they are in the sewer?
>>71963643
Yeah, I'm just glad they didn't make him look doofy or try really hard to make him scary. Plain, clean, and simple.
>>71963568
Who plays Pennywise? Tried IMDB already
Pennywise should look like a normal clown, but creepy at the same time. That red eyeliner drooping shit is too much. Pennywise doesn't need to look like a member of ICP.
>>71963715
If they don't, we riot.
>>71963747
Bill Skarsgård
>>71963568
>WWE Studios
Into the trash it goes
DERRY'S GONNA FREAK
>>71963747
Bill Skarsgard, he's in Penny Dreadful.
>>71963568
Its gonna be really hard to do the book justice
Its really fucking long for one and with a bunch of plot points that would be difficult to impossible to properly convey on the screen
>>71963568
i reject that image
couldn't resist another one
Should have Tim Curry reprise the role. He can be a stroked out clown in a wheelchair. Way scarier.
>>71963568
They'll do some crazy CG teeth and everything will look fine. I fear the movie will still suck though. All we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best really.
>>71963996
>cg teeth
>pg 13
>wwe studios
better cross em real fucking hard
So far, everything about this new movie is dissolving my hope bit by bit. Director, cast, time period shift (not entirely egregious but I'm remaining skeptical). If that one image is a reflection of the flick's tone, and I sincerely hope it isn't, it will be fucking terrible.
Which may end up a blessing in disguise, as it guarantees no Shining remake. Just imagine how bad THAT would be.
From what I can remember from the book Pennywise wasn't actually in it that much. Most times when IT made an appearance IT took the form of whatever was the most horrifying thing ITs current prey could think off. Drowned kids, leper hobos, giant monster birds or whatever. The old TV show I assumed put the emphasis on the clown because it was easy and cheap but I was kinda hoping the new show would stay truer to the book.
>>71964043
T-they wouldn't try to remake a Kubrick film...
Would they?
>>71964043
shining remake would go to fincher or nolan i bet
does
it
float
?
I expected nothing and I still got disappointed
>>71964097
There already was a TV movie remake of The Shining in the late 90s which was more directly adapted from the book and it was bloody awful.
>>71964105
>nolan
I can see the documentary now. Room 4U. Starring a bunch of fatasses in fedoras pointing out hidden memes.
Cool graphics card box render
>>71963568
>thoughts?
How true to the book will the underground sewer child gangbang be?
>>71964212
They better pick a qt actress for Beverly
>>71964250
>They better pick a qt actress for Beverly
get with the times friend
>>71964097
Hollywood doesn't give a dickfart about legacy or precedence. Ticket sales are down, and they'll exploit any IP they can get their merchant claws around. People reference The Shining to this day, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some CGI fecal facsimile of Kubrick's version.
>>71964105
I doubt they'd even do it if offered, those two have some remaining shred of dignity. But shit, imagine a director the caliber of Snyder taking it on. Mmm, I can almost taste the shit-scented schlock already!
What do you want?’ he asks her.
‘You have to put your thing in me,’ she says.
[…]
There’s a moment when her father’s face intervenes, harsh and forbidding
[…]
‘Bevvie, I’ll fall on you!’ he says, and she hears his breath start to whistle painfully.
‘I think that’s sort of the idea,’ she tells him and holds him gently and guides him. He
pushes forward too fast and there is pain.
[…]
She senses that this is something for him, something extraordinarily, special,
something like . . . like flying. She feels powerful: she feels a sense of triumph rise up strongly
within her. Is this what her father was afraid of? Well he might be! There was power in this
act, all right, a chain-breaking power that was blood-deep
[…]
Mike comes to her, then Richie, and the act is repeated. Now she feels some pleasure, dim
heat in her childish unmatured sex, and she closes her eyes as Stan comes to her and she
thinks of the birds, spring and the birds, and she sees them, again and again, all lighting at
once, filling up the winter-naked trees
[…]
>>71964399
‘Beverly, don’t — ‘
‘Yes.’
‘Show me how to fly,’ she says with a calmness she doesn’t feel, aware by the fresh wetwarmth on her cheek and neck that he has begun to cry. ‘Show me, Ben.’
‘No . . . ‘
‘If you wrote the poem, show me. Feel my hair if you want to, Ben. It’s all right.’
‘Beverly . . . I . . . I . . . ‘
He’s not just trembling now; he’s shaking all over. But she senses again that this ague is
not all fear — part of it is the precursor of the throe this act is all about.
[…]
Bill comes to her.
He tries to say something, but his stutter is almost total now.
‘You be quiet,’ she says, secure in her new knowledge, but aware that she is tired now.
Tired and damned sore. The insides and backs of her thighs feel sticky, and she thinks it’s
maybe because Ben actually finished, or maybe because she is bleeding. ‘Everything is going
to be totally okay.’
[…]
She is aware of a dull throbbing pain of which
they, being male, will never know, aware also of a certain exhausted pleasure and the relief of having it over.
What did he mean by this?
>>71964032
FUCK. I didn't know this. Should just make Pennywise a fucking chick while they're at it.
Aren't they getting multiple actors this time? The Ma Ma fag is playing the leper.
>>71964441
Stephan Kang is a creepy weirdo sex pervert
>>71964737
He's a cunny cconnoisseur
>>71964032
WWE made Oculus, which wasn't bad.
>>71964824

>>71964032
it's confirmed rated R m8
>>71965221
Would be funny, but you and I both know it will be Hornswoggle
>>71965278
this look rated r to you?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT6mpyXOraI
>>71963568
Looks dumb. I wouldn't engage in creepy pedo gangbang to defeat this creature.
>>71965388
but would you just for fun?
>>71963815
What, no he was in Hemlock Grove.
>>71965221
Just read up on this movie.
So the reason everyone left was because they wanted the movie to be nc-17? I understand to adapt the book 1:1 would require that rating but nc-17 would make the movie a instant financial failure
>>71965631
in the end it will be pg13 and at some point this song will play
www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrxePKps87k
That thing's name is Pennywise? Like the gas station?
>>71965756
no like the punk band
>>71965433
No, it was Penny Dreadful. He played Fenrir.
>>71964824
That movie would've been so much better with a different ending. Like, the crack that was made in the mirror when they were kids, I kinda thought that was there to setup that the mirror was vulnerable when it was trying to suck people in. So one of the siblings sacrifices themself to the mirror so the other can be free. Great. Instead it's just a shit, lol everything sucks ending
>>71965774
The Punk band named them selves after IT.
HBO or netflix should have done IT. Book is too long for movie, tv show would work much better, i know they are making 2 but still
>>71966003
>tv show
horrible idea.
>>71965872
Bill Skarskard was not in Penny Dreadful. It was Hemlock Grove.
>>71965947
after what?
>>71963568
>We will never see the version directed by cary fukunigga
>>71966059
After Pennywise...
From IT.
>>71966071
I was pretty damn excited for it when that was announced originally.
I'm still willing to give it a chance, but I don't have much faith in the project now.
Steven King is overrated as fuck. That said, I cant wait to see an even dumber looking giant spider this time with bad CGI
Shit
The original clown was betrer
>>71965278
Rated R Superstar
Kefka?
>>71965756
Robert Gray
>>71966122
I like a lot of his stuff personally.
IT, The Shining, The Stand, Pet Semetary, Salem's Lot, etc.
>>71966186
Eric Draven?
>>71966081
from what?
>>71966054
He was the vamp kid they glued to the wall
Clowns scare the shit out of everyone.
Let's make the clown not look like a real clown.
>>71963568
Looks like a video game character. Yawn.
>>71965756
>>71966201
>Randall Flagg
>>71964441
Haven't read that in thirty years, and I'm still cringing hard enough to shit a cue ball.
>>71966237
From IT.
why don't they just get Tim Curry back?
>>71966341
I'm cringing hard too. Rock hard.
>>71966269
I don't know what to tell you, man. Bill wasn't in Penny Dreadful. It's not listed anywhere, and you can't find it anywhere through Google.
Maybe if you knew the exact episode you're referring to, we could look up the actor.
>>71966373
>huya thorpie
>>71966328
Randall Flag was a different entity/man though.
>>71966453
There all the same dude, bro
>>71966363
from what?
>It is a Sith
>>71964097
They haven't done that, yet? That's pretty surprising.
>>71966764
They're not though.
Randall Flagg is basically an immortal wizard that's been in multiple books as different men, usually with the initials RF.
Pennywise The Dancing Clown/Bob Gray/IT was only in two. A cameo in The Tommyknockers and IT.
The creature known as IT is dead.
Randall Flagg(Or any of his other multiple names) is always out there.
WOOP WOOP
>>71963568
WHY SO SINISTER?
I just wish someone would accept a non-blockbuster crack at a long, slow-burning film (2 parts), either hard R or unrated, with tons of lore and backstory. it could be done, and it would be critically successful.
But people would rather see le evil scary clown with jumpscares and fast cuts. Makes me mad, King is kind of a hack but It is a great story.
>>71963568
3edgy5me
>>71967132
No, Flagg was killed and eaten by Mordred.
>>71963568
Fucking terrible. They're trying too hard to make him look sinister. Dropped
>>71963568
>>71966186
Literally me.
>>71967132
This guy knows, also dandelo is another entity out there.. maybe pennywises cosmic cousin?
>>71967455
He also died at then end of the stand and came back after that
>>71964250
they did
Meet you're new waifu.
>>71967733
But he didn't die, he just got blasted by a nuke and later woke up with some niggers worshipping him. Mordred actually killed him.
>>71967709
Who should play Dandelo? Some real stand up comedian?
>>71963568
looks like shit, tim curry was eerie and comical in a way that balanced out perfectly. this looks like something from a shitty haunted attraction
>>71963568
Where is his fake nose?
>>71967758
My understanding is that Flagg always gets reincarnated.
You could be right though.
>>71967241
faggot
>>71966237
>>71966363
for some reason this popped in my head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG_k5CSYKhg
>>71964250
Christina Hendricks or Jessica Chastain should play adult bev
>>71967963
Nice.
>>71967132
Pennywise might have been in Dreamcatcher, something spraypainted "Pennywise Lives" on the memorial where the old standpipe stood.
>>71966046
a 10 or 12 hour miniseries (ala Band of Brothers and 11/22/63) would be perfect for King's epics like IT and The Stand
>>71967997
Or Bryce Dallas Howard.
Your choices are great though.
>>71968012
Yeah, I remember that.
Dreamcatcher is one of my least favorite of his books though.
My big issue is that there is just so much lore that makes the book so great. The film would almost have to be 2 -3 parts. It would be better as an HBO miniseries or something. They are likely doing the same thing that the TV movie did, which was have one movie for the kids sort of, and one for the adults.
The book had it all interchanged, and my favourite parts were actually the Derry Interludes by Mike Hanlon. Those side stories of the history of strange things in the town really built up the novel for me.
Also if it takes place in modern times, it will have celphones and shit, ruining the idea of when kids would just go out and play. Kids don't just go out and play anymore. Also the racism angle. Why does every adaptation have to be modern?
In the end I'll see it eventually, but I am just going in with no expectations.
>>71968032
This is exactly what I want. I wish they would do this so bad.
>>71963568
Looks like capeshit.
>>71968157
>capeshit
What does that even mean in this context?
>>71968123
Actually, I guess the kids part would instead be during the 80s, so I guess the cellphone shit won't come into play. If they do the every 30 years thing.
Wow I felt old, I just about said it would take place in the 70's, as if it was 2000 or so. Not 2015.
>>71963715
Why did King write that shit? Is he a pedo? I feel like he only did the book for the scene and fapped the whole time he was writing it.
>>71968123
We'll, the kids won't all have cellphones, as it's set in the 80's. So we're good there at least.
>>71968081
the first half of Dreamcatcher with the dudes in the cabin was great, shitweasels and all
Then it turned insane with the military and ayyylmaos and Duddits flashbacks and long chase across the state.
It felt like a throwback to King's drug-addiction days, like Tommyknockers.
>>71968032
yeah a netflix or amazon thing would make this a lot more hype
>>71967758
>>71967834
Death by Mordred was such a piss off.
>>71968206
Stephen King on that particular scene: "I wasn't really thinking of the sexual aspect of it. The book dealt with childhood and adulthood --1958 and Grown Ups. The grown ups don't remember their childhood. None of us remember what we did as children--we think we do, but we don't remember it as it really happened. Intuitively, the Losers knew they had to be together again. The sexual act connected childhood and adulthood. It's another version of the glass tunnel that connects the children's library and the adult library. Times have changed since I wrote that scene and there is now more sensitivity to those issues."
>>71968234
Didn't Mordred end up with food poisoning? That book didn't handle its villains very well.
>>71968123
>my favourite parts were actually the Derry Interludes by Mike Hanlon. Those side stories of the history of strange things in the town really built up the novel for me.
You're literally me. Love the town history lore and would love to see it explored on screen.
Wasn't guillermo del toro interested in remaking IT? He would probably make a more interesting movie
>>71968278
But it won't because most people likely thought the book was too long, and would have cut that good stuff. Even the shit about the guy in the woods seeing ghost lights was cool.
>>71968272
>crimson king
>biggest most evil villain of King EU
>draw picture of him and erase it defeats him
>another remake
Is this real life?
>>71968220
Agreed.
The rest of it just felt very forgettable.
>>71968032
speaking of 11/22/63, did they keep the stuff about Derry in it? Especially when he meets Bev and Richie?
>>71968386
No, they changed most of the story except the very beginning and very end.
BUT... this was interesting: they cast Annette O'Toole (aka adult Beverly Marsh) as a landlady in that episode.
>>71968386
Does he meet bev and richie in the book? Are they teenagers? That sounds interesting
>>71968386
Nah, most of that was cuthe for time. I still really enjoyed the mini series though.
Especially after discovering this fine ass woman.
He looks like he's from a B rate horror movie, and not scary at all. Curry was goat
>>71968468
He does, it's only a year after they think they killed IT.
"Richie later showed up in Derry with Bevery Marsh learning the steps to the lindy-hop. They make secret glances at each other about the murders by Pennywise the Clown, which ended the summer before. Jake Epping gives them some helpful hints on dancing as he learns the whereabouts of the Dunning family. "
>>71968468
yeah, and it's a little cringe-worthy, really beats you over the head with it.
>"My name is Beverly Marsh"
>"My name is Richie Tozier"
>I could tell these kids had a secret between them. A dark secret. They'd been through something traumatic recently. They'd witnessed tragedy. These kids, Beverly Marsh and Richie Tozier of Derry, Maine, had a dark tragic secret in their recent past that would haunt them well into adulthood.
I liked the book, but goddamn Steve, we get the reference.
>>71967218
I feel you, anon.
>>71968572
Oh shit, I was too excited to see them to remember the cringe, hah.
>>71968572
That's pretty fucking bad. He needs to get on drugs again.
We all meme down here
>>71968572
That's not the actual text though, is it? I don't remember it flowing that way.
And I'm too lazy to go get my copy. Typing that into Google didn't lend the actual passage either.
>>71968632
>>71968681
I might be exaggerating a bit, that's just how I remember it. Being unsubtle, but maybe I read IT too many times. For some people it might not have been quite so obvious.
>>71968703
nah I was paraphrasing from memory
>>71967850
holy shit
>>71963568
Looks like Kefka
>>71963568
Looks more cool then scary or sinister like the original.
>>71968710
A lot of his previous references to other books weren't so obvious. I read 11/22/63, it was shit in general but that part was even worse.
He did his best writing when he was either drunk or on drugs. He's getting on in years now so I don't see the harm of him taking all that up again for the sake of his art.
>>71963568
>no silver eyes or orange pompoms
>>71968803
his eyes were yellow
>>71968784
His Mister Mercedes trilogy has been really great.
I also really liked Doctor Sleep.
>>71963568
Looks better without the red part
>>71968879
I admittedly have not read Doctor Sleep, heard it was shit though.
>>71968753
The kid who played Bill killed himself if I recall
And the girl who played Beverly was my waifu from Gingersnaps.
>>71968879
>>71968905
>I liked book
>I haven't read book but it's shit
What riveting conversation!
>>71968867
They were silver in the book.
>>71967132
Isn't Randall Flagg based on Lovecrafts Nyarlathotep?
I always kinda hoped so was Mr. Gaunt from Needful Things was a representation of him too.
I mean it fits him to a tee, but I think he was just meant to be a demon.
>>71968803
You wouldn't be able to see the pom poms in the picture.
I'm curious what he looks like full body.
>>71968956
Leland Gaunt had pretty much nothing in common with Flagg. He was just his own thing.
>>71968867
They were the Dead Lights
>>71968905
>>71968879
I sort of disliked Doctor Sleep. I liked early on but once they introduce a far fetched plot idea and a certain mary sue, all the threat was taken out.
King should just set all his novels in the 60s. Much more comfy, the first half of The Revival was just perfect.
less scary than tim curry but its literally impossible for this new IT to be worse than the original
>>71968930
Yeah, Brandis hung himself.
Agreed. I watched Gingersnaps immediately after realizing she was in it.
>>71968879
Dr. Sleep was a pretty good followup to the Shining. That cult or whatever was pretty scary.
The Mr. Mercedes trilogy wasn't bad either.
I still need to read Revival and Joyland, his only 2 books I haven't read yet.
>>71963568
not remotely as scary as the old one
>>71968949
were they? I read it recently and swear they ere yellow. I dont know anymore
>>71968978
I wonder how Junction City fared with Mr. Gaunt after Needful things.
>>71969013
Tim Curry is kind of what made the original though. I have to hope they make the rest of the movie better but I won't quite get my hopes up just yet.
>>71969009
It is true that Stephen King generally does better with some time periods and he should stick to what he's good with.
>>71968956
Yes.
As far as Leland, he was a demon that collected souls. Not related to Flagg.
>>71969056
It's just a prank, bro.
>>71969035
Revival and Joyland were more classic I found. Revival gave me the comfy childhood in the past feels you got from his earlier books. And Joyland made me think a lot of Hearts in Atlantis(The part all about the game Hearts and college), if I recall, it's been a few years, but I read it in a nice place, so that helped.
>>71969084
Needful Things was just a ruse.
>>71969056
>>71969084
Is it just me or was Needful Things pretty great until the climax?
>Sheriff whips out paper flowers magic trick from up his sleeve, which burns Gaunt, who turns into a hideous demon monster, leaps into his car, and speeds away.
What the fuck was that? Although I liked the speedy getaway, how the car starts transforming into older vehicles, eventually becoming a horse drawn carriage with Gaunt whipping them.
>>71969046
Yeah, Don Hagarty tells the cops that they were "shiny silver"
>>71968930
She's BECKY FROM SUPERNATURAL!
Fucking kek.
>>71969035
Revival is fucking awesome.
I haven't read Joyland, but Revival is probably my current favorite of his newer stories.
It's really dark.
>>71966415
I think he meant Fenton whom everyone thought was Renfield back in the first season. That was Olly Alexander.
>>71969160
Welcome to the traditional Stephen King ending. It makes zero sense, it's disappointing, and you forget all about it afterwards.
At least Prayers Answered is going to be opened soon. Wonder what they sell there. With a name like that, it could be just about anything!
>>71968050
I would bath in her sweat
>>71969013
Watching IT again recently, it did some things right. Of course the two final battles were poorly done. But I am concerned how a modern movie might butcher or portray The Ritual of Chüd, and the Dead Lights. Even The Turtle, will they even bother?
>>71968885
No it doesnt. Stop pretending you fucks could do any better. You couldnt. Its why youre typing from mommies basement and you will die an anonymous death
>>71963568
you
>>71968978
>>71969080
No, not having something in common with Randall Flagg, but something in common with Lovecrafts original description of Nyarlathotep.
>"In his first appearance in "Nyarlathotep" (1920), he is described as a "tall, swarthy man" who resembles an ancient Egyptian pharaoh.[1] In this story he wanders the earth, seemingly gathering legions of followers, the narrator of the story among them, through his demonstrations of strange and seemingly magical instruments. These followers lose awareness of the world around them, and through the narrator's increasingly unreliable accounts the reader gets an impression of the world's collapse."
>"Nyarlathotep differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are exiled to stars, like Yog-Sothoth and Hastur, or sleeping and dreaming like Cthulhu; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms, most of these reputed to be maddeningly horrific. Most of the Outer Gods have their own cults serving them; Nyarlathotep seems to serve these cults and take care of the deities' affairs in their absence. Most of the gods use strange alien languages, but Nyarlathotep uses human languages and can be mistaken for a human being. The other Outer Gods and Great Old Ones are often described as mindless or unfathomable rather than truly malevolent, but Nyarlathotep delights in cruelty, is deceptive and manipulative, and even cultivates followers and uses propaganda to achieve his goals."
I man, he basically came to the town, gathered a legion of followers doing "favors" for seemingly magical items and left it in complete chaos and death.
Needful Things opens in your town.
What do you think would be your needful thing?
What favor do you think you'd have to do to pay for it?
>>71969290
No clue what the favor would be, but I'm guessing I'd pick up Jack Kirby's Fourth World collections real cheap. At a price I can just about afford.
>>71969204
You know what, the dark part is good, but it really builds character in the start, and that's what really stands out in my mind.
Not bad. I mean I don't expect I'll like this Pennywise as much as I do Tim Curry's, but I'm excited all the same.
>>71969282
Shut up, yes it does
>>71969318
would you kill an autistic woman's dog for it?
>>71969290
A life
I'd have to take one though
>>71969342
Straight up kill a dog? No. I'd kill the junkie that lives across the street and frame the alcoholic next door for it though. Mr. Gaunt wouldn't even need to give me nightmares to remind me to do it.
>>71969387
Would you pay 2.59 for an individual klondike bar?
>>71969431
Klondike bar? As in gold? What the hell am I going to do with gold?
I wonder what happened to Sheriff Alan Pangborn. I know he married Polly.
Also, do you think they could do an adaption of Gerald's Game?
>>71963928
kek
>>71968220
I liked the twist with the duddits being more than just their retard friend, but how they excecuted the second half was sub-par
>>71969341
yeah agreed
everything new these days is overdesigned.
hes a 1950's clown. give him a white face and a red nose and call it a day. this shit right here looks like an edgy ICP creation sponspored by monster energy drink
>>71969282
Pffsh okay talentless faggot. I could do better, easily.
Makeup looks retarded and edgelord level 9,000 with the stupid lines going up the face. Looks like a Hot Topic clown.
>>71967736
They all look like they're very easy to hate.
MOM'S
The ending of the novel always felt so right to me. It's sad, it feels of nostalgia, but it feels good too. I think about it sometimes as I get older.
>>71969822
the whole book gets me. I had a group of friends much like the characters in the book. I dont think it's possible to connect with anyone as much as you connect with childhood friends
>>71969822
The part that always gets me is the end of the last chapter, just before the last interlude and epilogue.
>>71968206
I remember there was also a weird scene where Pennywise as the girl's father was trying to molest her and literally talking about her "cunny".
>>71969773
YA JUST KNOW
>>71968681
He really does, some of his best stuff was on drugs. What's really fun is reading the uncut version of The Stand and seeing the writing style change depending on what he was on at the time.
>>71969898
Unfortunately I never really had that, but I have found as I get older, I get nostalgic for things that I never really had anyways. But the thought or dream of them. Books really are a gateway.
>>71969929
Yes. Reading this makes me want to drive right now, find my childhood places as I remember them and just look.
>just look directly into the camera
>should I smile or... like what do you want me to do?
>uhm... look evil. like chin down, evil eyes, evil smile
The lack of creativity is mind boggling. Nothing about that is creepy or scary or disturbing. Would be far more effective if he gave a real, genuine smile but we get a tiny glimpse of his rotten monster teeth.
Hollywood is such a shit factory with barely any creativity or the guts to take even one step off a beaten path.
>>71970171
You're better off just remembering them, anon.
I visited my childhood town once, a small town not unlike Derry with a bunch of old buildings and wilderness where I'd play as a kid, and I was surprised by how depressed it made me. I was sorry I'd come and wished I'd just kept my memories as they were. It's like the man said, you can't go home again.
>>71970232
Same. Visited the old apartment complex I lived in as a child. We want to go back to a familiar time, not a familiar place.
>>71968267
>i wasnt thinking about the sexual aspect to an underaged gangbang
>>71970196
woulda been better with just a simple body shot of him with a balloon and a smile Tbh
>>71970196
It's just one promo photo man, doesn't necessarily mean he'll walk around being edgy Mc-fucking-kill-yourself clown.
>>71970232
Oh, yeah I mean I go home to my dad's place and going around the small town there, the place I used to work, all that stuff has new ownership and changes. So I know what you mean. But some things haven't changed.
I think we have to face what has changed, but those memories can't be taken away from us.
Too bad the area where I spent most of my childhood has increased in year round residents, but also has doubled in cottagers/city folk during the summer.
guys it's just a publicity still, made to build hype. It's not a shot from the movie.
It might not be working for us here, but it's definitely got us talking about it.
>>71970283
>>71970232
I find more and more these days I just want to go some place quiet.
With all the new people moving in, unless I go up out of season, or during the week, I still have to deal with people.
>>71970340
Maybe Just want to be a hermit.
That feeling when there will never be a proper Salem's Lot trilogy or series, starting with Jersalem's Lot as an opening movie or set of episodes, then the main movie, and finally ending with One for the Road.
>>71970498
I really made a mistake of searching for "Jerusalem's Lot"
>>71970382
Funny, I don't have to deal with anyone. People in my neighborhood never come over, they never talk, they never want to have anything to do with you. I found myself wishing they would be friendlier, but maybe I just take this peace for granted.
>>71963568
They're trying too hard to make him look scary. What he really needs is more Bozo the Clown.
>>71963568
It will probably piss off people as it covers the part 1 material. When it comes the part 2 material people will consider it an upgrade.
>>71970896
But part 1 is the best part, it just goes to shit after that.
And as someone else already said, this would have been far, far better as a mini series. I really would have wanted to see that psychopath (or sociopath?) kid who dies in the fridge.
>>71970892
this picture of bozo is way scarier than the new Pennywise
>>71965756
It doesn't have a name really but goes by several aliases. Pennywise the dancing clown is the most common one.
>>71970925
Patrick Hockstetter has been cast
So has Butch Bowers and Mike Hanlon's dad and a man named Rabbi Uris, which either means Stan's dad is a rabbi in this or it's a mistake. But it looks like this movie is going to have more than the TV version did. Although I read that Butch Bowers is a town cop for some reason.
>>71966764
They are not. Look up the stephen king universe.
Flag = Devil
It = Evil Demigod (related in some way to the Crimson King probably who is the final boss so to speak).
>>71971031
>Butch Powers is a town cop
And this meshes in with him getting arrested by the non-racist sheriff for messing with Mike's dad how?
>>71971057
Actually Flag is more like a Wizard than a Devil... Kinda a mix of the 2.
I don't think he was ever human though.
>>71971059
they've obviously made him a racist cop constantly harassing Mr. Hanlon, perhaps to be topical with BLM
>>71971057
>Flag = Devil
No, he's a miller's son who got raped in the ass by a hobo after he ran away form home.
>>71971146
>I don't think he was ever human though
Did you not read The Dark Tower? It tells his backstory. He was human.
>>71971149
I say it was them Martian niggers, Henry.
>>71970659
It's more I hear the sound of them I guess. When I visit my father's, it's out in a rural area, we used to really know the cottagers/neighbors, have them over for fires and such. But after my mother died and myself and my siblings have moved out, and families that had cottages along that road moved along themselves, different people have come in, along with more year round people. Didn't help that the private road we were on was expanded by some one who owned more of the land and split it into lots.
Just means that now when I visit it's just strangers who act like they are the only ones on the road, racing on it with 4wheelers, big trucks, etc. I guess it's almost an "old vs new" thing.
Though in the fall and winter, it's generally quiet like i remembered it.
>>71971186
I only read part of it. Okay. Gotcha.
>>71971031
>>71971059
>>71971059
What the fuck, a town as small as Derry wouldn't have a town Rabbi...and Butch Bowers was just a crazy, shitty farmer. Fuck. You're right, it's gonna have some BLM bull shit. No more mud for the tar baby or whatever that shit was.
It really doesn't matter what they make the clown look like. The performance made it scary.
>>71971247
And then the Hanlons won't be the only blacks in town, instead they'll have their own church and shit. I can see it now.
>>71971211
Ah, that does seem like it would be very disturbing. I'll admit, I hate hearing the occasionally cars screeching by at like 50 fucking miles per hour in a 25 mph zone. And my neighbor constantly revving up his fucking engine at the same exact time every day.
Shit like that bothers me as well. By winter it all pretty much dies down here as well.
>>71971247
>town as small as Derry
The book describes Derry as a small city, and Derry is a standin for Bangor, which currently has a population of more than 32,000. I know the miniseries gave it an old small town feel and was probably filmed in one, but that's not the Derry of the book.
This movie is filming in Toronto, which has a population of more than 2 million.
>>71971279
I wonder if they will even bother with the fire at the Black Spot Club, or the Legion of Northern Decency.
>>71971343
>Legion of Northern Decency
N-no such thing.
>>71971301
Yeah, it's all the city people from Toronto that come up. I guess I sound bitter thinking about it, hah.
Then again, nothing stays the same, and Everything is Eventual.
>>71971279
the Hanlons weren't the only blacks in town in the book, Jesus Christ.
Mike Hanlon didn't go to Derry Elementary, he went to Neibolt Street Church School in the black neighborhood.
The pic is cheesy as fuck. Pennywise was It's lure form, to draw in little kids. Only the silver eyes gave it away. The 'le evil sinister klown' is highschool tier cringe.
Hopefully in the film they knock this shit off and use its other forms more, but now that its set in the 80s even those will be shit.
I knew they were gonna go dark and edgy with this. Dudes gonna try and be the next Joker.
>>71971398
MOM'S GONNA FREAK
>>71971328
I guess that's true, but even the way Derry is described in the 1957's is not an extremely large city. I know during the adult's period it grew, that was the biggest part of the Loser's coming back, how they had mall over the Kitchener Ironworks, etc.
But you are right, it's not just a small town.
>>71971343
Sorry, "The Legion of White Decency."
>>71969822
Will the movie have these feels, or will it just be meme horror?
>>71971057
IT is beyond demigod, it's one of 2 cosmic entities. The other is a turtle that vomits up galaxies.
What we see on Earth is just a vessel for it, trying to establish itself and its spawn in our reality. The real IT exists outside our dimension.
>>71968267
This just sounds like one of those bullshit excuses.
>>71971528
I don't know. If it captures these feelings of childhood and innocence lost, and a dash of nostalgia and longing, maybe it will. If it actually captures those feelings, maybe it might be a great thing.
But, deep down, I doubt it. Maybe they will do some neat things, since kids in the 80's wouldn't be afraid of the Teenage Werewolf, so they will have to find some new spooks.
>>71971557
Don't forget The Other.
>>71969479
Gerald's Game by Fincher would be awesome
>>71971398
This,
The thing that made Pennywise so scary was that he looked pretty much the same as any other clown. It was only if you looked carefully at him you would realize that he was inhuman.
Now he just looks like a fucking supervillain or anime character or something, he stands out too much.
>>71963568
Bill Skarsgard an actor from a show that flopped playing the role of pennywise whose tim curry played.
This fucking kid will not beat fucking tim curry performance wise, that's like trying to beat heath ledger as the joker.
>>71964250
Stop sexualizing women you shitlord
>>71973273
>women
I'm not. I meant the child actress.
