What’s the point of code naming movies nowadays? Honest question...

 

[samsnee]

Maybe because not everyone follows every movie news and rumor intensely enough to know what the code name is for?

I figure its so if they are filming on location say in a small town or something then the locals might be less likely to flood the area as they have no idea what the movie is.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Do we know when the Directors Cut will be coming out?

 

[MadderMaximus]

Last I read it was September.

 

[Finarfiniel]

Sigh, give us a casting announcement already!

Also praying that Benjamin Wallfisch returns to do the score for Chapter 2, his score for the first movie was perfection.

Anybody looking for the set or really wants to know, can easily find out. Anyone that doesn’t care, it doesn’t matter what they call it...hence my question. Seems to be a carryover from days past when social media or the internet didn’t exist.

That is a very unique username you have there.

Julianne Nicholson for grown up Bev?

 

[Drizzle]

She looks the part but...

I'd be shocked if adult Bev isn't played by Chastain.

 

[Marvolo]

Julianne Nicholson for grown up Bev?

Looks wise she's perfect, but she's probably older than they want for the role. Tho she could probably play Bev in her 30s just fine.

 

[Matt Mortem]

There's only a five year difference between Chastain and Nicholson. Either would be great. I think Nicholson looks the part a bit more, but Chastain has a bit more fire to her that'd suit adult Bev better.

James McAvoy, Bill Hader in Talks to Star in 'It: Chapter Two'

If deals make, McAvoy would play the role of the adult Bill Denbrough. Hader will play the adult Richie Tozier.

 

[The Joker]

James McAvoy, Bill Hader in Talks to Star in 'It: Chapter Two'

Both solid choices

 

[Sawyer]

Did not see McAvoy coming. Strikes me as a bit too youthful, but acting-wise, he's aces.

 

[harlequinade]

Very cool, Hader was popular fan choice

 

[NotNickFury]

McAvoy and Chastain just cannot stay apart, can they? I like it. First, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, Dark Phoenix next year, and now this, unless I'm missing something.

 

[Schlosser85]

I wouldn't have thought of McAvoy for Bill. I'm not sure how much I see it, looks-wise, but honestly it's hard to come up with an adult actor who looks like Jaeden Lieberher.

 

[Mandon Knight]

McAvoy in particular is great casting.

 

[Drizzle]

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought of McAvoy for Bill, but that works fine for me. The more I think about it, I can see him as an adult version of Jaeden Lieberher.

As for Hader, well...obvious casting is obvious.

 

[Marvel united]

McAvoy is a bit young

 

[Sawyer]

Seems as though Chastain is official now, too.

 

[Mandon Knight]

McAvoy is a bit young

He's 38 and can pass younger or older, in this case, he needs older, but 'rough' him up and he can be early 40's easily.

 

[Sawyer]

He's in the right age range. He just has a much more youthful energy than any of the guys I had been thinking about for Bill.
