Horror Stephen King's "IT" Part I and Part II

[samsnee]

Even in the TV movie with Tim Curry, the kids half was more interesting so it’s not surprising to me if the same holds true for this sequel.

 

[SuperBatman]

BTW what ever happend to the Directors Cut that we were suppose to get of the 1st film?

Warner bros is likely going to be milking the releases, Andy already confirmed it. My guess would be right before the release of the second film releases.

This doc on the mini-series looks great.

 

[The Joker]

^ I am very eager to see that documentary. It looks very insightful with so many people from the mini series being involved.

IT-Themed Versions Of Clue & Monopoly

Section: Film » It
Who’s up for a game night? Seems like Pennywise is. USAopoly has announced their latest games.

CLUE takes the classic mystery game even further into shrouded chaos as Bill Denbrough and his friends attempt to determine Pennywise’s Plan. Travel between the The House on Neibolt Street, the Synagogue, Derry Public Library, and more to identify various items used to lure the town’s youth, while avoiding Red Balloons that will end the operation before the menacing killer’s Plan can be uncovered. CLUE: IT will be available this March.

MONOPOLY: IT makes buying, selling, and trading places in and around Derry, Maine the key to winning this uncanny twist of “the Landlord’s Game.” Using tokens of iconic items such as an Inhaler, Paper Boat, and Bicycle, players can draw Encounters and Phenomena cards as they build Suburban Houses and Apartment Buildings on locations like Pennywise’s Cistern and the Derry Sewers. MONOPOLY: IT will be available later this year.

You've just proved my point. Patrick is neither referenced as Patrick, nor is he even used as a protagonist against the Losers, or given any proper screen time with Bowers in the miniseries. Its undeniable that the 2017 movie utilized him more faithfully than the miniseries.

Bowers has a plethora of scenes that make the Losers lives a living hell in the book. Take out the breaking Eddie's arm scene, and he's still every bit as effective a bully. The breaking of Eddie's arm is important because of the effect it has on Eddie as a character, not how it got broken. That's just a plot device.

What difference does it make if its the pharmacist, or his b*tch of a daughter who tells Eddie he's getting placebos? Again this is another case of the effect it has on Eddie, not who it is that told him. The outcome is still the same. Second of all that girl is not a bully of Eddie's. She has a beef with Beverly. Not Eddie. That is the first and only time you see her and Eddie interact in the movie.

No, the leper scene is very much given context since Eddie is paranoid about diseases and germs, and the leper is, in Eddie's very own words like a walking disease. That's what the leper represents to Eddie. A disease ridden infectious person trying to attack him. That was rather obvious.

Neibolt was a very important element of the book with many crucial scenes happening in it, so that was a major missing element from the miniseries. As for why did most of them keep watch, because if things go wrong in there then there is more of them to act to help save those that went in. Again they were being smart.

If you say the whole summer, how many ways is there to take such a comment? Second of all, you are factually wrong. It is not Bill's primary motivation. He doesn't even get that motivation until late in the book after the Losers have all conferred on their encounters with Pennywise, and pieced together what he has been doing. The movie doesn't suffer at all for that because whether Bill thinks Georgie is alive or dead, he still believes Pennywise is responsible for his disappearance and seeks to kill It.

I'm not focusing on the surface, I'm focusing on the facts. We never see Mike's parents in the miniseries either, but he is no more seen as the adult than Stan is. Stan is the skeptic of the Losers. He's the one who tries to bring rationality to an irrational situation, but is forced by the reality of the situation to accept that Pennywise is real.

Who says Pennywise's marks aren't visible to the adult eye? When did the movie state that an injury inflicted by Pennywise is invisible?

The final confrontation is not a mess just because Beverly is taken hostage by Pennywise. In fact Beverly is the character that shows Pennywise's ultimate weakness when he cannot touch her because she is not afraid of him. So he is forced to use his dead lights to subdue her. But he can't kill her. As for Bowers, the movie never shows him killing his friends. So I don't know what you're talking about there. As for Mike trying to kill Henry.....it was blatantly self defense since Bowers was trying to murder him and the others. So what exactly is being glossed over here?

The swearing is a good thing because its an accurate depiction of the kids in the book who swear quite often. Richie is every bit as crass and obnoxious regarding his humor in the book, even going so far as to making jokes about Stan being a jew and how his people killed Jesus Christ. In comparison to making a nailing Eddie's mom joke, which kids make all the time as mom jokes are common as rain with kids.

Your argument that the miniseries gave the better version of Derry is based on the look of the Barrens, and the building the dam sub plot? Ok facts check. First of all the visual look of the barrens isn't even remotely important to the depiction of Derry and how its residents are portrayed, and the whole ignoring of Pennywise. Second of all what is wrong with Derry being depicted as sunny and pleasant looking? Quote me the lines of the book that describe Derry as a dark miserable looking town.

You don't have to defend the miniseries because its the inferior less faithful adaption. No question about it. The only real strength of it is Curry's performance.

Sorry for being so late, but I couldn't help but notice your argument regarding the way Derry is portrayed in the movie, and I wholeheartedly agree. Honestly, I think that Derry being depicted as a jolly, sunny town makes its true nature that much creepier, especially when you consider how everyone just seems to turn a blind eye every time something awful happens.

 

[Sawyer]

Okay, seriously, who do I need to **** to get us that trailer?

 

[Nardz937]

Another week or two for sure.

 

[SuperBatman]

Most likely will be on Pet Sematary in 2 weeks.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Sounds about right. The first trailer for the first part was released end of March.

 

[Sawyer]

Goddamn right

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Dammit Sawyer, I thought the thread was bumped for the teaser/trailer



Today is the 2 year anniversary of the horror trailer event that was IT Part I. Can we get something today, maybe??

 

[MattP]

Strange that this exact day 2 years ago we had the teaser trailer for chapter 1 and the release date for chapter 2 is even sooner albeit by a few days.

We should get be getting something soon I would hope.

 

[SuperBatman]

I fuly expect something next week or Monday putting the Teaser Trailer on Pet Sematary would make since.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Goddamn right

So James McAvoy doesn't warrant a cast listing? Okay...

 

[Sawyer]

Film Music Reporter is firmly Team Benverly and, frankly, I applaud them for it.

Yeah I'll be shocked if it's not attached to PS

 

[MattP]

It isn't. I read on reddit that someone asked Andy Muschietti and he said no

 

[harlequinade]

That blows :/

 

[Drizzle]

The first film had to ramp up the marketing early. This time around, everyone knows what it is and is already anticipating it so they can afford to wait on the trailer a bit. If the trailer isn't showing up in April, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see one until May with Godzilla.

 

[Marvolo]

If they had released Part 2 in 2018 a short marketing campaign probably would have been fine. But it might be a mistake to drag ass and then **** out some abbreviated marketing campaign. There are plenty of people that havent read the book that dont know the story isnt over. The first film had a full resolution and more than a few viewers have probably moved on or dont know it's getting a sequel. And it's been two years since the first film.
