Stephen King's "IT" remake has found a writer - Part 1

[David H.]

Yup. It leaked a few months back, but it's seemingly impossible to find again. It's like the Internet swallowed it up.

Went down the gutter?

Went down the gutter?

Pennywise ate it.

As talented as Cary Fukunaga is, I think it was best that he didn’t make the film he wanted to make. Having read the 2014 Fukunaga draft, it was a decent script, however, it was definitely a mixed bag. Yes, he made odd changes, such as changing names (a non-stuttering Bill became Willy and Henry became Travis) and the ending isn’t the best. Even just after Fukunaga had left the project, he stated that he felt his vision of “IT” would be most likely seen as a mixed bag.

That said, there was lots of good in his script and I’m pleased that Andres Muschietti used a big portion of the Fukunaga screenplay when script rewrites began. Heck, Fukunaga is getting a screenplay credit for the final film. Muschietti seems to be a big fan of Stephen King’s novel so I have faith his rewrites only made the Fukunaga screenplay better.

I really want to have that poster up on my wall!

How was his Pennywise?

 

[Dyson]

How was his Pennywise?

I found him to be a vicious, lingering evil figure.

 

[Hotwire]

How fitting that this pic I took years ago would pop back up in my news feed after the poster was released!

 

[StarLord]

Hi-Res version

 

[Galactus10]

Looks great in HI Rez


I'm boosted

 

[A Necessary Evil]

If only that trailer was released at midnight.

I work night shift, so it won't be up for a good while I bet.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I just realized, in the teaser, we can hear Pennywise laugh, and what a laugh it is!

 

[DeGenerate10]

Anyone know what time it'll be released?

 

[TonySoprano]

In 4 minutes.

Damn, was pranked by a fake youtube channel.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Anyone know what time it'll be released?

Probably 4-5 hours.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I can't wait for this to hit!

 

[Greens]

Should be here in an hour.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Yeah I'm assuming 12pm est since that's when the teaser for the trailer hit.

 

[scarlet-witch]

So close yet so far away.

 

[Kaleb]

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I'm hoping they don't mean 11am pst.

 

[Boom]

Well it's already 11:40 AM EST, and no trailer.

So 11:00 AM PST would mean 2:00 PM EST. Two hours to go.

[Kane52630]

Nice.

 

[David H.]

Cool.
