I think Jessica Chastain is the obvious actress for Bev and she would be stellar for the role, I wouldn’t mind seeing someone else in the part. Here are my picks for the adult roles.

Bill – Corey Stoll
Bev – Kelly Reilly
Ben – Scott Speedman
Richie – Bill Hader
Mike – Marcus Henderson
Eddie – Lukas Haas
Stan - Johnny Galecki

She is a great actress, she has name recognition, she is the right age for the part, she has worked with the director before and she also happens to look very much like how to the character is described in the novel.

That said, I really wouldn't mind seeing another actress tackle the role, if we happen to get Part 2 green lighted.
 
I saw a comment to Barb Muschietti, Andy's sister and a producer on the film on Instagram. Jessica was suggested for Bev, which she thought was a great idea.

It wouldn't shock me if she ended up in the part. Then again, who knows as part 1 needs to be a hit for part 2 to be green lit.
 
If rumors are correct, production for the second film will start before the first film releases. That is if the studio is confident enough about, having seen the film, they should be.
 
Yeah, I'm not so sure either. The trailer being released in the next few weeks seems likely, though.

Stoll wouldn't make for a great Bill. Bill becomes overweight in the books, and has a old-man look to him I imagined that Stoll doesn't. Galecki as Stan, hell no. Speedman doesn't remind me of Ben, but I've seen none of his work, so he could be good. Haas would make for a good Eddie, and I've wanted Hader for a good while as Richie haha.
 
U know any chance of getting Seth Green to be his older self in the Sequel
 
I think the trailers gonna drop in the next week. Probably the "everything floats down here" part.

What, playing Richie? Ehh. It'd be a fun little wink to have him in the movie, but he looks nothing like what anyone would imagine an older version of the kid from Stranger Things would look like.
 
Nobody post until the trailer's here :o
 
I'm still gutted that the IMDb boards were closed down. They were my go-to source for discussion on specific films, It being one of them.

You can find better places for movie discussions than troll central. Best thing they ever did was close down those boards.
 
Agreed. Those forums were awful. I posted on them so I know.


No wonder those forums were so awful...

Bill Hader for Richie!

Yes! He's so Richie that it's crazy. Jessica Chastain is fancast for pretty much every red haired female character in existence, but I actually like the idea of her as Bev. She has the beauty, the fire and the slightly hard edge that is required for the character.

I started a re-read a couple of nights ago. :woot: Praying we get a trailer soon.
