Stephen King's "IT" remake has found a writer - Part 2

Especially with the creepy clown craze.

I imagine there'll be a ton of those creepy clown sightings again when this movie hits theaters.

There's a good chance of that happening.

I'm considering not watching any trailers after this one, especially if they have IT speaking. I love what they did with this trailer, not showing much, and still being highly effective.

I didn't think I was going to be this excited for this but I truly can't wait. My Facebook has been blowing up with the amount of posts the trailer has been getting. Hopefully, it'll be the horror event of the year and does not disappoint.

Looking at the hype, Stephen King is probably going to get a nice royalties check due to this movie.

 

[JtheDreamer]

Someone's review of the trailer on Twitter LOL

 

[CaptainWagner]

The looks great! And it's terrific to see all the hype it's getting. I don't think we need to worry about getting Part 2.

Jesus. 8 million views on YouTube in 12 hours. That's kicking all the other recent big trailers in the ass, views-wise. This thing is hyped to ****. Stranger Things really laid the groundwork. Really hoping it's a great movie that deserves the attention.

It's final form in the book was a giant spider, yes, the closest It could come to a physical form without driving a human being instantly insane, if not dead (which would happen as a result of witnessing It's true form, the deadlights). People generally rag on the last 100 pages of the novel, whereas I thought it was brilliant. Really bat-**** insane, abstract, Lovecraftian, metaphysical stuff. Not something that would translate well to film, though, and the execution in the mini-series was fairly poor.

God I hated that ending in the mini series. I really hope they do something else for the second film. But if not at least they've split it into two do I could just enjoy the first film (if the first is good and second one isn't of course). In the mini series it always bothered me that the kid stuff was done in flashbacks, I always felt it should have been kids then adults as it seems the movies are going to be. I'm not sure if that's how it was done in the book but I think sometimes you have to make changes/sacrifices for the film, as what works in a book might not work in a film and vice versa.

Yeah this is gonna be it for me (pun intended). I want the first time I hear Pennywise to be on the big screen.

Ugh. It was awful. The entire [BLACKOUT]Deadlights / Ritual Of Chud / Turtle[/BLACKOUT] reduced to two men staring slightly off camera for a few seconds.

When people say they've seen the miniseries, but not read the book, I cringe, because they really don't know what IT is about, or how the story actually ends. They think it's a horror story about an evil clown, not a metaphysical being of near unlimited power and access to the [BLACKOUT]macroverse of King's Dark Tower sequence[/BLACKOUT].

[BLACKOUT]A huge thing in the book is the loss of innocence, and being forgetful of the past. In the book, when they all grow up and leave Derry, they all forget until they come back.[/BLACKOUT]

Haha yeah that's so true although I do forgive that they had a small budget.

I did start reading IT once but I just can't get into King's books. Although I am aware that that IT wasn't always just the clown and would pray on people's deepest fears. I know in the mini series they did touch on that briefly with the Werewolf and other things. I get why the mini series and this film are going mostly for the Clown though, when you make a film version you gotta think what works best on screen.

Oh right, that didn't really happen in the mini series did it.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Yes, it did.

 

[HopeOfTheFuture]

In the leaked draft, Pennywise (after rising from the water)

Spoiler

scuttles up the stairs like a crocodile with Georgie's corpse on his back,

so I hope that makes it into the film.

Is this leaked draft somewhere available to download?

 

[scarlet-witch]

This thing is a monster - up to 66 million views!

Where are you getting that number? Are you adding a bunch of the youtube videos together?


#ItMovie was trending on twitter for quite a while yesterday afternoon. That's huge for a horror movie trailer. I really hope this does well at the box office.

 

[Nardz937]

Trailer got over 100k retweets. Wowzers.

 

[AnneFan]

The response to this trailer is no laughing matter.

Me, getting angry at that dad joke.

 

[AnneFan]

Stop clowning around.

 

[kickass]

Might be too early to tell, but any predictions how much this could make OW? How much did Insidious and Sinister do? (I have no idea why I'm even comparing these 3, but it seems related somehow lol)

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

The response to this trailer is no laughing matter.

Yeah. It's pretty impressive, isn't It?

 

[Guts]

I liked it. The trailer is the second best trailer for IT in my opinion.

If the hype stays strong for this film and if the majority of critics like it (I'm talking around 65% or higher on RT) , I think it could make around $30 to $40 million in North America on opening weekend.

250 million WW isn't out of the question if the film is very good, judging from the unexpected amount of hype we're seeing.

I think that's the minimum it does. I think this performs greater than a split, conjuring performance. Even with the r rating.
