Stephen King's "IT" remake has found a writer - Part 3

So it seems that WB is taking down videos with Bill Skarsgard. Hmmmmm

 

[The Joker]

I wonder why. He didn't say anything spoilery.

I thought he was very well composed, professional and insightful. Maybe it has to do with that one bit he mentioned about how sometimes they have to talk up a film they're in during press appearances even if they don't legit like the film.

However, I do recall them saying he wasn't going to be doing press for the film to keep the "mystique" of Pennywise in tact.

Ready For IT Part 2

The team behind IT is ready to go when they get GO.

"We are locked and loaded and ready to jump in the minute they say 'go,'" said Producer Seth Grahame-Smith. "The script is not done, but the script is being worked on. Obviously we, all the filmmakers, are just champing at the bit to get started, and we have a very exciting shape, and [It co-writer Gary Dauberman] is working away."

Edit

I've been trying to share images from the screening I went to and photobucket doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else having this issue?

Could be they weren't ready to release it just yet... Or Youtube took it down by accident for a copyright violation when they played a clip. Happens all the time.

That would be cool.

for about a month photobucket requires a paid account to hotlink images. A nice sum too

In Deadline's interview with siblings Andy and Barbara Muschietti, there's an aside saying that the film is tracking north of $70 million and possibly hit $80 million opening weekend.

I seriously think IT will hit $95M-$100M opening weekend the following Monday after.

Thanks for the heads up about using Imgur guys. This is the free pin and t-shirt we received at the early screening this past Monday. The back of the shirt has a small IT logo and says September 8th under it.

Next weekend's estimated location count for IT is 4,000+.

Logan is the widest 'R' rated release atm with 4,071 theaters. Let's see if 'IT' can break that record.

How foolish mustn't the makers of The Dark Tower feel if this is the success as it looks to be at the moment...

They'll take the wrong lessons, fast track The Dark Tower II and fill the movie up with clowns.

Completely different types of films and as far as approach is concerned, polar opposites. When viewing IT it's very apparent that the studio let Andy Muschietti really have carte blanche and do whatever he wanted to do with his vision. That's one of the key reasons why I believe the film is as good as it is.

Saw this Monday at a Joblo hosted screening in DC and overall I enjoyed it. Bill's Pennywise portrayal is horrifying, comical, and captivating. I was initially skeptical of his look and how a child could approach such a thing when it looks like a demonic entity, but Bill can go from innocent looking clown to a wild beast in a heartbeat. My only real problem is the number of jokes. I understand they're children, growing up in the 80s, so constant rifts on each other are common, but there were points where a joke was made then something horrifying happens in the very next minute which reduced the scare factor.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Real shame if they couldn't keep the tone and suspense and sacrificed it in favor of humor.

What does this have to do with that? Even if this fails, their takeaway from DT should be the same as if it succeeds.

Strategy-wise, that would be a good way to keep your kid from getting killed in Derry. Flattering Pennywise with cosplay.

 

[The Joker]

Tim Curry is keen to see the new Pennywise;

“Well, I like [Bill] Skarsgard very much, I think he’s very clever. It’ll be interesting what sort of clown face he puts on, because it’s not an obvious clown face at all. I’ve seen the trailer and you can’t really see him at all. So I’m fascinated to see it. He’s very good.”

Curry’s performance in the miniseries was terrifying and consistent through both parts, and the ending that was given to the second and final part of the series was quite anticlimactic, with IT’s true form revealed to be that of a rubbery looking spider. While it stays true to the novel, it’s a letdown after Curry’s outstanding performance as an evil clown. Curry addressed this issue and added that he hopes the film has a better ending because, in the TV series, he “turned into some kind of giant spider, and it was not very scary.”

“IT” Sequel Tackles Macroverse Elements

By

Box-office estimates for the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King’s “IT” keep rising with talk of the film potentially opening to $70 million or so following early rave reaction.
We know the film only adapts half of King’s massive novel, and at last report director Andres Muschietti is returning to helm an adaptation of the second half which begins production early next year.
Now doing press rounds for “IT,” he confirms to Bad Taste that his priority is the “IT” sequel and, once that’s wrapped, he’ll then do the live-action version of “Robotech” for Sony Pictures.
Asked if the “IT” second part will have a higher budget, he not unsurprisingly responded: “Well, clearly I hope so”. Muschietti has previously said that while the second half will focus on the adult versions of the characters in the present day, there will be scenes involving the kids as well as dialogue between the two timelines.
There is also expected to be flashbacks throughout Derry’s history, revealing numerous times IT’s influence is seen in the community, and a visit to another dimension to face IT in its true form.
Muschietti’s first film offers a more grounded conclusion, but he tells Yahoo Movies there’s several reasons for this, and the second film will tackle the costly, FX-heavy and more otherworldly fight against the shapeshifting antagonist:

“I really wanted to focus on the emotional journey of the group of kids. Getting in to that other dimension – the other side – was something that we could introduce in the second part.
In the book the perspective of the writing… is always with the Losers, so everything they know about Pennywise is very speculative and shrouded in obscurity, so I wanted to respect that mystery feeling of not knowing what’s on the other side.
I also wanted to leave something for the second half, so I didn’t want to get in trouble with that – going into the macroverse or that transdimensional stuff – and keep it grounded, from the point of view of the kids.
There’s another movie to expand into that. Also, there’s a physical truth that it’s a movie that has a budget. And I didn’t want to get into a depiction of a realm that f—s up our budget, the creation of a world that will basically suck up half of our budget, and would have to sacrifice a lot of things.
So basically it’s a balancing act, but it’s also intricately connected with the content, which is staying true to the emotional aspect of the book.”
