Horror Welcome to Derry - HBO Max Developing IT Prequel Series

Since in this last episode we learned that It experiences time all at once, and it’s been established in the book and the film that Dick Hallorann can see the future, it would be kind of fun if directors and writers played around with our knowledge of the film in a meta way by showing us how events in the future could happen, and a lot of those visions he gets are how things play out in the book. So, in the Overlook series, we get both the book version while also adhering to what was established in the film.

It would also be a fun way mess with our expectations of whether those future events with Jack, Wendy amd Danny Torrence will occur how they do in the book or in the film, just to keep us on our toes. Maybe even bring Mike Flanagan back and have him be a producer and direct an episode or two to tie it all together as a bonus.

That would be great, he was supposed to do the Hallorann prequel film before it got cancelled due to Doctor Sleep not doing well at the box office.

That really bummed me out.

I was wondering if any of his ideas made it into this show, so I did a little googling and found this:
 
Chris Chalk said he’s already pitched a spin-off.


Chalk himself is at least intrigued by the idea of returning to the world of Derry, as he told TV Insider of the time travel twist that could bring him back into the fold, “I’ve pitched it! I have also said, ‘Hey, Dick can kind of do anything. Now that he’s connected to the universe, there’s no need to disconnect him.'”
