Horror Welcome to Derry - HBO Max Developing IT Prequel Series

[Sawyer]

Why is he only being announced now? Is he not having as big of a role in this one?

I wouldn’t attach too much meaning to the timing of this reveal. Deadline says Skarsgard has an EP credit on the series, so he’s probably been involved for some time.

Good to know. I was really looking forward to seeing a lot of him.

I'm just happy Skarsgard's in it at all given how busy his schedule seems to be these days. You couldn't do this show without him.

 

[Sawyer]

I do think they’ll probably use him somewhat sparingly like Chapter Two did. Maybe one or two episodes where he has a heavier presence than the rest.

I actually wonder if they’re revealing this now because the marketing is about to kick into gear and Pennywise will (understandably) play some part in that. I could see Max dropping this in the fall, right around the same time both movies hit theaters.

That man’s named actually Dorian Grey? Neat.

27 years would place it in 1961. The original book childhood scenes took place in 1958 so they’re pretty close to recreating some of the monster movie stuff in the theatre methinks. Maybe the whole werewolf stuff.

I'm loving that we're getting a pseudo-adaptation of Derry from the 1958 parts of the book (a few years removed but still more or less the same time period).

 

[Sawyer]

And I’m guessing that either Chris Chalk or Jovan Adepo are going to be Mike Hanlon’s grandfather?

EDIT: Ah, missed the pics with Adepo’s name visible.

I mean they're going to have to get Bill at least when he's in his Pennywise form.

 

[Sawyer]

Also curious if they keep (at least in reference) Dick Hallorann in the mix at The Black Spot.

The question of whether things would be toned down at all struck me as very funny. Honestly, I feel like HBO has the freedom to go a little bit further than an R-rated film can.

I don't want anything wimpy.

Kids today watch the Terrifier movies if they're afraid of pushing the envelope. There's no need to hold back on anything.
