Honestly Tim Curry’s Pennywise was a lot better, Bill Skarsgard was alright but not close. IT chapter 1 was good, chapter 2 was decent. But IT (1990) is by far the best IT adaptation with Tim Curry as Pennywise. But this is a prequel series I hope they don’t show too much about the Pennywise character, keep some mystery to the character.
I couldn't disagree more. I watched the original 2 parter as a kid and I loved. I even thought it still held weight to the new ones, so I bought it on DVD. The updates in special effects, makeup and story really make the old one hard to watch. But we aren't all supposed to agree.
Fun fact: Both Bill Skarsgård and I have a thing called Strabismus or ‘a lazy eye’ which is what makes the eye move to the side. I can do it in both eyes, while Bill Skarsgård can only do it in his left eye.
The “recasting” literally cannot happen, as it literally breaks canon. Then in part 2, the photo on the wall at Beverly’s place shows the real man that Pennywise took the impression of. That is implied on the fact that he has a presumed daughter in the photo with him. Maybe using her as a disguise after he killed her father. With the show taking place in the 60’s he would already have his clown form. He would be the titular clown. As the stories of Derry date back long ago. With signs of Pennywise (as a clown) being somewhat known, but never fully realized in the town. If they went back to the 1800s I can see him appearing more human or being another creature in appearance.
Almost cried when I heard this news; 2017’s IT and Bill’s Pennywise is what got me into drawing horror art, and really what got me into horror movies more. Words cannot EXPRESS how perfect Bill is for this role, and how impatient I am for this series to come out 😂
I’m probably skipping on this. I like the IT remake less and less as time goes on. It’s good, but they’re like 2 of the most overrated horror movies of the 2010s.
I think it's a mistake only focusing on the 60s. there is so much rich history they can do. they could do little stories of each cycle of when he woke up. which is back in the 1700s but I would start back in the early 1900s and work my way from there.
Next thing you know there’s gonna be a multiverse and SPOILER ALERT Eddies death was in an alternate timeline btw I’m just making jokes how everything seems to be a multiverse movie
It is ironic that you said Stephen King the crack needs to stop because King actually used drugs when writing some of his novels and it was so bad that King said he doesn't remember writing cujo
so stephen king is a producer thats nice i remember bill said he wasnt doing it because stephen king wasnt involved so i guess they got stehpen king and bill came right along. they should of let bill play pennywise in castle rock season 1 instead of playing the boy.
4:03 let me fill you in on the lore chris. So basically, this dude called gan created the multiverse and the dark tower to protect it, gans essence became whats known as the macroverse, where he creates 12 guardians of the beams of the tower, one of then being maturin the turtle, and evil counterparts to them, Pennywise (or the deadlights) being the evil counterpart to maturin, maturin then vomits out prime earth where all of stephen kings stories take place on into existence, Pennywise goes to this earth which is carried on the back of maturin and feasts on the kids of derry to keep himself alive, I always hate when people say its weird, like yes, it is weird, and thats why its amazing
I really do hope it’s about all the cycles of violence in the book before the losers. From the settlers to the iron works explosion and the burning of the black spot
I was worried they would pull something where Bill is teased in the last few minutes of the final episode so maybe a minute of screen time but maybe the strikes changed people's minds and they decided to put him in it more. Bill seems down to clown so if he's willing put him in it as much as you can.
Im sorry but why the cast look so "inclusive"? Im really tired of that, in the first IT its 1950's and we know how the people act back in those days , even in the movie theres a few black characters in general and are the kids who accept Michael hanlon, so are you telling me this story is base of some relative to him? If not is a huge fail in the story and context, Because if this is way back than the first movie , In the early 1950s, the USA was a divided country. So having in a town too many black characters in my opinion is not accurate with "the years" this take place like cmon people even for a story like IT its important 🙄🤦♂️ and yes it does matter, its like adding some random asian guy in the story like what? 😐
I think the best route to go would be to have pennywise be a “normal man” in the town like in the picture. Who’s really a serial killer who devours children. Then have him come up with the concept of being a clown then have him going between the two back and forth. Like during the day he’s this odd looking spooky man and at night or in alleys or whatever he becomes the clown.
