Stephen King's It Remake 2017

[Mr. EcKo]

woooow , I made this thread in 2014!!! finally its happening.

I think this movie is going to be good . So they're this movie is all about when the lucky 7 were kids . If the movie does well , then a part 2 will be made finishing the story with the lucky 7 as adults.

I think the success of this film will very much depend on how much chemistry the kids have. People are comparing it to Stranger things ( one of the very actors from ST is in this ) and if it manages to make us care for the characters, it will be all the more scary.

This remake from the trailer release seems to be promising but we shall see "THEY ALL FLOAT"

After showing my kids the trailer for this yesterday, they wanted to watch the original. We started it last night. Curry is still fantastic in it. The library scene with Richie is the best. I just still dislike everything with the adults in this series. I really hope that part 2 does a better job with that.

I wonder if this will increase the clown sightings craze around the world again?

If a clown comes near my house this Fall, he'll have to be prepared to face my 12-gauge.

Ummm... no, it wasn't creepy at all.
Stupid looking and funny? Absolutely.

Yep. That's one of the contributing factors as to why I really hated the 2nd part of the movie. I'd prefer if he was just a Clown.

This is one King book I haven't gotten around to reading yet. I liked the original mini series OK. Curry was amazing. Trailer here looks pretty mediocre IMO. Probably won't bother with it unless the reviews are extremely positive.

Well, Kara, jumpon the book. The original mini series, especially part 2, was crap in comparison to the masterpiece this book is!

 

[ZaCHw117]

wow this looks great, I've never read the book or seen the original, which would you fans recommend first?

 

[DinoDB1975]

Depends on how much time you have. I'd say the book.

 

[xipotec]

The problem with the mini series is it was a mini series....they used mostly second rate actors.......gutted the parts of the book that were conversational and this......

They gave him human hands and bad stop motion.......believe me they can make the final iteration of IT very scary if they wish.

 

[YoNoSe]

I don't even hate

Spoiler

the final form in the miniseries - I just think the problem is you need to convey that there's something behind it that just can't be comprehended. I think with digital filmmaking and effects that might be easier to illustrate. In the book there are sections written from IT's perspective at the ending and there's no real good way to convey that on film.

I don't find the ending disappointing in the book at all.

I'm a pretty big Stephen King fan, so it is just a matter of time. Beyond the Shining (which frankly exceeds the book), I haven't seen any adaptation that even comes close to the source material.

I agree 100%. I expected a lot from The Mist and was ultimately disappointed. I think that It and The Stand are King's best books and I couldn't even get through the Stand adaptation so much it looked bad in comparison with the original material.

No contest here, the book!

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I saw the Stand only last year I think, after finally reading the book. And of course, there was no contest. Though I thought the guy playing Flagg was really damn good. Not sure if McConaughey can do as good a job.

 

[**16k**]

Why? Are they adapting the Stand again? I must have missed that...

 

[karamazov80]

No, I'm referring to the Dark Tower film. Same character.
