Stephen King's It (2017)

[The NZA]

Bill Skarsgard is Pennywise in the new 'It'

 

Up and coming actor Bill Skarsgard will play the lead role in It, the Andy Muschietti-directed adaptation of the Stephen King bestseller about neighborhood pals who are haunted by the murderous clown Pennywise. It’s a step up for Skarsgard, who has been knocking on the door in series like Hemlock Grove and the Divergent sequels. He’s the son of actor Stellan Skarsgard.

Haha! Hakujin summed it up nicely.

 

I haven't seen this guy in anything, so I'm not sure if he'd be a good Pennywise. Tim Curry is hard to beat in ANY of his roles! I'd kinda like to see an updated It, only because I'm interested in a theatrical version. The miniseries was sooo long, but also really good so this'll have big shoes to fill (there's a clown reference here I'm too lazy to make).

 

Anyone else think this Skarsgard dude has Steve Buscemi eyes?

damn, now that you mention it, yeah...doubtful if he'd find it a compliment though, haha

[Keth]

The Buscemi eyes will only heighten the performance.

Did watch all off Hemlock Grove, i think he might be able to pull it off.

When assessing the quality of a potential Pennywise, recall that the man they got for the job in the '80s looked like this:

 

[Mr. Hakujin]

Yeah, Curry was pimp af. What's your point?

[Keth]

Probably that he looks a hell of alot like Skarsgard there. He even had those Buscemi eyes.

What an amazing blu-ray for such a mediocre movie.

[Little Nemo McFly]

What's really amazing is the price...only $55! LOL - WTF?!

Seems they are incorporating a lot more from the book, which is nice.

Feels like i'm in the story , going back to see another version of it as an adult.

Very excited.

This has been bothering me since I saw the new Pennywise... I thought I saw him somewhere before and then it just hit me now:

 

It's like he's a less colorful Creegan from Cleopatra: 2525

 

 

It's like Alice in Wonderland white queen/red queen thing going

[Little Nemo McFly]

My take is a jester from the renaissance? Like, a medieval-thing? I'm getting 'old-ass clown' - that's like, fallen out of an old painting / tapestry or something.

 

Anyone seen the recent images released?

 

Nope. Anything cool? Any publicity shots of the Losers Club?

[Donatella]

Oh hell yeah. I'm on board for this for sure (NZA, ya heard? I wanna see this in theaters!)! That was creepy as hell.

 

But since when is a 2.5 min trailer a "teaser?" I always thought those were like the 15-30 second ones they put before longer trailers in theaters.

Because they have 5 more trailers ready to show you the whole movie in 10 minute intervals.

 

 

Saw the trailer, and I'm super excited for it. There's a lot of people who were naysayers when the first talks about this happened (Tim Curry is god etc), and I hope this "teaser" changed some minds.

What you're saying is this could be the Ledger to Curry's Nicholson?
