Stephen King's IT (Remake)

Yeah...I get the same feeling.... time will tell, for sure.

I thought that the original was really great. In fact, it's probably one of the several movies that I would not mind watching over again and again just because of how much satisfaction it brings to me each time. However, I would not rule out as the remake being bad, hell, i'll even go and watch it when it comes out probably.

I just hope the wait won't be as long as when HP: Deathly Hallows came out.

Cary Fukunaga is still going ahead with the project... set to start filming within the next couple weeks/months.


Here's the real downer though... the cast:


Mediocre actresses Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly... judging by this it means they've sex-lifted some of the characters seeing as IT only had one female character.
Fukunaga has even admitted to changing character names.


Guys on board:
Vince "One Trick" Vaughn
Taylor "Box Office Poison" Kitsch


... and...


Colin "I only appear in crap remakes and even worse sequels" Farrell


This movie is going to be a total sh*tfest and an insult to Stephen King.

The first one was great!


This sounds like something I would probably sleep through.


Why bother with it.

There should be a section of Movie Forums just for remakes. There's just too many of them.

Hardly mediocre, certainly not Kelly Reilly anyway.

With all these new female actresses replacing male characters in the new It, they are gonna get Melissa McCarthy for the clown -- right?

I forgive the 90's version. It was a made for TV movie, so you could only go so far. With that said, I find Tim Curry to be absolutely creepy and scary. I wouldn't mind seeing him get the role again with an R-rating (despite his age).

tim curry was definitely creepy and scary, it was a really great movie.

Looks like they have their clown. I think it's odd but interesting casting if he's got the part, he's a brilliant actor:

Cary Fukunaga has left the project just weeks before shooting was scheduled.


Will Poulter ^^ who was cast as Pennywise by Fukunaga is also looking at being a doubt as well now.


The film is now in hiatus, thank God. Poulter would probably have made a good Pennywise, but the rest of the cast was complete gash.

Rodent - Just realised, every cast member you mentioned above is the cast of True Detective series 2, think you got mixed up there...

Really?


Hmm, I got my info from a few sources. Off the top of my head, Screenrant and Forbes.

I guess someone was messing about then.
Never watched True Detective though.
