Stephen King's IT (Parts 1 and 2)

New Line Cinema will be releasing a new adaptation of Stephen King's horror classic. Directed by Cary Fukunaga (True Detective), no release date has been set. No word though whether if it will be theatrical or as a television two parter.

Jessica Chastain in talks to play adult Beverly in Part 2.

Pretty cool. It needs a tv mini series adaption in my opinion. One or two movies is not really enough. The book is mamouth.

Oh that post is from 2014...ok well, hope part 2 is good. Part one was good. Nothing special though.

In an interview Sophia Lillis (Beverly) said she wanted Jessica Chastain to play her in the sequal, in that interview Finn Wolfhard (Richie) wanted Bill Hader to play him and Jack Dylan Grazer (Eddie) would like Jake Gyllenhaal and I hope both those also end up happening

I was (am) hoping for a lesser known cast.

For example - Corey Stoll as Bill, Sterling K. Brown as Mike, David Dastmalchian as Richie and Scoot McNairy as Stanley.

I guess Chastain was inevitable, though.

Hope it happens, brilliant casting.

Woah, she's beautiful. Never seen her in anything though.

She's been in a bakers dozen of popular well received films over the past 5-6 years. Are you sure you haven't seen her in anything?

Molly's Game
Zookeepers Daughter
Miss Sloane
Crimson Peak
The Martian
A Most Violent Year
Interstellar
Mama
Zero Dark Thirty
Lawless
The Help
Tree of Life
Take Shelter
The Debt

Hashtag don’t know Chastain?

Are you sure? She looks slightly different in that pic...

They should’a cast Amy Adams as Beverly, then the creepy pharmacist would’a been right about her looking like Lois Lane.

Oh, my mistake! I did see her in that.

You gotta see Tree of Life. Or Zero Dark Thirty. At least A Most Violent Year.

Her best performance is Take Shelter.

James McAvoy and Bill Hader in talks to play adult Bill and Richie, respectively.

Chastain is officially onboard as Beverly.

I'm down with this possible casting as I like both McAvoy and Hader quite a bit. I've been watching a new show on HBO called Barry, starring Hader as a hitman who gets the acting bug with a local community group. It's dark comedy but Hader can play serious real well. I didn't see The Skeleton Twins so I don't know how he played the dramatic part in that but by all accounts I've heard, he was pretty good. So he'll be doing the funny guy, Richie, but having to deal with the seriousness of a monster. Can't wait to hear the rest of the casting. Please, even though I like him, no Kevin Hart for Mike Hanlon. I kid! But you never know with Hollywood.

The first thing I said when I saw the first movie was that Sophie looks EXACTLY like Amy Adams.

Hoping for the best..!!! Very excited about it.

IT's the best damn horror movie I've ever seen. And it's the best movie of 2017 as far as I'm concerned. AND it's the best Stephen King movie.
