My son has a huge fear of clowns.

Great trailer.

 

You heard about this?

And kids, just like the book.

No idea how this will handle the source material.

Dolls creep me out
Mimes piss me off
Clowns scare the hell out of me

Lee confirmed that the plan is for It to be two films, both of which will be rated R. The first film will focus on the "Loser's Club" half of the story (that's the portion of the novel dealing with the kids), while the second will pick up decades later, with the now middle-aged "Losers" reuniting to take on Pennywise The Clown in their old hometown. Interestingly, Lee notes that the films could eventually be re-cut into one film, to more properly mirror the structure of King's novel.

 

Yeah that was pretty creepy.

 

Sweet. Don't need to reinvent the wheel with this remake to make it scary.

 

Bought the book today and am going to re-read it before the movie. Good lord, its 1500+ pages. I forgot how detailed King can be...

 

the stand is GOAT!

 

I will go see it.

Can't believe some of you are such pansies.

Why would you want to do this to yourself? Why not just watch the movie without reading the book? I mean, MOST movies don't have books written before they're on the big screen, but... in my opinion, this defeats the purpose.

Nothing against what you're doing and, be my guest, but I'm wondering why people don't just go to the movies to watch a dang movie instead of talking about how "comics did this" or "the book did that"... you know?

Just go enjoy the movie.

 

I read it 30 years ago so its a re-read.

 

Have fun with...

Spoiler

The teenage unprotected gang bang

 

That's a solid topic for a thread one of these days....ranking King books.

 

**** no. The mini series scared the **** out of me as a kid and I haven't rewatched it since. I'm not even watching this preview.

 

Once I saw the preliminary pics of the clown I thought it was stupid. Then I watched that trailer and was genuinely creeped out a bit.

I rewatched the miniseries a few years ago, it does not hold up well at all.

 

My wife watched the preview and called me a pu$&y. I'm sure I could watch the miniseries with a group and probably get a good chuckle out of it, but that was terrifying when I was 9.

 

gonna try to watch it in a bad neighborhood so the people will be loud and talking throughout the film. it'll distract me from getting way into the story. the only way to watch a real scary movie.

 

So your going to Katy?

 

It's a great novel, no argument there, but GOAT? I would put Lonesome Dove as well as The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings ahead of it, and Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander series, which I view as one very long fantastic Napoleonic Era work of historical fiction. Heck, I'll toss in Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom series (which I like more than his terrific Richard Sharpe series), something else that I think is more a long form of novel, than a series of novels (yeah, I can be weird that way). Freely admit that the genre's are different, to be fair.

 

i was more talking about stephen king novels. i havent read nearly enough books to know which book is the real GOAT hehe

 

I don't do lunatic clowns. Sorry.
