WELCOME TO DERRY: HBO Max Gives IT Prequel A Straight-To-Series Order Pennywise is set to return, but this time he'll be terrorizing the small screen. HBO Max has given the planned It prequel show, Welcome to Derry, an official series order... "You'll float too!" Last year, the news broke that Warner Bros. was working on an It prequel series for the HBO Max streaming service which would delve into the backstory of the demonic (possibly alien) entity known as Pennywise, and the show is now officially moving forward. The trades are reporting that the streamer has given the project, which has the working title Welcome to Derry, a straight-to-series order. It Parts 1 and 2 filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti are on board along with Jason Fuchs (It: Chapter Two) . Andy will also direct multiple instalments of the series, including the first episode Specific plot details are still under wraps, but the show is expected to serve as a prequel story that will “expand the vision” of the recent movies. “As teenagers, we took turns reading chapters of Stephen King’s It until the thick paperback fell to pieces,” the Muschiettis said in a statement. “It is an epic story that contains multitudes, far beyond what we could explore in our It movies. We can’t wait to share the depths of Steve’s novel, in all its heart, humor, humanity and horror.” “I’m excited that the story of Derry, Maine’s most haunted city, is continuing, and I’m glad Andy Muschietti is going to be overseeing the frightening festivities, along with a brain trust including his talented sister, Barbara,” added author Stephen King. “Red balloons all around!”
hopefully the writing is good and it’s not essentially a remake of the 1st movie with different characters
the mystery…the suspense…the adrenaline rush…the emotions it can invoke from nervousness, to anxiety, to dread, to fear, to disgust, to sadness the creativity from the kills to the creature designs etc isn’t something you’ll see in any other genre the ability to immerse yourself in the situation if it’s well written it’s my favorite genre
Yeah, I absolutely cannot stand the slasher or torture p*rn type, but atmospheric creepy stuff is right in my wheelhouse.
it's made for us kids who dun fukk wit clowns. nope. i see them. i run the other way. fukk bday parties with clowns, they're not funny and they can kill you.
Coulrophobia That's the one thing that's good about mimes, you can kick their ass and they won't make a sound.
