EDIT: misread

 

[steejee]

I grossly misread the thread title and thought we were going to get an It prequel set in Derry, Ireland, with certain ladies...

Edit: Clarifying which Derry

 

[Joshua]

Ok, that's a good start! We don't know the initial time period of this one yet, right?

Sorry, should clarify that what I meant was I was linking it to 'Derry Girls', so Derry, Ireland with a WAY different tone :p

 

[ZeoVGM]

James Remar is great. Happy to see him land something big after Black Lightning.

This is also a show I would really love to see.

Had no idea he's in Oppenheimer as well.

Oh, nice.

Dude has like a top 5 voice in Hollywood.

 

[Tappin Brews]

Could be cool. The time period of flash back Derry was always my favorite part of it

 

[Elliott]

Keep whoever the fuck wrote Chapter 2 away from this.

Chris Chalk is a great actor.

Still no word if Skarsgard will be back?

Ah dang. Hadn't read anything about that. Oh well. I'll still watch it of course, but loved his portrayal of the character.

[Lbbaker]

It's going to be a real uphill battle finding someone as good as Skarsgard to play Pennywise.

 

[WarMacheen]

I didn't know this was a thing, now that I know it's a thing, I can't wait for thing.

 

[Tanaka]

I think this idea could be really cool as an almost anthology series rather than a serial. So many good small scale stories from the derry interludes.

All of them! Probably not, but I could see it working. There's no reason Pennywise has to stick to a single form, is there?

I wasn't familiar with him till Perry Mason but he's REALLY impressed me in it. He's magnetic

Thanks for sharing! Curious to see who they'll cast for that particular role then. Big shoes to fill.

I'm here to rescind the criminal lack of appreciation of Jovan Adepo in this thread so far. Dude has been consistently great in every acting role I've seen him in.
