I appreciate Pennywise not being a clownlet in this movie

>>86495811
>suprise

You'd have to be a complete fucking retard to be surprised by the $500 million plus that this thing is thing's going to bring in. It's Stranger Things mixed with The Conjuring with a topping of 1980s nostalgia on top. Mix that in with the conveniently timed "clown scare" last year and you've got the most instrumentally obvious pop-hit since Star Wars VII.

I would only be surprised if this thing brought in a billion, as it's rated R and the sheep don't care for horror as much as autist-pandering space opera.

It's gonna be merchandising level shit, too. Fukunaga's script has been skinned and quartered into a focus-group approved jizz gargling turd. Prepare your sweaty and eager wallets for an "IT" cinematic universe.

>>86496083
Do you want a ballon?

>>86495851
His dad. Pennywise isn't a creature in the new movies, it's a demon serial killer in the new canon.

>>86496083
Yeah, but will it be a hit?

>>86496382

You're a fucking idiot.

You'll probably think I'm calling you an idiot because you like the first half of a film and not the second but still refer to it as "good", and that makes you twice the idiot.

IT is not going to be something new or different. It'll be better than the James Wan trash, but will still sit pretty within the confines of Hollywood programming.

If this gets 90%+ on RT, it will make 750million+

>>86495921

>>86496483
i'm going to go see it whether it gets a good score on RT or not. Critics have ruined filmgoing

>>86496483
That has nothing to do with how much money it makes. It just determines whether or not you and your idiot friends wait to pirate it after it's theatrical run.

No. That would be impossible.

>>86496419
Dark Tower was a good movie, just not a good Dark Tower movie

>>86496083

Fukunaga's script was shit mate. I mean it's a decent script in its own right but as an adaptation it's pure and utter trash. This actually looks pretty good so far, and I wouldn't mind a steady stream of decent King adaptations.

>Pet Cematary
>Salem's Lot
>horror anthology in the vein of Trick 'r Treat, featuring his best short stories like The Jaunt, Rats and Crouch End

Sign me up senpai.

>>86496540
Deadzone even got it's own show back in the day that seemed like it had a long run. Clearly some people likes Stephen King's work and think it's enjoyable even if you or even I don't.

>>86496550
I think they want to go for a King cinematic universe, which is why they tied IT and the Dark Tower, and I think I heard Cujo cameoed in The Dark Tower

>>86496506
the mist
Pet sematary
The shining
The green mile
Hearts in atlantis
The running man

Only if they don't puss out and finally add the canon child orgy at the end. It was King's ORIGINAL VISION

>>86496516
It's guaranteed. The fact that it's been made is due to dissatisfaction with the state of theatrical horror films. Firing Fukunaga - who certainly wouldn't have made a masterpiece, but would've at least done something different - solidified this movies spot in the Hollywood Horror genre, but it's still going to pretend like it's a good movie. That'll fool 99% of this board and the fast majority of movie goers out there.

>>86496585
Some of the old King mini series are pretty good. Like IT, The Stand, The Langoliers, and The Golden Years

The Mist, Shawshank Redemption, the Green Mile, Stand By Me

>>86496624
Also Shawshank Redemption, Carrie, Cujo, Dreamcatcher... Steven King obviously has a good track record, and a lot of material ripe for adaptations

>>86496540
Stand By Me and Misery are the only 2 that come close, but are still held back by one thing or another. The rest are trash.

Also Dark Tower was a terrible movie on every level. Not just a bad book adaptation - a convoluted mess of editing-room crunch time that shouldn't exist.

>>86496624
This guy's a lost cause.

Can anyone tell me why everyone compares King to great works of literature and his own works are constantly shit on for being "broad"?

I mean, I can make a thread right now about Zombi 2 and start a decent thread about zombie movies, and no one will think of shitting up the thread with comparisons to W.S. Anderson. But for some reason every time King is brought up (who operates within the same area as horror flicks like Zombi) is somehow held up to other standards. Why is literature the only piece of media that's so hard on simple blood and guts?

>>86496633
>The fact that it's been made is due to dissatisfaction with the state of theatrical horror films
You do know that most people that express that think James Wan is the exception to that, right? He's not a genius or anything but there's a power gap between him and the people shitting out movies like Wish Upon and Happy Death Day.

>>86496550
If you read the script, you'd note that everything in the trailers we've seen was taken from it.

The Shining was a pure and utter trash adaptation of the book. Kubrick took the piss out of it since he saw King as the hack he is and decided he'd crush the cunt under an artistic effort greater than anything he'd ever written.

>>86496643
>The Langoliers
It was a really shitty series but something about a planet flying through an empty nothingness activated my fear almonds.

This new Pennywise has to be the scariest movie monster we've seen in years. Literally years. There's two scenes in this movie that absolutely sent shivers down my spine. First when Pennywise possesses the slideshow and we finally get to see his very creepy and mental face in the final scene. What a build-up! I nearly pissed myself.

The other one is in the basement, first we see the excellent performance by Georgie's actor. You'll float too never has sounded more epically scary. And then Pennywise rises from the waters. I jumped in my chair and still do when watching this. I can tell I will be on the edge of my seat in theatres this september.

>>86496762
It's a golden turd. Low budget, good script, decent actors, and the ending is great

>>86496483

Let me guess, you digest RLM, Doug Walker, Sinema Sins, and Collider too?

>>86496733
In the same way there's a power gap between the guy shitting out things like Get out, Don't Breath and Lights Out and the two non-films you listed.

And most people that express that are idiots who'll watch anything that comes into theaters so long as it has their preferred genre-label.

King is not some literary giant but he has written a fucking metric shit ton of novels and short stories over the years several of which are very good stories. You can try and say he is a bad writer if you'd like but really I've never seen any very convincing arguments as to why. Just seems like the typical hated of the popular.

I think it's because we've been starved of a descent monster. Think of It Follows, or the Paranormal Activity movies, modern contemporary horror gimp out on the monster, makes it feel unbelievable or nit real. The released scene of Pennywise in the gutter is pretty sick

>>86495811

I think it's a stylish movie that won't find an audience.

The recurring theme of movie failures is over-extension. They budgeted too high and it "fails expectations". Well, you set the fucking expectations. You spent the money. You decided it had to be a two-parter movie (obvious risky gamble, even though this particular case might be the best use of it).

At least they didn't fuck it from the outset by tying the Dark Tower albatross around its neck with some CINEMATIC UNIVERSE bullshit.

>>86496652
Criticizing the use of a little boy saying "You'll float too" in generic creepy voices in a trailer has nothing to do with the things you're talking about. I was saying the trailer failed to effectively market the movie, as I'm sure they're not going to feature a little boy saying a pivotal quote in increasingly retarded voices. He'll probably scream it a bunch of times to lead up to a spook.

>>86496925
Wait, it's two parts?

Didn't the trailer break records or something? I don't know about hits but this is literally the only movie my normie friends are excited about this year

>>86496925
>They budgeted too high
its budget is only 30 mil and people are already way more hyped for it than they ever were for Dark Tower.

>>86496795

>>86496843

See what I mean here:
>>86496731

We're talking adaptations of horror books, and you're talking how he's a "hack" that "artists" should rework into "kinos". We're talking horror fiction here friend. They didn't turn The Thing into a fucking character study.

>>86496820
I read it too. It was fine. You don't know much about filmmaking if you think it's garbage. The 1990 IT script was garbage. Star Wars Rogue One's script was garbage. This new IT one would've been fine in the right hands. Instead the hack who made Mama's got it.

Yup.

First part is the kids, second part is the adults and finale. Again, this is probably the best story they could ever use for the two-parter gimmick, but still..

>>86497012

Are people hyped? Really? I see a lot of obvious viral marketing but most people seem to be very cautious.

We're currently in an era where horror movies with 5-20 million dollar budgets and minimal advertising do well. Wiki says 35-45 million. Given the amount of marketing I've seen already I think they're doing more than doubling the final bill, so say around 100 million to break even.

It's definitely doable but it's fucking far from a sure hit. And then they have the other one on a chain tied to it.

>>86496978
admittedly, that trailer is one of the best I've ever seen.

The rule of thumb is doubling the budget. How is it unreasonable to assume given it's a two parter franchise, they wouldn't spend a bit more than the average to promote it?

It will probably make well over it's budget, but that would suck if it flopped and they canned the second half

Pretty damning that it won't have hilarious racism throughout like every King novel.

>>86497064
Not sure I get your point for linking my (the first) post, or any of the points you're trying to make. First you say Fukunaga's script adaptation is shit, then praise the movie we're getting that's using his script. We use Kubrick as an example of a great film born from the process of adapting a trashy horror novel, and you kind of just argue against this act being practiced.

What's your point? That a movie that adapts a book should give up its chances of being a good movie to keep in line with its source material?

Also The Thing was an action movie made by an action movie director.

>>86497271

>then praise the movie we're getting that's using his script.

Hmm? I'm talking about the script where Stan is a goldfish and Pennywise struck a deal with Al Marsh to rape his daughter.

>What's your point?

My point was that horror literature is being held to standards that doesn't match with what it sets out to do, and it's something other media doesn't experience.

>>86497367
I don't consider John Carpenter's horror movies to be horror movies. The man's an action movie auteur. He brought it to all his movies without fail. The Thing was the masterpiece of his style.

I suppose if you consider Gremlins to be horrific, Carpenter's movies fall into the genre too.

>>86496530
He's saying that if it gets 90+ on RT then it also likely will be getting fantastic word of mouth.

>>86497334

>This shit is going to end up making $120-150M at least, just in the US. I think we have a money printer right here, lads

You realize that if a movie grosses $120-150 million at the domestic box office, the studio gets ~55% of that money, rest goes to the theatres, and even less money goes to the studio from the foreign gross.

That said, I think this will do well, and if it does $120-$150 million domestically then that is still good for a movie which cost ~$40 million+promotion.

>>86497436

To add to this, The Shing is indeed a great film. But there are somethings the book does better, including characterisation. The film can only be appreciated in a cold, film-theory kind of way, whereas the book has more heart and overall is more enjoyable. Kubrick is for connoisseurs, King is for the everyday man. Doesn't mean the latter is bad, or that a film adaptation of the latter should always strive for the former.

>>86497472
Halloween is nothing but a horror movie, Village of the damned too

>>86497132
>Are people hyped? Really? I see a lot of obvious viral marketing but most people seem to be very cautious.

Im sure all the trailer views are just from a bot farm in China, too.

Im reading the script now
Its pretty brazy cuz It is just in the kids houses and likes fucking with them to scare them so they taste better and he can overpower them (since It is actually really weak unless they're afraid).

Like It just goes into their house and like into their bedrooms and trolls them all day. Like in that scene he has his brothers corpse and then he floods the basement and makes Will go into the basement and then he sock puppets the bros body and then jumps out like OOOGA BOOGA BOOGA STOOPID DOG and then Will runs away all scare and thats the whole point. sick sadistic childish shit to scare a child that the clown guy actually enjoys doing. hes like that tails gets trolled comic where bugs bunny acts all gay and retarded

>>86497436
No idea what you mean by Stan being a goldfish, but the attempted rape scene worked well as a kick-off point for the final assault.

I have no clue where you've gotten this idea about horror literature being held to standards beyond what art is capable of accomplishing. A good movie is a good movie. A good book is a good book. The two are apples and oranges - completely separate art forms.

If the book in question is only being adapted because of the name attached to it and because a shit 1990 adaptation of it is engrained in the collective millennial memory - and not because it's a good book with a brilliant story worth telling and retelling - changes need to be made to make it better. If someone wants to make a good movie, and every director nowadays does, then they need to trim and fluff where they can with stuff like this.

It's called reality of economics, you know that those terms GROSS and NET, look them up.

Just because facts don't line up what your hopes doesn't make them disappear:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/

>Production Budget in millions. On average, studios earn approximately 55 percent of the final gross.

So, if IT makes $120 million it DOES NOT mean that it actually makes 3 times it's budget in for the studio, because again they only get slightly more than half of that money.

Only in your dream world where the theatres play these movies without making any money themselves is this true

I know that, that's the reason we have the "WORLDWIDE gross 2x the budget " rule. If this makes $350M worldwide, and it's not that hard to imagine it will, it's going to make ten times its budget worldwide. Even accounting the distro costs and marketing, that's a ROI of more than 300% before home video sales and tv/netflix licensing. That would be a massive hit, just massive. Expect a King cinematic universe if that happens

>>86498480
The old one was a miniseries, direct to tv, meaning they could´t translate a lot of the content the book has.
This is a proper movie and is R rated, so they can be more faithful to the book and do a lot of things they could´t before.

I wanna see it but less as a horror but more as a weird, 80s sci-fi slasher movie, i know the whole 80s nostalgia meme is audience bait but i fall for it easily

>>86498718
It´s not a reimagining, this version is how the book describes it, eyes changing color with a silver suit.

>The clown ... looked like a cross between Ronald McDonald and that old TV clown, Bozo — or so he thought at first. It was the wild tufts of orange hair that brought such comparisons to mind. But later consideration had caused him to think the clown really looked like neither. The smile painted over the white pancake was red, not orange, and the eyes were a weird shiny silver. ... He wore a baggy suit with big orange pom-poms; on his hands were cartoon gloves

Closer to King's vision, plus the book was never 90s cheese like that shitty miniseries, it was always edgy and dark

Just because its closer to Stephen Kangz autistic vision doesn't mean its any less silly.

The miniseries is absolute shit dude take off the nostalgia goggles

Shining still stands up because it didn't rely on a sole performance, and it was directed and written by a competent filmmaker

I'd prefer they go their own way rather than strictly follow King, but it's nice to see certain elements of his stuff there

>AHAHAHAHA
Opinion disgarded.

I distinctly recall the first miniseries from when I was a kid in the 90s. It scared the hell out of me but I also remember it because it was the first time in my life that I though: "wow this is absolute shit". Like it was the first thing I registered as awful, before that I guess I liked some things over others but I wasn't using this qualifier, I wasn't thinking in absolute terms about the quality of the shit I watched.

That's right friendos, the 8 year old me, the same guy who though the straight for video Aladdin sequel and the Power Rangers tv show were the best things ever, had better taste than some of you right now. Let that shit sink in for a minute. This new movie looks better than that piece of shit by orders of magnitude

>>86499973
Okay, how about the kids portion of the story was pretty shoddily acted and written just to play it safe for a tv audience (which defeats the point of the novel) and then the adult part is even worse, leading to one of the most disappointing conclusions in film history

Not to mention Curry's celebrated performance comes across more comedic with age than it does scary, what does the fucking clown do to "scare" you other than go "boo also balloons and floating" then fuck off? He's meant to be a carnivorous alien monster, not a fucking jumpscare machine

>>86500010

Most of the troubles behind the scenes with Fukunaga behind the scenes which raise a lot of red flags about the studio interference to enthusiasts are not common knowledge to the average movie go-er, and the same goes to their very mediocre choice of director to replace him. Also, to the credit of the studio the marketing for the movie in general has been very good. Couple that with Stranger Things making the "80's kids in a spooky situation" thing trendy again, and I'd say it's an extremely safe bet that It will do good numbers.

Horror fans arn't the ones going out to see these, it's normalfags and teenagers who don't know any better and just want to be spooked by jump scares.

Actual horror fans watch mostly straight to VOD/DVD or film festival stuff put out by IFC, Magnet, Shout Factory, etc. because where all of the real gems are. 99% of the stuff that get's a mainstream wide release is trash.

And like 80% of that trash is produced by the same studio, Blumhouse.

is /tv/ actually hyped for this movie?

They're predicting $50 mil and that's early tracking from like, last week. I'd be shocked if it didn't open to more than $55-60.

People under-estimate the hype on it, and given WB's record of opening horror pictures to huge numbers (like last weekend's Annabelle) or the Conjuring films) I think they know how to get asses in seats

>>86504509

I bet, based on the likely huge opening weekend, they have something ready to go within the month like an announcement

>>86504400
I think so, too. People I work with have all talked about making it a point to see IT.

What is it about the original TV-miniseries/movie that makes it so creepy?

It might not be a 'scary' movie but there is something very unsettling about it kind of like the original 'Exorcist'. I just cant put my finger on it.

>>86503321

IT was tryhard and edgy in the book. I think the TV series messed up your memory.

>>86505275

for you

>>86505317

no he wasnt

he was literally every universal monster and paul bunyan and rhodan at somepoint

>>86507211

He feeds on fear, the whole point was him doing his best trying to scare the shit out of every single one of these kids. Turning into werewolves, mummies even the creature from the black lagoon. He was that tryhard.

>>86503205

You mean the old version. He's nowhere near "childish and cute" now -- nowhere.

>>86507400

yea maybe

aside from one or two kinda dumb-looking shots (like when pennywise rushes directly towards the camera in the clowndoll room), it (2017) looks like it's gonna deliver some tip top horror kino desu

and it seems like it's gonna be pretty inspired visually, too, like how pennywise's eyesockets are empty in the reflection in pic related, and how it's all googly-eyed and shit, visually emphasizing that the clown-thing is just an arbitrary corporeal shape worn like a costume by an eldritch predator from outside of time and space, but i'm partial to subtle neat touches like that

Why did It sometimes call itself Bob Gray?

>>86515087
I really liked the feature of the reflection not having eyes, revealing the artifice of the Pennywise form.
But they fixed it in the next trailer, so I don't think it was intentional.

>>86503205
Just watched this for the 3rd or 4th time and it's gotten better with each viewing tbhfams

Skarsgård's performance is perfectly eerie, off and uncanny, and the whole scene is very tight

I especially like the 'pop-pop-pop', the 'bill's gonna kill you', and the way it hisses like a serpent when georgie leans in at the very end of the clip

color me positively inclined for this flick

>>86496752
But fukunga took the decent dialogue that was basically directly from the book and made it even shittier and awkward sounding. Also his edginess would've gotten the movie a nc17 rating. He does have good cinematic shots though

>>86515312
>But they fixed it in the next trailer
wow, really ?

wel atleast it's still googly-eyed, visually communicating that the eyes are just there for show, like those of a puppet, part of the artifice, and it doesn't acually need them to see

Are the kids circumcised

>>86515510
Saw this clip at the movies this weekend. It's every bit as impressive as you'd expect it to be on the big screen.

My favorite bit is where Pennywise forgets he's pretending to be a clown for a second and just stares a hole through Georgie. Fucking creepy as hell.
