Red facial design? I'm not sure I know what you mean.

As far as the adult counterparts... I haven't really given it much thought. To be honest, I'm never one to speculate on that sort of thing just because I wouldn't really know. I'll have to think about it, though, and see if maybe anybody comes to mind. I will say one thing that would be really funny.... Imagine if the funny kid (I can't remember his name, Richie, I think) as an adult character is played by Seth Green, That would be pretty funny because Seth Green played the funny kid as a kid in the original.

Part 2 is out in 2019. That's so far away, though.

That would be an awesome casting choice.... genius. I bet they won't even consider it, hope he himself pushes himself into the casting for part 2.

GD with all the trolling & spam on here especially in OT :[ Least this section got spared ( for now!!!!)

I thought the movie was a solid 7 and Stephen King clearly approved of it & was a decent adaptation of his novel and a step up from what they were able to deliver in the mini-series but it needed MORE MORE MORE. I know others felt this too, on here and among friends who saw it too. I did think the new Pennywise was a lot more unpredictable compared to the Tim Curry version he played as pennywise & I enjoyed that other level of oddness. I know it is a "horror like" movie but I could have used some more laughs like the original had, just one kid brought the laughs & fell short, didn't it? This version of IT was more stylish & polished compared to the other one ~ so for that, it will become a cult classic for a new generation, good or bad.

Thought I would leave this here for some discussion :

https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1696799/who-the-young-it-stars-want-to-play-the-adult-versions-of-their-characters

If Chris Pratt ( cannot stand him ~ groans!!!!) gets it I don't think I'll watch it. Anyone, literally anyone else Please.

I actually really like Chris Pratt, so I wouldn't mind him being in it. Though, he's already got plenty of big roles, so if I was really given the choice I think I'd prefer he not be selected. Again, I like him and would be just fine with the choice, but I think I'd rather see somebody else. He's already Starlord, the dude in the new Jurassic Park movies, and other stuff as well.

Nooooooooooo ~ why you like him? I think he is too obvious a choice & for that, I don't want him. Plus, he isn't much of a dramatic actor, maybe comedic TV actor. I want someone who can really bring the ACTING chops to it.

Also read somewhere that Tobey Maguire should play Bill. OH f_uck no. Hate him too.

On the contrary, I would personally ask why you don't like him. LOL! It is all a matter of opinion. I happen to really like Chris Pratt largely in part because I think he can actually bring both the funny, light-hearted goofyness I love, yet at the same time can bring the serious acting when needed. I thought he did really well with some heart-wrenching scenes in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. I would not be disappointed if he were chosen... but like I said, I do think I'd rather see it be somebody else. Just because he is already in a lot of stuff as it is.

I don't mind Tobey Maguire either. What do you not like about him? But, I will say.... even though I like him I think I'd actually agree that I'd prefer he not be in this. Again, I don't think I'd be hecka peeved if they DID cast him, but to me personally he just doesn't have the right feel for this.

Tobey Maguire is supposed to be the asshole poker player in Molly's Game movie. Who is an addicted gambler and overall asshole who would bring his rich celeb friends in the game of high stakes poker like Leo DiCaprio to lure in rich players so he could get their money.

Not really on topic, but just wanted to get this off my chest. Why have me be a member for over 5 years, just to lose my account to that asshole? And the fact this place has no moderation team whatsoever is ridiculous. I know some users have liked posting here for a long time, maybe longer than I've been here. But it will be as good as dead if you don't have moderators. And I really do suggest you turn off registration and make this an invitation-only site, because you'll never get rid of this guy otherwise.

As you can see, most of the responders aren't helpful, or I suspect they are as bad as he is.

This abuser has links to all of my topics across many forums and uses it to follow me around and post details on here. Gimpy really needs to be banned, as this is getting way carried away now that he is impersonating me. I suffer from anxiety and can't enjoy forums anymore because of this asshole.

Well, all of Love Forum wants you to piss off regardless. We don't care about your precious, hurt feelings. We do care that your face gets run over by a road roller - actually.

Abusers like you should be shot, Limpy. I'm definitely going to put you on ignore so I can go about posting because, despite what you may think, the posters here do welcome my contributions. Unlike yours.

Dude, get laid or something. Nobody cares. I'm done replying to you for good now, because you're a load your mother was supposed to swallow (you weren't a planned kid).

When's the last time for you with one that wasn't a hooker?

That is a very mean thing to say about somebody who suffers from autism and anxiety. Your abuse has crossed the line before so I can't be too surprised. Limpy is a shit person who just needs to lay in front of a trolley, ya?

Christopher Morse lives at 5 Jefferson PL Moonachie, so he ain't a full shilling either!

Do you guys think Gimpy wasn't loved enough as a lad? He's got nothing better to do than bother a forum that has no moderators. This guy is a total loon who needs to piss off already. None of us want you here!

We can play these mind games allllll night.

play it in another thread. peter isn't even part of this group to review he was asked by topazlight, creator and he told her no. so if he won't respect this thread maybe you other guys can.

i don't mind chris pratt either for ben, but i never enjoyed tobey's speaking voice, so annoying and for that i'd hate for him to be in the next part of the it franchise.

Honestly, Tobey Maguire still looks like a freaking kid too. LOL! I kind of feel like it would look too weird, if you ask me. The next movie will be them as adults. Sure, he IS an adult... but he's too dang baby-faced.

Poor ole IT movie didn't get any best picture noms or acting noms. Completely shut out. Just for makeup, sound editing, visual effects they should have got something????

Well, I mean, I wouldn't really say it was a movie for good acting. LOL! Horror movies pretty much never get a nomination for that. Not best picture either. The award shows are so rarely any indication of the general public's opinions, viewing tendencies, etc.

But, to be honest, most horror movies don't exactly have great acting per se, but in many cases because it just has no place in certain kinds of horror movies. You aren't going to have a movie about an evil force that poses as a clown to torment and kill children and get Academy Award winning acting. LOL!

[MENTION=71386]TheEvilJester[/MENTION] ~ he just annoys the hell out of me. His face, his acting, even add the fact he left his wife because she wanted another child & he wanted to build his career instead & she put her career on the slow down for him & their family & he stepped his up, which is cool but you don't throw your family away because of it, so made me think he was using her as a stepping stone.

I was shocked it didn't get a special effects Oscar nomination too.

- - - Updated - - -

IT* ...................

Wait, are we talking about Tobey Maguire there? Or Chris Pratt? Either way, I hadn't heard about that and definitely agree that isn't cool. I agree that it is great to want to build your career, but you don't throw your family away for that. Heck, I don't even necessarily understand why he'd even think he'd have to anyway. Whether we are talking about Maguire or Pratt, both of them are already pretty big stars. Besides, sure it isn't ideal (you are away from your family a lot), but a lot of Hollywood stars find a way to make it work.

Thanks to all who have posted on this movie! Been a difficult time for me and wasn't up to logging in recently and when I last did feel up to it there was what looked like Chinese spam on the website and assumed a virus was on here again, so I didn't bother even logging in. Now today I do log in and find flithy disgusting porn on another of my threads.

I liked the new IT movie. Would rate it a 8/10 with some minor issues to me but not even to star it down too much.

As having read some other comments I also am more interested in the Part 2 of this movie with the adult characters. More mature concerns/concepts. The current movie is very childhood driven as expected but was extremely similar to the t.v series Stranger Things which I am sure they stole parts from King's book and original IT movie and Stand by Me movie.

- - - Updated - - -

I really enjoyed the look of the movie, and the high level of acting we got and that scene where Georgie was killed. OMG so well done and memorable movie moments. I still stand by Pennywise mumbling and took a rating done for that for me, hoping next movie he speaks clearer.

- - - Updated - - -

Most memorable characters in IT for me would be: Pennywise, Ben, Beverly and Eddie. The rest meh. I think it was Beverly would to me was the leader not Bill.

On the discussion of who should play Ben, I recall reading on a movie site they thought John Krasinski should because they thought him similar to the actor John Ritter who played Ben apparently in the mini-series. He is a likable actor and I wouldn't mind that choice, anyone else?

I could see that. I wouldn't mind that. He's a big enough name (from The Office and all) without feeling like TOO big a name. Plus, I could see him doing well with the role. So, I'd be fine with that.

I would enjoy him as Ben also.

Did you all here that Jessica Chastain campaigned for the Beverly role and is friends with the director. So positive she will be in IT 2 cast.

Why we still on the IT movie? Its been 3 months its time to move on.

Groans on Chastain hahaha.... but I think Jffs24 wanted her as Beverly but not 100% sure but think he stated that early on.

[MENTION=42177]pcmaster[/MENTION]..I think because the thread is still open is why...and the two new club members never really posted their reviews yet, so maybe another reason why? IDK just a thought...did you read topaz's comment in big club thread? she asked who wanted to continue movie group and only I replied... so if you want maybe suggest a new movie to review or make a poll to vote on for the new season and get it going.

I'm just a randomer so I post where I want, not even part of your movie group but topazlight said if I saw any movies you all were reviewing I could join in the discussions too. Why I was still discussing stuff in this thread.

Anybody and everybody is welcome to discuss. It's not like you have to be a card carrying, secret handshake knowing member of the group. (We totally have both of those things. LOL!) You can discuss without officially joining. Though, if you do wish to join you have to go through our initiation. It involves beating somebody up with your favorite movie prop. (That part, I'm probably making up. :D )

Thank you, Jester. Will you guys review the 2nd part, or will this forum still exisit then? If it does I'll join in again on it.

Hey all ~ been awhile since I logged in. waiting for all that pathetic spam to stop TBH. I re watched IT online copy hehehe on second watch I enjoyed maybe even more. Did it not qualify for 2018 Oscars? Because the visual effects were good & as mentioned should have got a few nominations. I really loved the Beverly character & don't want that particular actress in the role, she doesn't seem to be able to make her characters sympathetic they all seem cold.

Bump for Topaz in case she wants to post back in this.

We can call this one finished and excited to move on to Season 9 and review whichever movie Breathe123 picks for us.

I know you called this thread but they got some final casting for the movie part 2.

Bill Hader - Richie
James McAvoy - Bill
Jessica Chastain - Beverly
James Ransone - Eddie
