Agreed. Didn't have high hopes at all for this, and still a bit wary (trailers and all that shit), but crossing fingers that this might be one of the better adaptations. May even be as good as Christine. At least it looks hands down better then The Dark Tower bullshit, so that's a plus.

I am cautiously optimistic about this.
Mainly taking the kids to see it in order to freak them out about clowns for the rest of their lives. Parenting is fun.

You can see Patrick Hockstetter in the trailer including a missing persons poster on a poll for him but it does seem very unlikely he'll be wanking off Henry Bowers while Beverly watches and gets all misty when she realizes Bill also has a dick just like the boys she is spying on.
I just reread the thing again in the Spring and boy did all of the flaws really come out this last time.

No way this ends up being good. If its a straight up remake of the original TV version, then you are cramming an already condensed story down to at least half of its original length and discarding some iconic performances from the original (no one is going to top Curry). If you are going to get more material out of the book, its either going to go over audiences heads (the Turtle) or have to dig into the pedo shit. It also worked because at the time the TV mini series came out there were enough boomers out there who could get into the 1950s noir that the series had and the main cast were all people that the audience had solid nostalgia connections with.
Some classics should simply not be touched or remade.

no, its doable, they only are doing the childhood aspect this movie which i presume takes place 28 years ago. then i guess they can always do the sequel which is present day. the childhood version far exceeded the grown up stuff.
