Upcoming movie movie trailer discussion

Feeling a bit ambivalent about this. Loved the book, hated the television adaptation (1990 mini-series) although, Tim Curry's performance was entertaining enough. This trans-dimensional murder-clown doesn't seem nearly as frightening. Anyhow, I will most definitely pay full-ticket price to watch.

Btw, this adaption takes place in the 1980's, instead of the 50's. Still Derry, though.

Um, the original was set in both the 80s and the 50s. Are you saying the childhood scenes are in the 80s and the adulthood scenes are set in the 2010s?

The original book, and first adaptation flashes between the members of the Loser's Club confronting Pennywise as children in 1950's Derry, and 'present time' as adults; approximately thirty years later, when the entity reawakens/resurfaces. The original novel was published in 1986, and the mini-series aired in 1990.

In the upcoming film, the backdrop for the Loser's Club's childhood confrontations with the clown is 1980's Derry. Make of that what you will.

I love to obsess over trailers of movies I find interesting.

I thought it'd be nice to have a thread to discuss upcoming movies that look intriguing to you, and what we expect from them.

I've very excited about the up and coming Mr. Bean horror!

They fucked it up... the clown isn't supposed to be scary though he is to supposed to look friendly enough 
while at the same time acting insane like the joker. 

innocent enough 

still innocent enough

scary in a sort of way (im not scared) but if you know his true form then yes
but in reality lets look at it from a lore point of view. The monster has to look friendly enough and not scary 
because it eats children and if a child sees this. 

i seriously fucking doubt i really doubt they would even want to be around it even the kid who gets aten
in the remake sees this.

do you fucking think any child would just take the ballon from the guy or even be near it hell NO
on the other hand a kid sees this.

the answer is yes because one is less horrific than the other. 
So my answer should be Georgie in the remake should be alive because there is no way 
in the remake that kid should die from new pennywise considering how demented he looks.

Is this a mini-series or have they plucked the chicken to make it a movie?

The 80's are the new 50's, apparently.

I'm not thrilled about this.  Curry was the perfect Pennywise.  The TV series already did a good and faithful adaptation of the book.  I'm getting tired of remakes of movies that don't need remaking.
