I hated that stupid fukking movie.
Eli Roth is on thin ice with me. If Green Inferno and Knock Knock are terrible then I am not even going to bother with movies with his name on them anymore.

I don't have hope for either. :laugh: I only read a handful of reviews for Knock Knock and they painted it as being all over the place.

James wan low key one of my favorite directors.

Death sentence was under rated as hell.

fukk it, get wan to remake IT. He'd probably make a better IT movie with a $5million budget than other directors would with $50 million.

Wouldn't even be surprised if it happens this way. lol

I was looking forward for Cary vision of the book. No offense but "It" is an book that cannot be watered down at all for adaption. Im actually reading this book over again at the moment and its fukking dope. I mean new line trying to be cheap with the budget because an wack ass remake that did not perform well. Nobody wanted to see that shyt anyway Cary's adaption was gonna put horror back on the map.

Apparently Cary Fukunaga, the director of True Detective's first season and possibly the main creative force behind the film adaptation of IT, is out and the studio has put the film on hold indefinitely. Now of course a director leaving a project is nothing new and it happens all the time, especially when it comes to the budget and the studio wanted to cut the budget for this one and he refused to budge. But here's why they wanted to cut the budget:

They're putting the project on hold because another horror movie featuring a clown didn't fare well at the box office therefore, audiences must not like horror movies about clowns. This is why all the talks about studio execs being insidious and having it out for us and being calculated are clearly overblown. As batman would say, they're a cowardly and superstitious lot.

I mean..what the hell :deadrose:

i was looking forward to the more alternative creatures/shapes rather than Pennywise the clown; the cyclops, dracula, the corpse etc..
It's been a while since I read the book so I don't remember Dracula or the cyclops, but I do remember shyt like the creature from the black lagoon, the Wolfman, the mummy, and the giant bird at the old factory, and was looking forward to how they would transfer all that to film, especially with all of his forms still having elements of pennywise in them. Would love to have seen how the trip to the old abandoned house by the group would have been shot.

Poltergeist looked like a straight to Sci-Fi film.
Not surprised people didn't spend money to go see that.
