So they cancelled the IT movie but here's why

[Art Barr]

Ruin the ability to Reignite an entire generation.
into being a consumer of the highest profitable genre in movie history, breh.

With it, you could create a whole gen of seventeen year old moviegoers and then bridge the gap with the adult direction based sequel.

Execs are inept and this idea of spreadsheet marketing in the future will be why.
after they have exasperated comic book movies as a draw.
no, real large diverse box office types will produce box office draws.

There's no point if Cary Fukunaga wont do it. Best to just let it die.

This just shows you how out-of-touch and corny Hollyweird is

...them Joo CaCs couldn't fathom Poltergeist, and the rest of those struggle remakes of 80s GOAT PIFF was a bad idea; especially relabelling the shyt Pg-13

Lowkey, I'm still waiting on King's Cell to be made into a movie, tho

New director. Now to wait and see

That is a pretty solid indication this won't be worth seeing...or barely worth seeing, as 'Mama' was trash, with few interesting ideas and fewer scares.... With Cary Fukogawka, I would expect it would be a gorgeously directed, horrifyingly beautiful, that really portrayed the childhood scenes with the weight of their own movie, a childhood fairy tale with a monster at the end and ever present...I would also expect it to be long, somewhat expensive, very artistic...and the studios with their eyes on the bottomline, and in perfect alingment with almost every horror remake we have seen want cheap, easy, flimsy movies that are profitable for the studio, and vanish into the vaults of uninspired trash that turns up year in and year out.

At this point I don't care. This remake has been Detox status. As long as something hits the theatres in 2017, I'll be

i watched Poltergeist(re-make)...sht sucked. The original was creepy as fck, the re-make lacked that feel.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Mama was okay but cgi just isnt scary. If mama was done with practical effects it would have been a 100 times better.

 

[showtime]

This is gonna flop hard with this new director . Mama was trash it was basically a lifetime movie. They will make the first movie and it will do so poorly either the second will be straight to bluray or not even released

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Poltergeist sucked because it was PG or some shyt

 

[Deltron]

Poltergeist sucked because it was PG or some shyt

I'm assuming you're talking about the remake? I think it's PG-13...but the original was PG (but this was before PG-13)

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Poltergeist sucked because it was PG or some shyt

so was the original..

My post from the other IT thread:

The project, now at New Line, was most recently going to be directed by Cary Fukunaga (True Detective), but the filmmaker left the project after clashing with the studio. But now New Line has found a new filmmaker for their It adaptation: Andrés Muschietti, the director behind the Universal horror hit Mama.





The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop on Muschietti boarding the project. New Line will reportedly search for a newscreenwriter to craft a script to Muschietti’s vision, with the plan intact to film the adaptation in two parts. This is strange because one of the reported falling outs between Fukunaga and New Line had to do with the filmmaker’s insistence that the adaptation consist of two films, the first featuring the main characters as kids and the second following them into adulthood.

Will Poulter was in line to play the evil clown named Pennywise but is no longer officially attached to the project. That said, Poulter could return depending on scheduling and other factors.

I was very impressed by Muschietti’s short film Mama, which director Guillermo del Toro called one of the scariest short films he’s ever seen. I was less impressed by the feature film adaptation of that short film, although the cinematography was outstanding. This isn’t the first time Muschietti has been attached to a Stephen King project — earlier this year he optioned feature rights to The Jaunt, the 1981 Stephen King short story About teleportation travel.
