New it film

[CraigyLee]

Never had a film mess with my head as much as the original. Was a kid when I watched it, was scared shitless of plug holes and ponds for years Serious error of judgement. The new trailer looks good, but Pennywise looks like dinky the clown from wwf, doesn't seem as scary looking as the Tim Curry character

Same here was about 7

I've never watched a horror film since

The shining has already had a remake though

Totally missed this, probably glad I did.

After the ghostbusters remake nothing surprises me.

"Oceans" reboot with lasses is incoming. Oceans 8, leaving room for 9 and 10 to follow.

Splash remake, starring Channing Tatum as Daryl Hannah.

Lots of money is remakes of this sort I guess.

Unfortunately remakes tend to be shite lol! The original is a fantastic film. The book scared the shit out of me as a kid!

Hate to be that person but isn't the original a TV series?

Heard this is more true to the book though

Yes it was lol! Well spotted. Was just testing you

It was shocking. Not in a good way either.

I hope they don't remake the shining.

That will never be beaten.

Apparently King hates it! Probably the best adaptation of one of his books.

 

[Venkman]

Other than Curry's performance, upon re-watching the original miniseries it's pretty naff and cheesy.

 

[the dude]

Looks good but not sure a 2 hours film can do justice to the book. A big budget tv series would be better.

 

[Bear]

Looks like The Goonies with a clown.

When I first saw the new Pennywise, I thought it was Dexter (Michael C. Hall) due to the picture angle/look but it's obviously not.

Why mess with a classic ffs man can't they leave nowt alone.

 

[Boinger]

When (iirc) they are looking at a photo of the street and Pennywise comes dancing down the street and then jumps up the lampost.

Really shit me up... I was about 30 at the time.

 

[muggboots]

They're remaking Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - with female leads FWIW - so a remake of The Shining isn't out of the question.

Nothing is sacred.

Dirty Rotten Cowbags?
Dirty Rotten Bitches?

Doink man FFS
Dink was the midget version of Doink.

Jesus Christ.

They're doing a remake of him? Jessie Christ?

You should give it a try if you're a fan of the book. The Shining sequel does have the feel of a made for TV series but in many ways it beats the Kubrick version hands down.

Apparently King hates it! Probably the best adaptation of one of his books.

I think that King hates it with good reason. He says it lacks warmth and I agree with him.

Don't know if this remake is a good idea or not - I enjoyed the original immensely.

The most underrated Stephen King film adaptation is probablys Dolores Claiborne. I loved that.

Class film but not a great adaptation imo. Stand by me is probably the best adaptation, oddly I don't rate it that highly as a film.

 

[yorkyexile]

It would be a hard act to follow trying to be better than the Tim Curry Pennywise.

He nailed that part imo.

Nailed everything he's been in to be fair. Never be a better Frankenfurter

Actually looking forward to this, the book scared the crap out of me when I first read it. Wasn't that impressed with the mini TV series, for me it didn't catch the same horror as the book did and missed out a lot of stuff. Even though Tim Curry has big shoes to fill, I am really hoping they do the book justice.
