This isn't a remake, by your definition the Wonder Woman movie is a remake of the Lynda carter Tv show. It isn't.
Liam Hernandez
I'm always happy when R rated horror does well, fuck that milk toast pg-13 rubbish
Gavin Jenkins
and people complain at remakes/reboots/sequels... while feeding them all the time.
Jaxson Morales
Hollywood views it as a remake so your technicalities don't count.
Brandon Gonzalez
>not accounting for inflation
so the only reason its breaking records is inflation got it
Caleb Adams
Hollywood doesn't view it as a remake though
Carson Ramirez
>remake TV movie >not remake tho!
Matthew Morris
Whats Pennywise going to do with all that money?
Michael Garcia
I guess that means WB will finally pull the trigger on their long-gestured THE STAND film(s).
Owen Moore
Well they aren't inherently bad they just reboot shit all the time that's already good.
Lucas Rogers
Does it have some sort of new/different interpretation of the source material that causes a dramatic shift from the TV movie? No?
Ian Fisher
FLOAT
Parker Phillips
They didn't remake the mini series, it has nothing to do with it and the director hates the series
Jack Long
incoming it trilogy, sequel trilogy, prequel trilogy, sidequel trilogy, lego it movie, and it vs. king kong, vs. godzilla vs. predator trilogy!
Kevin James
>the director hates the tim curry performance
... well that makes a lot of sense, thanks.
Lucas Fisher
Can you read?
Luis Edwards
Creatives tend to hate the things that remind them they're engaged in nothing but rote repetition.
Colton Fisher
>>It is shattering numerous records, including landing the biggest start ever for a horror film, not accounting for inflation.
so when you say smashing records you meant not doing that
Lincoln Sanders
Glad they didn't try to repeat the tv series cause it was fucking trash
Xavier Butler
Hmm? It would explain why the new pennywise is so terrible. Why it fails on the fundamental levels of what makes clowns scary/creepy.
Luke Reyes
Does he only choose to be in good shit or does he make good shit happen?
Charles Lewis
So the movie isn't a coming of age story framed around an evil extra-dimensional entity masquerading as a clown?
Christian Hernandez
haha imagine if IT was like kissing you on the lips and then you squeezed his butt and he farted lol not that i wanted that haha
David Stewart
The new Pennywise is better than the Tim Curry one in every way. Talk about funny? He's funnier, talk about scary? He's scarier.
So he was right to hate the tv series
Hudson Smith
Hes technically only been in It twice. As that's what stranger things started as.
Tyler Gutierrez
>beats Deadpool pic related
Gavin Hughes
box office be down with the clown y'all
WOOP WOOP
Cameron Rivera
the lesson here is, remake movies that are some what obscure and not exactly "quality" but are still looked upon fondly. unlike what they do now, which is remake movies that are already great and hugely popular.
Parker Thomas
>Clown sightings Everywhere >IT about a Clown Killer >AHS does Clown cult 2017 really is the year of the Clown.
Caleb Campbell
It's like saying Emma Watson's Beauty and the Beast is a remake of Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast
Samuel Davis
No, it means we'll have Chapter II with a new director that will inevitably lead the franchise to ruin
Jaxon Williams
Wait until the general public finds out that Pennywise cameos in the Dark Tower even if it's in name only. Rentals will increase.
Noah Bennett
As if Hollywood wasn't going to keep on the remake/reboot train, anyway.
Brandon Sanders
they repeated the story structure of the miniseries.
Aiden Wood
Nice! That means it's objectively good movie!
Gavin Phillips
Pretty sure the current director is returning. He confirmed Part II will begin with the Adrian Mellon murder
Andrew Thomas
ahh have you ever heard of the movie is actually based on a book?
Lincoln Parker
you forgot the fact that a literal Horror Clown is president
Ian Cooper
Nice! That means we can expect more rated R horror films in the future!
Landon Turner
he was in some music videos from PUP, which makes me say the first.
Hudson Bailey
>He confirmed Part II will begin with the Adrian Mellon murder That's a good sign. I really want part 2 to be good but I have doubts. Though I also thought part 1 would and ended up really liking it.
Eli James
not confirmed but it's guaranteed to happen. he's just biding his time so can milk WB for sweet moolah now that his flick is a huge hit. same thing happened with jenkins and WW2.
David Rivera
>it's a Sup Forums gets BTFO episode Every goddamn week
Wyatt Bell
The fact that this has to be a franchise at all is the problem
Grayson Collins
annnnnnd that's awesome
Juan Taylor
the stuff with the adults was always the boring part. it's boring in the book, it's boring in the 90ies TV thing, it'll be boring here.
the original miniseries doesn't follow the book's story structure. this movie follows the miniseries story structure rather than the book's.
John White
>more rated R horror films in the future! the future: - rated R horror - rated R capeshit - rated R comedies - rated R thrillers - rated R dramas
yfw the only thing left PG-13 will be STAR WARS and Disney's live action remakes of their entire cartoon library
Isaac Sanchez
Exluding R comedies, i'm ok with this.
Christopher Campbell
>Hotel Transylvania 2 got about $49 mil first day
What the fuck, are parents so starved for a break from their kids they actually take their kids to that garbage?
Henry Barnes
modern r rating is like 1980's pg-13 though.
Owen Bailey
you don't like RAUNCHY comedies?
Dominic Brooks
Okay seriously though where is that tripfag spamming that this would flop in every thread. He just vanished
Michael Powell
are you the retard who says that anyone who likes the new pennywise is a kid because a wheelchair bound stroke cripple would've done his role better?
literally >m-muh t-tim curry
William Moore
Who gives a shit? A good movie is a good movie. Does it really matter if it has blood in it?
Dylan Wilson
In its first 3 days.
WB stays winning with Wonder Woman, Dunkirk, Annabelle & It; and Blade Runner, Lego Ninjago & Justice League to come.
Connor Reed
If only we got more rated R animation
Michael Morris
Literally no one is going to be remembering Dark Tower fondly, the movie was absolute shit.
Charles Lee
Gone watching IT.
Andrew Jenkins
he doesn't like getting #LITTY
Hunter Scott
This makes me happy
Lincoln Murphy
went and saw this yesterday, it was fantastic. pretty excited for chapter 2, i don't really see it not getting greenlit considering the success the first chapter has gotten so far
Jordan Murphy
can you describe the scene in dark tower, i haven't scene it.
Aiden Hill
>couldn't even beat Paranormal Activity 3
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHA!!!!
Matthew Jenkins
>pretty excited for chapter 2
You should be cautiously optimistic. The seconds half of the book wasn't as good. Same with the miniseries. IT just isn't as fun when the kids have all grown up. They could focus more on the history of the town and all the different events covered in the interludes, because lord knows people wont be as interested in seeing the boring daily lives of the adults.
Jordan Collins
>"Shills shilling at record levels on opening day"
>watch as they attack anyone who attempts to critique the film in any way itt
Brandon Cooper
So you think Sony regrets butchering Dark Tower after seeing how well IT is doing?
Luke Lopez
Based
Jack Wright
i think the japs at sony hq are about ready to cut that sinking ship of a movie studio loose.
Daniel Lopez
>worst summer in years >release something decent >everyone goes to see it
Okay Hollywood. That's how you make a movie. You don't need to get the Chinese market to be successful
Jose Lee
Hollyjew lives to see another day..
Carson White
R rated horror with no stars made more in one day than a pg13 action movie with 2 a-listers
Nathaniel Edwards
LMFAO
Ayden Wood
then what the fuck is it? a """reboot"""?
Jacob Ramirez
Jake and Roland pass through the ruins of an amusement park and you see Pennywise's name on an archway sign.
Kayden Scott
>planned hexilogy This is going to end well.
Austin Rodriguez
If a new LOTR movie was made, it would not be considered a remake of the movies, it would be considered a new adaptation of the books.
Nathaniel Taylor
Is this pasta? Each time I read it I laugh harder I feel like I have severe autism now please send help
Blake Sullivan
do you call every dracula movie a remake?
Michael Brown
A novel adaptation, are you retarded?
Austin Wright
Do you consider Twilight Zone: The Movie a remake of the Twilight Zone?
Ian Perez
this was my favorite scene
Isaac Edwards
Is this a JoJo reference?
Isaiah Williams
R rated comedies: >THIS WINTER > STARRING SETH ROGEN, JAMES FRANCO, JONAH HILL > WEED PENIS HANUKKAH PARTY > things will never be the same
Jeremiah Phillips
yes
so the movie came out before the novel and made its own plot, good to know
Lincoln Gomez
t. shill
Kayden Johnson
>Cinema is fine, its ok if there's no original ideas and everything is a """re-imagining"""
I'd like to have one 'kill me' please
Brody James
Rated R is shit, though. R is voluntarily censored, meaning a panel of people in California including a Rabbi, two Vicars and a Catholic priest or something get to force edits on films to make sure the director (an adult) doesn't show you (also an adult) anything too scary, sexual, or shocking. It's so retarded. I cannot wait until all theatres go out of business and everything is direct to streaming, hopefully we won't have to rate things and we can finally see big erect penises in our movies.
Though, I think it makes sense to rate kids movies, still.

Surprise, surprise, you have no argument. Might as well just backpedal and claim you were just being le epic troll.

This is so blatantly being socially-engineered to be a hit. Hollywood are desperate for something to succeed after a disastrous summer.
Andrew Long
A SOFT SEABOOT REBOOT
Brody Collins
Just saw the movie. Finn's constant epic quips and the new stereotypical monster Pennywise (teleporting, twitchy/head shake attacks in all the jumpscares) ruined it for me. Beaverly was top-qt though so I would say 2,5/5 overall.
