Andy Bean and ‘Sinister’ James Ransone Confirmed for ‘It: Chapter 2’

It: Chapter 2

Sinister and Tangerine star James Ransone is just the latest name confirmed for It: Chapter Two alongside Jessica Chastain as adult Beverly Marsh–formerly played by Sophia Lillis. Ransone is set to play the adult version of Eddie Kaspbrak, previously played by Jack Dylan Grazer in the original 2017 film.

Grazer’s performance was hailed by fans of the first film as he played “The Loser’s Club” resident hypochondriac brilliantly. Not only is Ransone incredibly talented, but the resemblance between the two actors is genuinely uncanny.

Ransone announced his role in a since-deleted tweet on Tuesday. The internet, understandably, could not honor his humble request to keep the news quiet. Sorry, James.

James McAvoy and Bill Hader are also in negotiations to join the cast. McAvoy would star as adult Bill Denbrough — the unofficial leader of the Losers Club — who was wonderfully played by Jaeden Lieberher in the first film.

Hader would star as adult Richie Tozier. Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) portrayed the younger version of the role in Andy Muschietti’s first chapter. We can’t imagine a better fit for those roles – especially the always hilarious Bill Hader as the adult version of the young, foulmouthed Richie.

Additionally, in a recent announcement from Variety, Andy Bean has been cast as the adult Stanley Uris. Bean is perhaps best known for his roles in Power, Divergent: Allegiant, and Here and Now. Again, it looks like the film’s casting director has a keen eye for finding talented adults who sincerely look like older versions of their child counterparts.

Bill Skarsgård will reprise his iconic role as Pennywise the shape-shifting clown. Director Andy Muschietti recently teased the audience of CinemaCon at Caesar’s Palace about the tone of his upcoming feature:

“It: Chapter Two” will be even more scary than last year’s horror blockbuster, bring your adult diapers.”

Production for the concluding chapter is expected to begin later this summer, but we’re still waiting on casting information for fellow Losers Mike Hanlon and Ben Hanscom, as well as the villainous Henry Bowers.

Warner Bros. is set to release It: Chapter Two on September 6th, 2019.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
