Impressive Fan-Made ‘IT: Chapter 2’ Trailer Assembles an All-Star Cast

Published

It’ll be a while before we see our first look at director Andy Muschietti’s IT: Chapter 2, as filming on the highly anticipated sequel (releasing September 6, 2019) hasn’t yet begun. In fact, casting is barely underway, with Bill Skarsgård set to reprise the role of Pennywise and Jessica Chastain in talks to play adult Beverly Marsh.

Unable to wait, a few fans have been cutting together their own faux trailers for Chapter 2, fan casting the adult roles by using clips from unrelated films. We recently showed you one of those fan trailers, and we’ve got another one worth watching for ya today.

This one comes courtesy of StryderHD, and it uses clips from films like Clown, The Conjuring and Silent Hill. Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Pratt, Terrence Howard, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Patrick Wilson, Jon Heder and Jessica Chastain make up the adult Losers’ Club.

Enjoy, while we wait for something real.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
