Art Book ‘You’ll Float Too: The World of IT’ Celebrating Chapter One and Two This September
Just a few days after the release of Andy Muschietti’s IT: Chapter Two in September, we’ve learned today, a hardcover art book will be unleashed that celebrates both films. Titled You’ll Float Too: The World of IT, the book was penned by Alyse Wax, with an intro from Muschietti.
The official behind the scenes companion will release on September 10.
“Collecting the best artwork produced during the making of both of these sophisticated and visually enthralling films—including concept art, sketches, storyboards, and behind-the-scenes photography—You’ll Float Too: The World of IT explores the films’ singular aesthetic and meticulous world-building.”
“This compendium includes commentary from director Andy Muschietti; producers Barbara Muschietti, Dan Lin, and Roy Lee; the acclaimed ensemble cast; and other creative players who helped bring a new, disturbing vision of King’s perennial bestseller to life.”
Netflix is reuniting with Emilia Perez director Jacques Audiard on an adaptation of French horror novel La Nuit ravagée, Variety reports today.
The project is described as an elevated horror film based on the critically acclaimed horror novel by Jean-Baptiste Del Amo.
It’s set in “Saint-Auch, a fictional suburb on the outskirts of Toulouse in Southern France, in the early 1990s. It follows a group of teenagers drawn to an abandoned house that exerts a strange power on them. After one of their friends dies under disturbing circumstances, they decide to enter the house, not suspecting it’s alive with something supernatural. Once they enter it, it begins to feed on their private fears, desires, and traumas, turning their psychological vulnerabilities into something monstrous and inescapable.“
The French-language Netflix original marks Audiard’s first foray into horror.
The divisive Emilia Perez, Audiard’s Spanish-language musical crime drama, amassed 13 nominations at the 97th Academy Awards but also met with controversy when offensive tweets by star Karla Sofía Gascón during the film’s award campaign.
Del Amo’s source novel was published last year and has been described as an homage to ’80s and ’90s horror in the vein of Stephen King, though its social realism is what lends itself to the elevated horror concept and Audiard’s attachment to the project.
Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
