Andy Muschietti Shares Awesome Concept Sketch for “Killmouth” Scene in ‘IT’

When Stephen King’s IT was first adapted, it was turned into a made-for-TV miniseries that wasn’t exactly allowed to be as graphic, or as terrifying, as King’s novel. But the book’s second adaptation, this year’s Andy Muschietti-directed feature film, well, it was an “R” rated movie that pulled no punches.

And unfortunately for Georgie, he got the worst of it.

Taking the 1990 adaptation’s “Pennywise meets Georgie” scene to a whole new level of terror, poor Georgie has his arm gruesomely ripped off by Pennywise in graphic detail in Muschietti’s IT, before being dragged down into the killer clown’s underground domain. It was one of the most shocking scenes of the year… even if you were expecting it.

Over on his Instagram, Muschietti just shared some early concept art he drew for that scene, which he jokingly describes as “one of the comedic highlights of the film.”

IT arrives on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack/Blu-ray Combo Pack/DVD on January 9, 2018. Best Buy will be getting an exclusive Steelbook on the same day.

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
