Jessica Chastain in Talks to Play Beverly in ‘IT: Chapter 2’!
Looks like they’re going BIG with the ensemble cast of this one.
Even before IT was released in theaters last year, many were begging for Jessica Chastain to play the role of Beverly Marsh in the decades-later sequel, and it seemed that Chastain herself was more than up for coming on board. Chastain, after all, had previously worked with director Andy Muschietti on his debut feature, Mama.
Today, Variety reports that Chastain is officially in talks to star!
“Sources stress that negotiations are early and that the script is still being worked on, but both sides have officially begun discussing her coming on to the project,” the site notes.
Sophia Lillis, pictured below, starred as Beverly Marsh in last year’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel.
Andy Muschietti is expected to return to the director’s chair, with Bill Skarsgård reprising the role of Pennywise. Filming is set to begin this coming Summer.
The sequel will arrive in theaters on September 6, 2019.
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
