Honest Trailer for ‘It: Chapter Two’ Digs on the Film’s Runtime and Lack of Danger [Video]
Let’s be extra honest, It: Chapter Two was a bit of a disappointment. While it wasn’t a bad movie, it didn’t quite carve out its own identity following its smash-hit predecessor.
With that comes the latest “Honest Trailers”, which piles onto the Stephen King adaptation that they joke carries a “scary” runtime, and features a cast of celebrities who are all still losers.
The funniest bit is going to strike a nerve with King fans: “Bill is an author who writes crappy endings in a nod to both Stephen King and a movie you’re watching.”
The trailer does point out some glaring flaws in the film, such as the film’s lack of stakes: “Pennywise, a shape-shifting clown who can kill them at any time…but doesn’t.” It also notes how the first film cut down on the fluff, while the second embraced King’s original work.
Oh, and keep an eye out for a Bloody Disgusting cameo!
Jennifer Holland (“Peacemaker”) and Dave Annable (“Lioness”) will lead the cast of upcoming supernatural Civil War thriller Brine, Deadline reports this afternoon.
B.J. Golnick (“Hunting Hitler”) will be directing Brine.
Brine follows a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands.
When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.
Jonah Wharton (Lioness), Sissy Sheridan (Chicken Girls), and Grayson Lay (Outer Banks) also star. The screenplay was written by B.J. Golnick and Jeremy Miller.
“Brine is a story about survival, but it is also a story about inheritance…The violence we pass down, the myths we create to justify it, and the cost of trying to break free,” Golnick previews.
“We intend for the film to feel intimate, historically grounded and deeply unnerving, as if the supernatural elements weren’t invented, but unearthed from the marsh itself.”
