Maybe The Losers aren't the only group to have fought It? In the book it's explicitly stated from It's POV that the Losers were the only group to have fought It.

Mu Zeta posted:The showrunner quit because he asked for a larger budget for season 2 and they said no Gillian Anderson also quit as a result. Kristen Chenoweth is/was also thinking about it, but my 5 seconds of googling don't show anything definitive. Who would have thought that Hannibal of all things would be the longest running Bryan Fuller show? Speaking of, I still have no idea how the hell they aired that thing on network TV.

NBC only bitched about nudity so if there was too much butt or tits they covered it with blood

Bryan Fuller should stick to miniseries because nothing he runs last longer than three years.

Is anyone surprised by that? I've liked most of the shows I've seen by Fuller but they all get ended prematurely

Doesn't mean that in a series expanding upon the story it couldn't have happened before and there were no survivors previously. Maybe a different group didn't even fight it directly, but were working for The Turtle to delay it

IT builds it's monsters out of it's victim's fears. Episodic flashbacks to the 1880's would have monstrous White men with majestic beards or involve Indian raids and bad cases of cholera instead of movie werewolves and giant eyeballs. And it'd be awesome.

Pretty cool idea for an episodic period piece TV show actually. I agree.

All the Easter Eggs are great so far and I have a lot of theories already.

Could even do something like season one of Preacher, where five minutes of each ep was a flashback devoted to the origin of The Saint of Killers

I know a Wild Cards series gets mentioned here and there as in development. Frankliy, I don't think it will ever happen. People talked about Watchmen being too expensive and impossible to film for years (which I never got), WC would be even worse. But I figured if they were ever going to do WC as a series start it off in the 40s-50s with the arrival of Tachyon and the virus and the Four Aces and the early days of Ace/Joker stuff. Then every season is a new decade with a new overall story arc. You could probably just keep using the characters of the Doc and The Sleeper as constantly recurring given how slow one ages and how the other one constantly is reborn in a different body, different powers every time they go to sleep (so you could always just recast them, too)

I've not read any of Wild Cards, but I'm aware it's a bunch of connected stories involving different characters who gain superpowers and whose lives sometimes intersect. Isn't that just Heroes?

Ein cooler Typ posted:Pete and Pete season 3 was bad because it focused too much on Little Pete instead of Big Pete I didn't think it was that bad but both Petes were starting to age out of the show by then anyway. A Pete and Pete where BOTH of them were awkward teaanagers (or in Big Pete's case, almost an adult) would've been really weird. It absolutely ended at the right time. fake edit: lol I looked it up and Michael Maronna was already like 18 when they made season 3, yeah that show was on borrowed time by then.

Wild Cards is pretty weird and big it's true. In retrospect though it wasn't actually very good (I preferred the thieves world shared universe). I wonder if a stumbling block might be the rights issues since each character/story belongs to a different author.

I thought $10m/ep was Game of Thrones's budget, but they also have a billion actors making like $1m/ep each so. I may have imagined these figures.

There's more upfront money on streaming shows because the creators have no syndication options. Like Seinfeld probably made as much money in syndication and DVD's as it made in first runs, but you don't have those options with a Netflix show. Could have still been a scam though.

The individual stories are copyrighted to their respective authors, but the characters and books are all owned by the Wild Cards Trust headed by GRRM. Essentially it's up to him to decide how the stories will be sold, then to make sure the relevant people get paid from the proceeds.

I’ve only seen the first season, but it seemed to take place in lots of castles and stately homes. We have about a million of those in Britain, so I can’t imagine it’s location that’s expensive. Did they make real diamond crowns for the queen?

Costume dramas cost a shitload because making period outfits costs a shitload, and there was also probably a lot of CGI you didn't notice to remove any anachronistic stuff where they were filming.

Anything set more than a couple of decades in the past costs a lot of money because literally every outfit needs to be a costume and all the cars and appliances need to be vintage. The further back you go the more it costs because more of the props and sets and costumes need to be made specifically for the production. Especially once you go back far enough for something early modern or medieval.

Also if shooting on location you'd have to paint out/shop in buildings that existed only at the time or weren't built yet.
