One that takes place over many years might be cool, with her as like a low key serial killer no one catches or even really suspects, like have her move around kind of regularly or something. Then as the years go on she gets more wreckless and brutal until we catch up to when the first movie happens and she just loses it that night slaughtering the counselers.

I will say - if you ask a random person what they remember about Saw, it won't be traps or gore. It will be "dead man on floor turns out to be the killer" which definitely informed the rest of the series as they spent years trying to chase that same level of twist.

There was a comic book a while ago about a pregnant Pamela Voorhees, but I don’t think she was actively killing anyone. https://fridaythe13th.fandom.com/wiki/Friday_the_13th:_Pamela%27s_Tale

I think it's good in this case because it means a LOT more kid time than you may have been expecting, and maybe even some of the old Derry flashbacks, which were the best part of the book.

The shot of the sewer tunnel getting flooded also makes me optimistic that they'll include the other best part of the book, where a woman is blown to pieces on her toilet because the Derry sewer system tears itself apart.

One of my fav bits from the book is the first time the Losers come together and build a dam in the Barrens. Eddie and Bill had tried it before, but it was poorly built and Bowers' gang destroyed it. But all working together, using Ben's know-how, they successfully complete it. Then a cop tells them to dismantle it because they could cause a minor flood. which they end up doing as adults when they destroy IT, and the levies break, flooding Derry.

Yea I'm ok with a longer runtime in this case because it means there's probably a lot of stuff from the book that will be included that I wasn't expecting.

Speaking of which, for those that read the book, how split is the kids and the adult stuff? Like, is the adult stuff a lot longer so there's more of that to shove into a nearly 3 hour run time?

It literally keeps cutting back and forth in the book, there's probably more time spent with the kids overall. It would be pretty loving confusing if it was filmed that way, I gotta say.

If they did it that way they could have just made a 5 hour horror epic.

I dragged six of my friends to the midnight showing of IT part 1, there's literally zero chance any of them will come see the second part - midnight or not - with that runtime. Oh well.

Here's a link to an imgur gallery of all the photos in the movie and it seems pretty clear - compare photos 3 and 37: https://imgur.com/gallery/qBKgyjI They establish pretty early on that some, if not most of the townspeople reanimated; it's been a year since I've seen it but iirc Salazar tells the psychiatrist that there was a teenage boy that he watched die and reanimated that he had to stab multiple times to put him down again

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Hell yes I swear these long rear end films are actually putting me off going to the cinema. Even if I've gone to the bathroom before it starts, by the time the movie + trailers have finished, i'm in dire need to go again. The alternative is to either sit there thirsty for nigh on 3 hours or get up and miss part of the film. I'm actually kinda surprised more people haven't complained about the length of movies or if cinema chains haven't noticed a downward trend in folk buying their ridiculously sized sodas.
