Screenwriter Gary Dauberman has confirmed that the craziest part of Stephen King’s famed novel “IT” will be in the upcoming film, IT: Chapter 2 and NO it’s not the orgy scene! The famed “Ritual of Chüd” will be seen on screen for the first time. The ritual in question comes directly from the novel and is the true way to defeat the creature Pennywise. It’s a battle of wills where once started, those partaking in it are taken to another dimension. The ritual starts when one of the club members touches their tongue on top of Pennywise’s tongue, from there are bound when another member of the Losers club bites down on both tongues. From there another one of the Losers tells jokes and the first one to laugh is sent to the underworld. Since this will be in the film, it only means one thing; we may be able to now see Maturin, the famed giant galactic turtle who

Hollywood is filled with crazy stories of character actors and the lengths they go for the perfect performance.

Bill Skarsgard, the man behind the clown, confirmed as much in an interview with EW. “I liken every character that I do to a relationship that you’re in,” Skarsgård tells EW. “Pennywise and Bill go into this sort of relationship together, and I’m trying to figure out who he is and I have to devote so much time and effort to this other person – or thing, in this case – and that goes on for months. It’s just like being in a very destructive relationship. “After we wrapped, I was in my childhood home in Sweden, sitting having coffee with my mom at our kitchen table, and realized, ‘Oh, holy sh—, I don’t have to deal with

New Georgie Denbrough Funko Figure Is Depressingly Adorable

Georgie, with his big brown eyes and sleek yellow slicker, might be the cutest movie kid in years. He’s significantly less cute after being pulled down a gutter and turned into a little zombie boy, but that’s to be expected. So damn cute! So of course, Funko had to make a POP! figure out of him, although to be fair, it seems like the only film Funko hasn’t made toys out of yet is “Schindler’s List”. Georgie doesn’t seem too happy to be immortalized in plastic however. Maybe it’s because they stuck him next to the demon clown that bit his fucking arm off. Just a thought. Pennywise and Georgie will be available later this Winter.
