I don't see how this could be a replacement for the supercut though,since this is an entirely different project.

I hope that King will pen an episode or two,it would be interesting to see him write Pennywise again.

Peekaboo!



I'm certainly intrigued. There's more than enough material in the novel to justify a prequel series exploring the history of Derry and Pennywise's previous acts of violence. I don't wanna get too invested just yet, though, cause we're still waiting on that supercut, as well as the follow-up book that King was rumoured to be writing (which I'm increasingly thinking doesn't exist, lmao).

Yeah, it's King. If he was writing it, the novel would be finished and released by now. He and Sanderson are machines. They crank that stuff out like no one else.

I think this has a high chance of getting made (I mean, it’s a King Miniseries) and the concept itself sounds pretty dope, especially with so much possible to do. I think the supercut might be a pipe dream however, I don’t know the logistics of how to get it made now considering how the two films where shot, but I think Muschetti wanted extra footage and obviously with so much time passing now, I don’t think it’s possible.

At one point Muschietti said that for the so-called supercut he'd have to shoot a bunch of new stuff, including flashbacks covering some of the past events Mike learns about over the years.

Wouldn't surprise me if some of those ideas have translated to this.
