I cannot stop thinking about this deleted scene from IT Chapter 2 as described by Andy Muschietti in an interview.

“’When you see McAvoy confronting his fear in the flooded basement,’ Muschietti paints the picture, ‘and he kills the notion of guilt by killing himself as a kid, he jumps back in the water. He’s lost, there is no way out, and suddenly, the eyes of Pennywise — Pennywise Bill, the kid — come out of the dark. But it’s not Pennywise, it’s the turtle that is swimming by him. And he views the turtle and he’s sort of fascinated, like, ‘What is this thing?’, and very soon after, the kids are swimming after it. So, McAvoy follows them toward the light, and he emerges back in the cavern.’

‘It’s a scene that’s connected to Chapter One,’ he continues, ‘when you see the kids in the quarry, and they’re splashing around, and one of them says, ‘There’s something in the water.’ ‘What is it?’ ‘A turtle!’ And they all go into the water. So, this is a continuation of that scene. It’s a beautiful scene, but I had to leave it out over pacing reasons. It was very emotional, but it was not in the right moment, where things had to move faster.’”

Like I’m sorry how did this not make it into the film at all?

The power of childhood friendships is so strong here like wtf. That’s why so many people loved and related to the first film, it wasn’t just a horror movie, it was a coming of age film. This scene ties into that.

The way it connects the films together shows an understanding and planning of the narrative structure that frankly other parts of Chapter Two lack. (Even if you love the film you know it’s true.)

The fact that it’s Bill’s childhood friends that help him find his way back is beautiful. The entire first movie showed that Bill needed his friends’ support in order to accept the death of his brother. And when he finally is able to face that guilt as an adult he has this sort of loss of purpose. Like he’s been holding onto his guilt for so long, and now that he is free of it he isn’t sure what that means for him, and it’s his friends -- as he remembers them when they held him in the cistern after finding Georgie’s jacket -- who lead him out. It touches on the themes of memory, childhood and growing up, as well as loss and guilt.

I understand that pacing-wise it didn’t feel right at this point in the film, but I will forever feel robbed that we never got to see it. And I’ll probably keep thinking about it until I die

too  long,  can’t  be  fucked  to  read:  richie  has  a  normal  childhood  until  he  n  his  pals  (  he’s  kind  of  in  love  with  them  n  never  gets  over  it  )  get  attacked  by  a  clown,  suffer  the  repercussions,  and  then  he  ends  up  in  truman  and  he’s  fucking  pissed  abt  it.  has  all  his  memories,  wishes  he  didn’t.

sometimes,  when  i  write  my  intros,  i  get  stumped  over  their  childhood  bc  it  was  a  childhood   ????????   nothing  significant  happened  ??????????????  --- -   wonder  of  wonder,  miracle  of  miracles,  shit  ain’t  quite  the  case  here.

richard  james  tozier,  known  affectionaly  as  richie  or  trashmouth,  is  the  only  son  of  wentworth  and  maggie  tozier,  and  for  the  most  part  they’re  a  relatively  unassuming  family.  wentworth  is  a  dentist  whose  attitude  towards  his  own  son’s  dental  care  is  simultaneously  strict  and  lax,  and  maggie  makes  a  life  out  of  spoiling  the  fuckshit  out  of  her  boys  but  she  loves  it.  there’s  nothing  out  of  the  ordinary  about  the  little  family  they’ve  built   ;   established  in  their  routines,  in  their  practices,  the  toziers  are  nothing  to  write  home  about.

richie’s  a  handful,  admittedly.  diagnosed  with  adhd  when  he  turns  four,  he’s   hyperactive, loud,  histrionic,  a  sarcastic  little  smartass  before  he  knows  what  any  of  those  things  are.  he  keeps  himself  entertained  with  comic  books,  drinking  in  their  bright  colours  and  their  intricate  storylines  and  develops  an  infinite  love  for  their  careworn  pages  and  their  impossible  tales.  they  keep  him  grounded,  strange  as  it  is   --- -   when  all  goes  to  shit,  as  it  inevitably  will,  he’ll  thumb  through  an  old  copy  of  uncanny  x-men  and  the  world  doesn’t  seem  so  heavy  anymore.  when  he  gets  his  first  pair  of  glasses,  thick - rimmed  plastic  frames  and  lenses  more  like  coke  bottles  than  actual  lenses,  he  spends  two  hours  spiraling  deep  into  the  familiar  world  of  his  comics.  when  he  gets  tripped  up  the  first  time,  when  he  gets  called  fuckface  or  four - eyes  or  worse,  he  swallows  back  the  lump  in  his  throat  and  legs  it  home  for  his  comics.  when  he’s  reading,  he’s  not  so  hyperactive   --- -   he  still  frantically  jiggles  one  leg,  but  he’s  quiet,  introspective   --- -   the  silence  is  rare  but  comforting.

his  sense  of  humour  is  sharp  as  anything,  practised  daily  on  his  poor  mother  and  father.  he’s  developed  a  slew  of  Voices,  little  impressions  that  differ  only  in  tone  and  intention,  but  wentworth  and  maggie  encourage  him  to  keep  working,  keep  building  on  them.  his  wit  gets  him  into  trouble  at  school,  and  numerous  teachers  have  written  in  reports  that  richie’s  got  a  bit  of  a  reputation  for  being  a  class  clown.   (   humour  is  a  desperate  attempt  to  grab  out,  to  latch  onto  a  friend  because  really,  he’s  so  fucking  lonely  it  hurts  and  he  just  wants  someone  to  laugh  at  him  and  entertain  his  endless  bullshit  and  be  there.   )

shouldn’t  have  wished  so  hard  for  friends,  because  they  come  along  in  the  form  of  the  losers’  club.  richie  moreso  stumbles  across  them  than  anything   --- -   knew  bill  denbrough  because  they  lived  on  the  same  block,  found  him  fuckin’  round  in  the  barrens  with  some  other  kids  and  hey,  it’s  like  they’d  been  best  friends  forever.  there’s  bill,  big  bill,  stuttering  bill,  de  facto  leader  and  richie’s  unspoken  idol.  there’s  stan,  preternaturally  neat  and  it’s like  he  came  out  of  the  womb  like  that,  already  a  coherent  amalgamation  of  smiles  in  his  voice  and  rolled  eyes.  there’s  mike,  with  his  killawatt  smile  and  good  intentions  and  comforting  voice  that  sets  ease  into  richie’s  perpetually  rattled  bones.  ben,  whose  creativity  and  quiet  reassurance  is  something  richie  pines  after  desperately.  beverly,  the  only  girl,  cigarette-scented  voice  of  rhyme  and  reason  and  rationality.  then  there’s  eddie,  and  richie  swallows  up  anything  he  can  say  about  eddie  before  the  words  come  out.

it’s  painful,  realising  you’re  in  love  with  your  best  friend.  it  starts  early,  a  quick  glance  here  and  there  that  lingers,  a  breath  that  catches  in  your  throat  when  you  see  him  smile.  you  try  and  push  the  feelings  down,  swallow  them  whole  before  they  can  infect  every  part  of  you  but  darling,  it’s  never  that  easy.  by  the  time  summer  arrives,  you  are  in  far  too  deep.  you  never  really  recover  from  your  pre - adolescent  tango  with  love,  and  it  develops  into  an  adolescent  waltz  with  it,  and   --- -   you  get  the  picture.

summer  brings   --- -   well,  it’s  been  years  now  and  richie’s  still  lost  for  words  that  fit  what  that  summer  really  was.  it  starts  with  a  few  kids  going  missing,  ending  up  dead  and  then  it’s  george  denbrough,  little  georgie,  one  arm  chewed  off  and  yellow  slicker  tainted  sticky  red  and  then  the  whole  world  seems  to  fall  apart.  bill’s  a  madman  on  a  mission,  and  richie  follows   --- -   follows  when  it  means  getting  taunted  by  a  demon  clown  alien  thing,  when  it  means  fucking  fighting  said  demon  alien  clown  thing,  snapping  eddie’s  broken  arm  back  into  some  kind  of  place  whilst  bated  breaths  are  held  back  in  case  it  hears.  they  beat  it,  and  richie’s  still  not  sure  how  but  he  knows  that  for  six  months  after,  he  can’t  look  at  a  clown  without  digging  bitten  fingernails  into  calloused  flesh  of  a  palm.  a  year  later,  he  still  jumps  at  too - loud  noises.  two  years  later,  he  starts  seeing  a  therapist  because  his  parents  have  noticed  he  can’t  sleep  in  the  dark  anymore.

high  school,  college  applications,  they  all  become  a  blur.  the  losers  spend  most  nights  together,  endless  double  features,  piling  into  cars,  growing  up  and  together  and  apart  until  the  first  one  of  them  leaves,  and  it  feels  like  taking  a  fucking  bullet.  slowly,  they  all  scatter  to  the  wind,  memories  firm  but  never  forgotten  and  richie’s  planning  california,  hot  summers  and  comedy  shows  but  he  ends  up  in  some  shithole  called  truman  and  honestly,  he’s  not  even  sure  how.

he’s  not  his  happiest  in  truman,  let’s  waste  no  time  in  establishing  that.  he  wanted  to  be  away  from  derry,  sure,  that’s  no  lie  but  fuck,  man,  he  didn’t  mean  here   !   everyone  seems  perpetually  too - happy,  too  bright,  too  naïve  to  the  ways  of  the  world  and  fuckin’  child - chompin’  clowns,  and   --- -   he’s  determined  to  get  out  of  here,  but  he  doesn’t  quite  know  how  yet.

three.          ⤻          wanted     connections.

a  string  of  unfortunate  exes   /   all  you  send  are  full  stops.  before  he  comes  out,  before  he  finally  stops  pretending  to  be  something  he’s  not,  richie  dates  a  few  girls  and  honestly,  every  single  relationship  ends  in  disaster  because  he  charms  them,  gets  them  falling  only  to  end  it  when  he  realises  he  can’t  keep  kissing  them  and  wanting  to  brush  his  teeth  afterwards.  he’s  got  an  unfortunate  string  of  ex - girlfriends  who  would  probably  rather  see  him  dead,  and  he’s  semi - okay  with  that.

an  attempt  at  a  real  relationship   /   you’re  looking  like  you  really  like  him.   richie  tries  to  date  for  real  when  he  finally  admits  that  he’s  not  as  straight  as  previously  believed,  and  it  works  for  a  while   --- -   it’s  comfortable,  familiar,  keeps  him  warm  when  he  needs  to  be  but  it  falls  apart  quickly.  the  other  can’t  deal  with  the  way  he  thrashes  during  a  bad  dream,  borderline  screams  names  into  his  pillow   --- -   bill  mike  help  help  help  oh  my  god  ben  bill  stan  mike  billmikestanbenbillbillmikestanstanstan  help  me  oh  fuck  eddieeddieeddieeddieeddieeddie   --- -   the  breakup  is  amicable,  and  richie  can’t  bring  himself  to  hate  them.

Is Michael Keaton the New DCEU Batman?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Just who is under the Batman’s mask? It’s a question that’s bedeviled many a Gotham City villain, and it also appears poised to tax even the most loyal DC Extended Universe (DCEU) fan going forward, with a recent clarification on a New York Times report appearing to suggest Michael Keaton’s reprise of the Dark Knight in The Flash is more than a one-off.

Indeed, Times reporter Brooks Barnes generated additional news over the weekend when he elaborated on a profile piece he filed last month. In the earlier report, DC Films head Walter Hamada revealed DC is embracing a full-throated vision of the multiverse, with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman cited as occupying what Hamada described as “Earth 1,” and Robert Pattinson’s upcoming interpretation of Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ The Batman existing in “Earth 2.” Presumably this means “Earth 1” is the DCEU since Gadot previously starred opposite Ben Affleck as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017)—and all of which seems to exclude Michael Keaton’s iconic performance as the Caped Crusader in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).

However, in a recent tweet, Barnes was asked to clarify what he meant in his feature by writing, “Warner Bros. will have two different film sagas involving Batman – played by two different actors – running at the same time.” Was he referring to Keaton appearing as the other Batman, separate from Pattinson’s “Earth 2” Dark Knight?

“Keaton,” was Barnes’ one-word reply.

The seeming ramifications of his answer has not been lost on social media where DC fans were quick to interpret this to mean that Keaton has replaced Affleck as the Batman that appears in the other “film saga” running at the same time as Pattinson’s The Batman. In other words, it appears like Keaton could replace Affleck as the primary Batman of the DCEU.

Den of Geek has reached out for clarity on whether Hamada fully indicated Keaton could appear as the secondary Batman beyond his highly anticipated reprise of the character in next year’s The Flash. At the moment, Keaton is only slated to appear as Bruce Wayne in a supporting role in that Andy Musichetti-directed film. Presumably his Batman crosses over into the DCEU due to some time-traveling and multiverse-hopping shenanigans caused by Ezra Miller’s speedster superhero.

With that said, it is possible that Barnes was referring only to Keaton’s role in The Flash, which is expected to be bigger than Affleck’s cameo in the same film. Yet many are taking it to mean Keaton is replacing Affleck as the official DCEU Batman… and, technically speaking, it is possible. Through the convoluted machinations of time travel and multiverse-tinkering, writers can come up with all manner of absurd explanations to retcon stories as they see fit.

So while The Flash might begin with Affleck as the DCEU Batman, it could end with Miller’s Barry Allen inadvertently altering the space time continuum (or some such), and causing Keaton’s beloved interpretation of the Dark Knight becoming the one who stays in the DCEU. Think about how Marty McFly changed his parents’ life trajectories in Back to the Future.

Still, we’d take this interpretation with a grain of salt until there is further clarity. We’ll keep you posted as this story develops.

My question is how did Andy and Jaeden work on the stutter? Was it like written in the script, or did they work on which syllables came naturally to him? Either way, Jaeden did an amazing job with the stutter, and idk why that’s not talked about more.

Not Too Hot About It (Auston Matthews)

Anonymous said: Hi! Can you do an Auston Matthews one where he's got an irrational fear of something (heights, oceans, you pick!) but he has to face it for some reason and the reader is there for him and helps him through it? Thanks!

Word Count: 1794

Author’s note: With the release of It, I decided to kind of tie it into this story, since they filmed the movie in Toronto. With that being said, if you’re scared of clowns, you pry shouldn’t read this. I didn’t make it graphic or anything, just a guy walking around dressed as a clown.

You had never thought you were the type of person to be in a movie. Sure, you had acted in a play or two in high school, but acting professionally was for people who were actually good, and for people who were actually committed to acting. Since you just liked acting as a hobby, you figured your days of learning lines ended when you graduated.

After being coerced by a group of your friends into going to the open auditions for the new adaptation of It, you were thrust back into acting when you got cast as Richie Tozier’s older sister. This being a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you really had no other option in mind than to accept the role.

The decision would have been a little different if you had known that Auston was terrified of clowns.

When you called Auston after learning you got the role, you were ecstatic. Auston, although excited that you were going to be in a movie, almost threw up when he found out which movie you were going to be in. Not wanting to spoil your success and happiness, he shoved his feelings to the side in order to support you just as much as you supported him.

Thankfully, you never sent him any pictures or videos of that damn clown, explaining to Auston that Andy, the director, wanted to keep the fear as natural as possible by not allowing Bill Skarsgård to be on set dressed as the clown unless he was filming a scene. Instead, Auston’s phone was full of shots of you ‘mothering’ the young actors and videos of the cast goofing off.

Although Auston was very supportive of you, you wanted him to come to set and see you in action. While he was busy with hockey most of the time, he wasn’t busy all of the time. Mitch, Willy, Matt and Sydney had all managed to find time to come out and check out the set, your young castmates being in awe of your ‘adult’ friends.

“So, we’re filming the scene at the Neibolt House tomorrow.” You bring up to Auston while you’re driving with him to go out to dinner with some of your friends. Auston makes a noise of acknowledgement without taking his eyes off of the road. “You don’t have practice until three tomorrow, and my call-time is eight in the morning.” You hint. Auston sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

“And you want me to come to the set with you tomorrow?”

“Well aren’t you smart.” You’re both silent for a minute, the grin on your face slowly dimming as time passes. “Will you?”

“Will I what?” Auston responds. You huff and slip your hand away from the one that Auston doesn’t have on the wheel.

“Will you come to set with me tomorrow?” You ask.

“I don’t-”

“Auston.” You snap. His eyes flicker from the road to you, seeing the expression on your face. “I don’t understand what you have against seeing me at my job. I love you, and I am at every single home game. I stock up the kitchen so the other rookies don’t starve, I have insane amounts of ice in the house for ice packs and ice baths, and I wash your gross hockey gear.” Even though this is a serious conversation, you can’t help the slight smile on your face as Auston nods.

“And you know I appreciate all of that very much.”

“Then why can’t you put in as much effort as I do?” You say bluntly. “A relationship is supposed to be both people putting in equal amounts of effort, but lately it feels like I’m putting in a hell of a lot more than you are. If there’s something bothering you about this, just tell me-”

“There’s nothing bothering me!” Even though you guys tell each other everything, the idea of letting you know just how terrifying something as dumb as a clown is to Auston seems unfathomable. “There’s nothing bothering me, (Y/N).” Auston reiterates. “I’m not going to promise that I can be there for too long, but I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

“Really?” You gasp, a grin on your face. Auston nods.

“Really.”

“Fantastic! Because I promised the kids that they would get to meet you before we wrap.” You trail off.

“Meeting Mitch and Willy wasn’t enough for them?” Auston asks.

“For some reason, they all really want to meet you. Can’t say that I see why they do, though.” Auston looks at you, a look of faux shock on his face.

“How rude, (Y/N)! Shouldn’t you be nice to the person buying you drinks tonight?”

“I think we’re a little past that point in our relationship, babe.” Auston slows to a stop in front of the bar, turning the car off as you lay your head on his shoulder. “Thank you. I don’t think you know how much this means to me.”

“I’d do anything for you.” He mutters, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “Now let’s go inside. I’m sure Matt and Freddie are already trying to outdrink each other.”

You’re nearly bouncing in your seat with excitement as you drive yourself and Auston to the studio the next morning, excitedly flashing your pass to security.

“Good morning, Anne!” You chirp, sending the security guard a friendly wave.

“Morning, (Y/N).” The woman shoots you and Auston a smile as you pull forward, driving to the makeup trailer to get ready for the day. You eagerly jump out of the car, ready to show the set to Auston (or show Auston off, same difference), but stop when he hesitates.

“What’s wrong?” You ask upon seeing the pale look on his face.

“Is...is the clown going to be in there?” You shake your head slowly.

“No, Bill has such complicated makeup that he has a completely different trailer. Why, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Nothing at all.” Auston shoots you a small smile as you look at him warily before gesturing for him to follow you.

The next half hour passes by in a blur of excited squeals from younger castmates upon meeting your boyfriend. Auston’s cheeks are flushed from the attention he receives, something that you know he’ll probably never get used to.

“Can we take a group picture?” Finn Wolfhard, your ‘little brother,’ asks. Auston nods.

“Of course!”

“Cool! I’ll go get Bill, he’d be pissed if he didn’t get to meet you.” Jack Grazer races off, not noticing the less-than-satisfied look on Auston’s face. Auston pulls you to the side of the group as you smile at him.

“Thank you so much for this. I know that the kids have been kind of crazy-”

“No, they’re great! You know this is my favorite part of being a hockey player. It’s just that, (Y/N), there’s something that I haven’t told you before…” Your brows furrow as you lean closer to Auston, trying to give him some sense of privacy so that he can feel comfortable telling you whatever it is he’s hiding. Before he can speak, however, the door of the trailer bursts open, Jack walking in, followed by the towering figure of Bill Skarsgård. He doesn’t have his wig or costume on, but his makeup is frighteningly complete as he shoots a sheepish grin to Andy Musichetti.

“Sorry for breaking your rule, but I figured that this would be excusable.” Bill turns to Auston, a huge (admittedly creepy) smile on his face. “Hey man, it’s great to meet you, I’m a huge fan.” Auston smiles tightly, tentatively gripping Bill’s outstretched hand.

“(Y/N), babe, can I speak to you outside for a moment?” You nod, grabbing Auston’s arm and dragging him outside.

“What’s wrong?” You ask once the door closes.

“You told me I wouldn’t have to see him!” Auston hisses.

“Who? The clown?” Auston nods.

“Yes! The fucking clown!” You’re confused for a moment before realization dawns.

“Auston, are you scared of clowns?”

“You can’t tell anyone, okay? The guys on the team will kill me if they find out I’m scared of clowns.” You chuckle lightly and stand on your tiptoes, kissing his cheek as he avoids your gaze.

“Auston, it’s okay to be scared of clowns. So many people are scared of clowns; it’s perfectly normal! Besides, Bill’s a really nice guy. If there’s ever a guy dressed as a clown that you want to meet, it’s Bill.” Auston sighs and sits on one of the steps leading up to the trailer.

“I know it’s a dumb fear. I’m a nineteen year old man who’s scared of people wearing mime makeup and bright outfits.” You shrug.

“Fear often doesn’t make any sense, Aus. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, all we know is that it scares the hell out of us. And yet, we keep going, even when we’re scared out of our minds.” Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Auston smirk and nod slightly as you take a seat next to him.

“You supposed to be an actress or a philosopher?”

“Neither; I’m supposed to be a college student who’s dating a really nice guy who, it turns out, is human.” You lay a hand on his knee, Auston laying his own hand on top of yours. “It’s fine to be scared. Just know that I’ll always be with you to face your fears, just like I know you’ll be there to help me face mine.” Auston leans in to kiss you, but you both jump at the sound of your younger castmates hooting and making kissing noises.

“You would think that wouldn’t phase us now. This definitely isn’t our first date.” You laugh and kiss Auston, ignoring the kids’ shouts.

“C’mon, let’s get this picture over with so you can get out of here.” Auston shakes his head.

“What makes you think I wanna leave? I haven’t even got to see you act yet. You say that you’re so bad at it, I want actual confirmation that you’re as good as I think you are.” You grin and throw your arms around Auston.

“You’re the best! Thank you so much for sticking around!”

“Relationships are all about giving equal amounts of effort. You’re there for me with my weird hours and busy schedule, the least I can do is suck up having to stare at that fucking clown for a few hours so that I can watch my amazingly talented girlfriend do what she loves.” Auston opens up the door of the trailer and lets you in first. As you all pose for a group picture, you make a mental reminder to tell Bill to take it easy on the spook factor between takes. Anything to help Auston.

So when does the arcade scene take place in the chapter 1 timeline? You’d think that Richie would avoid it after being humiliated, but obviously not since that’s where Bill found him when they went to rescue Bev and defeat pennywise. I need answers.
