Jessica Chastain Wants to Play Beverly in ‘IT: Chapter 2’
- Thread starter jack_package_200
- Start date
I don't know if I could be down for anyone other than Amy Adams, since Sophia Lillis looks like they went back in time to when Adams was a teenager. But hey, Jessica Chastain is pretty good, too.
I hope Chapter 2 brings the horror to a furious level. I thought the first was an amazing film, thus it was a great horror film, however I did want to be more frightened by it in general. That's not to say it didn't have its moments, but there were also a share of misfires in this regard that felt too "modern" horror; like twitching faces, fast motions, all that.
The Patrick scene in the sewers especially wasn't effective at all and needed to be a lot more horrifying than it actually was. Hopefully they're able to push that further, especially where it's going to be an adult film rather than a teenager coming of age story. Just go all out with it.

I'd love Jessica Chastain in IT part 2...

I withdraw my post. Amy Adams looks uncannily like Sophia Lillis.
Whew.I'd love Jessica Chastain in IT part 2...

Damn that is uncanny.

This would be perfect casting. They look so much alike.
Not really, Isla has brown eyes.Isla Fisher, Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain.
There's more to casting than whether someone looks the part. Chastain is much closer to being able to actually play this part. She's done fucked up characters like this before, and Adams hasn't (at least that I've ever seen). Chastain is far and away my first choice, has been since I saw the film. She wants to do it, the director likes her for it, and Sophia Lillis herself likes her for it. I think we already have a winner.
Remains to be seen who they cast for the rest of the Losers' Club.

Isla Fisher, Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain.
I'm seeing double. Four Beverly's!
I'd be happy with Chastain or Adams. You're getting some incredible acting with either choice.
I might agree if Amy weren't a terrific enough actress. She could do it.
I'd prefer Chastain for her chops but it's undeniable that Adams is a dead ringer for an older Beverly.
It'll be interesting to see who they select to fill in for the guys.

A great actress that looks the part versus a great actress that looks slightly less the part.
I'll take the former! :p

I would prefer Amy Adams. She's a excellent actress who's a dead ringer for the younger version.
I'll do you one better for Ben. I really, really want it to be Jason Ritter:
Who ResetEra/the old forum knows best as his animated avatar (whom also was heads over heels for a cute redhead):
But most importantly, whose real-life father (Three's Company's John Ritter) was Ben in the original It miniseries in 1990!
Guy just pretty much needs a beard and he's ready to go!
Amy Adams all the way. She is my favorite actress. I've found her dreamy since I first saw her in Enchanted, and she's been great in every role I've seen her in since. She needs to be in IT Part 2.
Honestly, I feel like the best option would be to get both Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain for the film; remember that the original book goes to great efforts to note how Audrey (Bill's wife in the Adult part) is eerily similar to Beverly in physical appearance. Multiple characters in the book think on that specific detail when comparing the two.
It's just a matter of which one is better suited to play Bev and which is better suited to play Audrey.

Bev's actress is playing a younger Amy Adams in Sharp Objects. So someone already noticed the uncanny resemblance.
You got a whole bunch of good to great films to watch if you don't yet know about Chastain's acting.
She's a phenomenal actress and has honestly elevated a fair number of standard movies. As an example, see Mama, an otherwise fine horror movie totally made better by her presence. Also, worth noting that It's director worked with Chastain before - on Mama.
