The Story Behind IT Chapter Two’s Big Cameo
Spoilers for IT Chapter Two continue below!
Stephen King is no stranger to cameoing in adaptations of his novels, yet it still was a bit of a surprise to see him pop up in IT Chapter Two as the shopkeeper at the Second Hand Rose, where adult Bill (James McAvoy) reunites with his bike Silver. This is a cameo that director Andy Muschietti and screenwriter Gary Dauberman have been dreaming up for a while, though King was initially cautious to say “yes” to the role.
“With Stephen King, my hero — I grew up reading him, so he’s one of my life heroes — and I got to know him. I discovered a very loving and funny guy, and I wanted him in the movie, so I offered him a cameo,” said Muschietti at the IT Chapter Two press conference. “The first thing he said is, ‘Well, you have to consider that I’m a jinx. Every movie that I’m in, it bombs.’ So I said, I guess we should give it a try. I think we’re going to be fine.”
Parasite Review
This is an advance review out of the Toronto International Film Festival. Parasite opens in limited release in the US on Oct. 11 and in the UK on Feb. 7, 2020.
Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 film Snowpiercer was the futuristic tale of a train transporting the last inhabitants of Earth around an icy globe, the rich living in the lap of luxury at the front, and the poor toiling in squalor at the back. Inequality is clearly an issue close to the writer-director’s heart, as Parasite explores similar territory, but in a contemporary setting and initially in humorous fashion. But as with Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother and Okja, Joon-ho’s film straddles multiple genres, with comedy rubbing shoulders alongside drama, thriller, and eventually horror to tell a story that’s as entertaining as it is socially incendiary.
Joker Wins Top Prize at the Venice Film Festival
With a little less than a month to go before it debuts in theaters for the public, Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker movie has already become a critical success, snagging the top award at the Venice Film Festival, according to Variety.
Joker took the Golden Lion award at the festival, beating out controversial director Roman Polanski’s “An Officer and a Spy.” Joker is directed by Todd Phillips, who previously directed the Hangover trilogy and produced 2018’s A Star is Born.

AEW on TNT: Cody Rhodes Wants to Present Quality Over Quantity – IGN First
All September long, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2019-2020 season. Today, we’re checking in with Cody Rhodes and All Elite Wrestling, a fledgling wrestling promotion with big names behind it that’s about to unleash a new weekly show on TNT, premiering Wednesday, October 2. AEW on TNT will feature the likes of Rhodes, Jon Moxley (formerly Dean Ambrose of WWE), Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, newly-crowned AEW Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, and an exciting exhibition of stars on the rise.
AEW has its work cut out for it. Not that there isn’t an intense hunger among fans for an alternative to WWE, which still monopolizes the industry in most regards – but all eyes will be on AEW’s product to see if it’s truly the fed that can give the giant a run for its mega-money.
