 What is going on guys welcome back to channel critical overload here So the closest thing ever that we'll get to it chapter 3 is now Looking like it's coming closer to being a thing over at HBO max because we have learned that a series a Prequel series is now in the works over at HBO max It hasn't officially been green lit But I believe the anchor was the first source to actually report this and they kind of assumed that then that the Narrative about this prequel series we were all around the town of dairy and it was going to the origins of Pennywise of course The shapeshifter that stalks the town of dairy every 27 years and has been there for many hundreds of years Before even human civilization was there But variety has seemed to have disclosed a little bit more info about this They said a prequel to it is in development at HBO max and the series currently called welcome to dairy will begin in the 1960s to the time leading up to the events of it part one The stories also said to include the origin story of Pennywise the clown Andy Muschietti who directed it part one and the second one it part two is attached executive produced this series along with Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs According to sources the Muschietti's infusion developed the story for the show with the future writing the script and he Would also direct the first episode should the project go to series and the writer's room for it has already been assembled for the most part So, you know at this point if the series isn't green lit I just want to talk about the idea that if this happens this is again the closest thing we can get to it chapter 3 and We've already had this type of rumbling for many years in between it chapter 2 and now Even in between it chapter 1 or it part 1 and it chapter 2 There are rumblings, and you know and Andy mad at Andy Muschietti not mad a check He's gone on record to state that There's a lot to explore regarding the the town of dairy and Pennywise of course has been around for many years I know that the films themselves have changed a lot of the Timeline in regards to when certain events happen So like if the series itself would actually be set in the 60s leading leading up to what happened in it chapter 1 Maybe they could explore the whole black spot incident where the where it was burnt down and we know They could touch on some other stuff that has gone on in the town of dairy That wasn't necessarily I guess documented because the the shape shifter itself Which we know it's its most favorite form at this stage is Pennywise We know that even when it's in its slumber it has a hold over this town It has some type of Magnificent mind control that even when it's in its slumber It's kind of acting as the source for all of these hate crimes to go on and all of these crimes That just happened in general in the town of dairy. It's some type of malevolent force that just Causes all this chaos to ensue in dairy and then it awakens every 27 years to feed off of children because children are the easiest to Manipulate and spark terror in and the shape shifter finds something delicious in them all now as far as like Whether anyone from the movies themselves that we got in 2017 2019 will be participating in it That's not official But if this is indeed latched on to what we have already seen from the 2017 2019 movies I know a lot of you will want to have Bill Skarsgard back in the role of Pennywise and would want to see him You know carry this mantle even further in a prequel series because I'm certain that if this is a series That's again set in the 60s. This will be before Pennywise had awakened in the late 80s where the first movie was set at This will be before that they could explore the black spot being burnt down Then they could also touch on I guess some other undocumented things that have gone on in the 60s leading up to what happens in The first movie but all in all that might mean we won't see very much of Pennywise because as far as like them touching on the Origins of it in the 60s Pennywise wouldn't be awake So as far as like flashbacks, that's the only way we'll be seeing him Who knows anything regarding like what the character character names will be as far as like who will be focused on if this is set in The 60s prior to what happened in the film They could just do a whole thing where we are introduced to Characters that have nothing to do with the actual black spot incident and kind of just keep it based off the novel But then still tweaking the source material taking your liberty with it And giving us a whole slew of new characters set it in the 60s These characters can go over the origins of the town a little bit talk about Pennywise And that's how we get flashbacks of Pennywise have Bill Skarsgård factored in but maybe this is going to just be a more of a deep dive into Not necessarily Pennywise itself, but more so its hold it has over the town of Darien all these All these terrible crimes and incidents that have gone on in this town because of its presence And then lead us into the more than More than astonishingly great first installment and then of course that led us to the Second one, which I know a lot of a lot of people don't really like thought it was a bit of a step down Which I can agree with It has some pacing issues too, but not to go into a tangent on what's wrong with it chapter 2 But I would love to see this happen. I would love for this to officially be greenlit I would love for it to come into fruition become its own entity and Again act as the closest thing will have to it chapter 3 with the TV series You have a lot more opportunities to develop characters a little bit more of Dive into some other aspects of the lore of Pennywise a bit more because that is going to be something that's factored into it I'm sure I just feel like what it'll be more about is a deep dive into the heinous crimes that go on in Dairy because of Pennywise's Presence because again if it's set in the 60s Pennywise shouldn't be awake at this time We could go into details as to how It came to favor this identity because the film itself the second one in particular teases us that Pennywise was actually a Actual person and maybe this shapeshifter just decided to take on this form for whatever reason after maybe it possessed that Individual or maybe again, it's just taking on that form because that's what it seems to draw the most fear out of children with But we know it can take the form of anything that people fear the most I would love to take a deep dive into the town of dairy the novel itself is one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of reading We know Stephen King. He's pretty much a horror master when it comes to his novels So we'll see if this gets greenlit I know a lot of you would also love to see it happen Those of you who are fans of the original two films also fan of the miniseries and if there's a chance for Tim Curry to be involved I'm not against that either. I think Bill Skarsgård and Tim Curry both do their own unique things with Pennywise I know a lot of you have your favorites one over the other If I had to say which one I prefer I guess I would say Bill Skarsgård But that's not to discredit anything from Tim Curry Tim Curry was just the one that I grew up with for a long period of time And then I saw something very fresh in my late teen years with Bill Skarsgård I just kind of latched on to a bit more But let me know what y'all think about all this down in the comment section below If you have already of course make sure you subscribe turn on post location in this video in the description I've linked some social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course and then there's any movies news or views like me to cover in the future With all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video
