I'm sure Lindsay Lohan's available......;;D

See, you're joking about that, but it's not that bad of an idea. Lohan is 31 now, if the second part of the movie is made in a couple-three years, she'd be close to her mid-thirties and could pass for a young-looking 40ish, looks good as a red-head and was a damn good actress when she had her stuff together. Beverly Marsh had a bad childhood which could easily result in a bad adulthood. I could think of worse people to embody that than Lindsay Lohan.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah, you may very well be right.

She's due for a "comeback" as it were, and I could see her absolutely throwing herself into the role; mind, body, and soul.

At the very least I hope she auditions.

Here's a helluva thought: let's say chapter two just freakin KILLS it, bigger than the first--makes too much $ for those greedy Hollywood bumhugs to leave It alone. So we get chapter three. This time with five geriatric Losers heading on back to Derry for one more round of whack the clown. After that, maybe we'll get Pennywise Takes Manhattan. After that, give it a year or two, we can reboot the franchise, start It up again. Let Rob Zombie have a go--see what Bob Grey looks like with a beard. Tyler Perry's Madea Kicks Stephen King's It's Ass: A Zack Snyder film.

(Ugh...just threw up in my mouth a little bit.)

Forget everything I just said.

I'm operating under the assumption that nothing regarding the plot of Chapter Two has been set yet.

Who's to say the next chapter might be a more thorough examination of IT's greatest hits in the past?

Uh...nobody.

I don't think you quite got my joke.

But hey, thanks for playing. Tell em what he gets, Johnny...

Well, Muskie, our Hedless Contestant goes home with a fully abridged collection of John Saul's greatest hits, not to mention a year's supply of Turtle wax--to keep that shell lustrous and glossy. Turtle Wax...wouldn't you?

I hope Michael Caine is in there somewhere.

No, I got the joke.

Hollywood is shameless.

That being said, the first ones have to be good before they can really start over-milking the cash cow.

Your scenario, while it sounds ridiculous, isn't outside the realm of possibility.

I was working under the assumption that when you said "The second movie KILLS it" that it would be the end of the original story.

Done correctly, this could be a trilogy. Then the milking starts with absurdity.
