I'm sure Andy's already got his own vision for this, but for fun, I was wondering what you guys would do for the cold opening and the opening credits for Chapter 2.
Here's my idea...
Obviously, Georgie's murder was the cold opening of the current film. I think Stan's suicide should be the cold opening in the second film. Also, while he and his wife were watching Family Feud in the book and Perfect Strangers in the mini-series, I think in the movie they should either be watching The Big Bang Theory or Modern Family. He gets the call from Mike, then tells his wife he's taking a bath. The word "IT" written on the wall in his blood should serve as Chapter 2's title card.
Since I've always thought the book was a metaphor for the whole world's problems anyway, I think it'd be unsettling but effective to have the rest of the opening credits accompanied by a montage of various events from 1989 to 2016 - Tiannamen Square, AIDS epidemic, Desert Storm, Rodney King, L.A. riots, Waco, OJ Simpson, Oklahoma City, Unabomber, Heaven's Gate, Columbine, 9/11, Columbia explosion, Hurricane Katrina, Pulse Nightclub, et al. Kind of like the openings of World War Z and the 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead. And, I think the song for this one, should be "Ted Just Admit It" from Jane's Addiction.
What do you guys think?
