I really enjoyed October Country's interview with Cemetery Dance's Brian freeman about the upcoming anniversary edition of Stephen King's IT. October Country: Freeman Interview
When asked about King's involvement in the project, Freeman says "King generally lets you run with your ideas for these special editions, but he does approve the artists and we send a lot of the artwork his way for feedback."
The interview is strong because while it says focused on the book, it covers a lot of different angles. How the book is put together, King's involvement, how the project came about. '
Here's a great question and answer. . .
October Country: It is often listed as a favorite among long-time King readers. In your opinion, what is it about the book that’s helped it endure?
Freeman: The way King deftly paints the very real lives and fears of children seems to resonate with readers of all ages. Plus, of course, most people are rightfully afraid of clowns.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have trouble visualizing Pennywise as anything other than Tim Curry's version? Say what you will about the tv-movie, Curry just nailed his vision of Pennywise to the iconic wall.
ReplyDeleteTim Curry was easily the best part of that movie, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking forward to getting my copy of this book from Cemetery Dance.
Yep, Tim Curry type-cast the role for anyone else who might try and step in. . . even if it's just a painting.
ReplyDeleteHey, I've never posted this because it's sick. . . BUT, did you know the serial killer (not saying his name, but he dressed up like a clown) did paintings of Pennywise? Yikes!

Penywise as painted by a serial killer, eh? Call me sick, but I'd actually kinda like to see those.
ReplyDeleteAnd I kinda want to NEVER see them, too.
