After that, Bill Skarsgard starred in another horrific Stephen King Adaptation

Stephen King Superfans, especially those who read books in the “Dark Tower” series (currently adapted by Mike Flanean), will be able to tell you that many of the author’s stories are connected by unexpected ways. For example: In the original King’s novel “IT”, Dick Holaran with “Lights” and interacts with one of the children’s main characters. There is a scene in “Magic and Glass”, the fourth novel “Dark Tower”, where the heroes visit the plague of King “Stand”. Father Kalahan’s character from “Lot Salem” becomes one of the main characters of the “Dark Tower” series. There are several King’s stories in the fictional city of Rock Rock, Maine. There are many other connections that the reader can add a deep sliced ​​king to this list.

In 2018, Honchos Sam Show and Dastin Tomason decided to take advantage of their existing connections by creating TV Series Hulu “Castle Rock”, The show that collected previously separated by Stephen King’s characters to meet in the title city. And the links to King’s works were many. One of the central places of the series was the silicon prison, the main place of “Redemption of Sevshanka”, and the repetitive sheriff of the hero Alan Pangborn (Scott Glenn) was the character of “the necessary things”. The background expressions of the newspapers make references to books such as “Cujo” and “The Body” (the story that inspired “Become Me”), and there is a character named Jackie Thorrans (Jane Levi), who is Jack Thorrans’s niece with “Radiation”.

One of the main characters of “Castle Rock” is the character called “The Kid” played by Bill Skarsgard. Toddler, we need to clarify immediately, unrelated to clown pennies, a monster that eats a child whom Skarsgard played in the 2017 and 2019 films.

In “Castle Rock” the child is a resident of the Shevshanka prison with a mysterious origin that requires most of the series to reveal. Some other characters suspect he is the devil and he has a connection with some other characters. It will eventually be found that it is not at the age of 1991 (!), But even more importantly, it comes from an alternative measure. A complete explanation for a child’s story is more difficult than this; Of course, it is enough to say that the character has an unusual past.

It is also likely that Skarsgard was thrown into Castle Rock with his “IT”. Two films of “IT” Andy Musieti They received great success in 2017 and 2019, when they were released, with the first earn more than $ 704 million and the second – $ 463 million. Skarsgard gave an intense performance in style with ghosts as a space creature that feeds on young children. For the most part it took the form of a clown. The clown -dizing of the new Pennywise was immediately adapted to Halloween’s costumes, and the character immediately took his place among the most recognized murderers of horror movies. Skarsgard seems to have found something from a niche that played horrible characters from Stephen King’s adaptations.

However, he is unlikely to be the only one who plunged in the King basin. For example, Morgan Freeman played a red character in the “Removal of Sevshanka” before shooting as a General of the Army fighting aliens in “Dreamcatcher”. Katie Bates won Oscar for the sound of Annie Ulks in Missly, and then played Gorky and Jews in the 1994 mini -factory “Stand”. Drew Barimor was in the “cat’s eye”, and “Firestarter” when she was still a girl, and her “Firestarter” co-star, Martin Shin, was also in the “Dead” zone. William Sadler appeared in “The Shawshank Redemption”, “Fog” and “Green Mile”. The royal world is huge.
