Owen Teague, who plays Ben Mendelsohn's son Nolan
Rayburn on Netflix's hit drama series Bloodline, has joined the cast of the
upcoming two-part big screen adaptation of Stephen King's It.
Mama's helmer Andy Muschietti
is directing the split adaptation from a script written by Chase Palmer
("Neo-Noir") and Gary Dauberman ("Annabelle").
The first film will follow the
Losers Club, a group of teenagers who defeat the terrifying clown, while the
second film will be set years later and focus on the creature's return and the
now grown-up teens who have to team-up once again to fight the killer clown
even though they have no recollection of their first encounter.
The actor will play Patrick Hocksetter, a psychopath
with a fridge full of animals he has killed, who torments the Losers Club.
Teague joins Bill Skarsgård ("Hemlock Grove") as the
nightmarish Pennywise, and Jaeden Lieberher ("St. Vincent"), Wyatt
Oleff ("Guardians of the Galaxy"), Finn Wolfhard ("The
100"), Chosen Jacobs ("Hawaii Five-0"), Jack Dylan Grazer
("Comedy Bang! Bang!"), and Jeremy Ray Taylor ("42").
Cary Fukunaga was originally
set to direct the two-part adaptation with Will Poulter ("The
Revenant") set to star as It, but left over creative differences, which
pushed the project by a year.
Production on part one begins this July in Toronto.
