Comments Off on CASTLE ROCK: Bill Skarsgård on Diving Back into the Stephen King Universe
Bill Skarsgård made a splash when he played Pennywise in 2017’s film adaptation of Stephen King’s IT, and he didn’t stray far in the aftermath. Skarsgård plays a vital—and mysterious—role in Hulu’s CASTLE ROCK, an original drama based on the terrifying town that played a key role in many of King’s stories.
But understandably, Skarsgård was initially a bit hesitant about signing on to another King project so close to IT. “I was a little bit reluctant to [join the show]—everything was very secretive about this project,” Skarsgård told reporters before the show’s Comic-Con panel. “I was reluctant because I was like, I had just done something in that world, and I don’t know how that interferes with that IT narrative. But as soon as they allowed me to read the pilot, that all changed. I fell in love with the show; I thought it was an amazingly strong pilot. I met Sam [Shaw] and Dusty [Thomason], the writers, and just loved those guys, so at that point it was, ‘I’m in. I really want to do this.'”

Comments Off on SUPERNATURAL: Andrew Dabb Teases Episode 300
SUPERNATURAL is reaching its milestone 300th episode in its upcoming 14th season. During Sunday’s Comic-Con panel, executive producer Robert Singer revealed he’d be directing it, but claimed he knew nothing about its plot. (He joked fellow executive producer Andrew Dabb was keeping it from him.)
In the press room after the panel, Dabb was more open about where they are thinking of going with the episode. “The 100th episode was very much a straight-up episode of SUPERNATURAL,” Dabb explained to reporters. “The 200th went very much in the other direction, where it was very meta…I think for the 300th, we want to do something that lies in the middle.”
