I wonder *why* it's going to be divided into two parts. If you're going to tell the story, tell the damn story. Don't chop it in half and make us wait two fucking years for the rest of it. The movie we ended up with deviated from the source material far too much for my taste. Sounds like Fukunaga's version would have been a disaster. I'd like to see Netflix - or anybody, for that matter - do a miniseries version that's actually faithful to the novel. Both the 1990 and 2017 versions fail in that regard. The book is one of King's best. Neither the 1990 TV version nor the 2017 movie do it justice. It never fails. No matter what the discussion is about, there's always some right-wing fuckwit who'll try to make it about politics. Better than the 1990 TV version, yes, but if you're a real fan of the novel, still not good enough.
